     ITT Industries, Inc., an Indiana corporation, files this Post-Effective
Amendment No. 1 to Registration Statement No. 33-45756 (the "Registration
Statement") as the successor issuer to ITT Corporation, a Delaware corporation,
within the meaning of Rule 414 under the Securities Act of 1933 (the "Act"), as
the result of the reincorporation of ITT Corporation in Indiana pursuant to a
statutory merger of ITT Corporation into ITT Industries, Inc. effective December
20, 1995. This occurred in connection with the distribution (the "Distribution")
on December 19, 1995 to the shareholders of ITT Corporation of all the shares of
common stock of ITT Destinations, Inc., a Nevada corporation, and all the shares
of common stock of ITT Hartford Group, Inc., a Delaware corporation, both of
which were wholly-owned subsidiaries of ITT Corporation. Immediately prior to
the Distribution, ITT Destinations, Inc. changed its name to ITT Corporation.
    
 
     The succession of ITT Industries, Inc. to ITT Corporation was approved at a
Special Meeting of Shareholders of ITT Corporation held on September 21, 1995,
for which proxies were solicited pursuant to Section 14(a) of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 (the "1934 Act").
 
   
     Pursuant to Rule 414(d) under the Act, ITT Industries, Inc., as successor
issuer to ITT Corporation, hereby adopts the Registration Statement as its own
Registration Statement for all purposes of the Act and the 1934 Act. The
Prospectus contained in this Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 to the Registration
Statement sets forth the additional information necessary to reflect any

foreign currency units, and the principal of and any interest on the Debt
Securities may be payable in U. S. dollars, foreign currencies or foreign

the case of a dealer, and less, in each case, the other expenses of the Company
associated with the issuance and distribution of the Securities.

                                  THE COMPANY
    
 
   
     ITT Industries, Inc. (the "Company") is an Indiana corporation with
principal executive offices at 4 West Red Oak Lane, White Plains, NY 10604.
Effective December 20, 1995, the Company became the successor to ITT
Corporation, a Delaware corporation ("ITT"), pursuant to a statutory merger.
This occurred in connection with the distribution (the "Distribution") on
December 19, 1995, to shareholders of ITT of all the shares of common stock of
ITT Destinations, Inc., a Nevada corporation, and all the shares of common stock
of ITT Hartford Group, Inc., a Delaware corporation, both of which were
wholly-owned subsidiaries of ITT. Immediately prior to the Distribution, ITT
Destinations, Inc. changed its name to ITT Corporation. The Distribution
separated ITT into three publicly owned companies.
    
 
   
     The Company continues to conduct the automotive, defense and electronics,
and fluid technology businesses of ITT. The Company is engaged, directly and
through its subsidiaries, in the design and manufacture of a wide range of high
technology products, focused in these three principal business segments. Unless
the context otherwise indicates, references herein to the Company include its
subsidiaries.
    
 
   
     The Securities covered by this Prospectus will be solely the obligations of
the Company.
    
 
                                USE OF PROCEEDS
 
   
     The net proceeds from the sale of the Securities will be added to the
general funds of the Company and be used for its general corporate purposes
including, but not limited to, the repayment of commercial paper borrowings,
loans under bank credit agreements and other short-term debt, and the funding
and refunding of investments in or extensions of credit to existing or future
subsidiaries. Except as may be indicated in the Prospectus Supplement, no
specific determination has been made as to the use of the proceeds of the
Securities in respect of which this Prospectus is being delivered.

(1) Includes after-tax provisions of $111 million for the expected losses on the
    disposals of ITT Semiconductors and ITT Community Development Corporation.
    Excluding these provisions, the ratio was 2.66.
    
 
   
     The ratios of earnings to fixed charges for the Company set forth above
reflect the businesses of ITT Destinations, Inc. and ITT Hartford Group, Inc. as
discontinued operations for all periods presented. These computations include
the operations of ITT and its subsidiaries, and 50% or less equity companies,
being continued by the Company. For the purpose of these ratios, "earnings" is
determined by adding "fixed charges" (excluding interest capitalized), income
taxes, minority common stockholders equity in net income and amortization of
interest capitalized to income from continuing operations after eliminating
equity in undistributed earnings of companies in which at least 20% but less
than 50% equity is owned. For this purpose, "fixed charges" consists of (1)
interest on all indebtedness and amortization of debt discount and expense, (2)
interest capitalized and (3) an interest factor attributable to rentals.
    
 
                         DESCRIPTION OF DEBT SECURITIES
 
   
     The Debt Securities will constitute unsecured general obligations of the
Company and will be issued under one of the indentures described below (each an
"Indenture"), in each case between the Company and a banking institution
organized under the laws of the United States of America or of any State thereof
(each a "Trustee"). The following summary of certain provisions of the Indenture
does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to
the applicable Indenture, a copy of which is filed as an exhibit to the
Registration Statement. All article and section references appearing herein are
to articles and sections of the applicable Indenture, and all capitalized terms
have the meanings specified in the Indenture.

<PAGE>   6
 
GENERAL
 
   
     None of the Indentures limits the amount of Debt Securities which may be
issued thereunder. Each Indenture provides that Debt Securities may be issued
thereunder up to the aggregate principal amount which may be authorized from
time to time by the Company and may be denominated in any currency or currency
unit designated by the Company. Reference is made to the Prospectus Supplement
which accompanies this Prospectus for the following terms and other information
with respect to the Debt Securities being offered thereby: (1) the title of the
Debt Securities; (2) the designation, aggregate principal amount and authorized
denominations of such Debt Securities; (3) the percentage of their principal
amount at which such Debt Securities will be issued; (4) the currency,
currencies or currency units for which the Debt Securities may be purchased and
the currency, currencies or currency units in which the principal of and any
interest on such Debt Securities may be payable; (5) the date on which such Debt
Securities will mature; (6) the rate per annum at which such Debt Securities
will bear interest, if any, or the method of determination of such rate; (7) the
dates on which such interest, if any, will be payable and the record dates for
such payment dates; (8) the Trustee under the Indenture pursuant to which the
Debt Securities are to be issued; (9) whether the Debt Securities are to be
issued in the form of one or more global securities representing all Debt
Securities of that series (each a "Global Security") and, if so, the identity of
a depositary (the "Depositary") for such Global Security or Securities; and (10)
any redemption terms or other specific terms.
    
 
     If any of the Securities are sold for foreign currencies or foreign
currency units or if the principal of or any interest on any series of Debt
Securities is payable in foreign currencies or foreign currency units, the
restrictions, elections, tax consequences, specific terms and other information
with respect to such issue of Securities and such currencies or currency units
will be set forth in the Prospectus Supplement relating thereto.
 
     The Debt Securities may be issued in fully registered form without coupons
("Fully Registered Securities"), or in a form registered as to principal only
with coupons or in bearer form with coupons. Unless otherwise specified in the
Prospectus Supplement, the Debt Securities will be only Fully Registered
Securities. In addition, Debt Securities of a series may be issuable in the form
of one or more Global Securities, which will be denominated in an amount equal
to all or a portion of the aggregate principal amount of such Debt Securities.
See "Global Securities" below. (Sections 3.1., 3.2.)
 
     One or more series of Debt Securities may be sold at a substantial discount
below their stated principal amount, bearing no interest or interest at a rate
which at the time of issuance is below market rates. Federal income tax
consequences and other special considerations applicable to any such series will
be described in the Prospectus Supplement relating thereto.
 
   
CERTAIN COVENANTS OF THE COMPANY
    
 
   
     None of the Indentures will require the Company to maintain any Domestic
Subsidiaries. Accordingly, if the Company elects not to maintain any Domestic
Subsidiaries, none of the Indentures will provide any limitations on the
activity of any subsidiary of the Company. However, each Indenture will contain
certain provisions applicable to any companies maintained as Domestic
Subsidiaries, and such provisions are described below.
    
 
     Definition of Domestic Subsidiary. The term "Domestic Subsidiary" will be
defined in each Indenture to mean any subsidiary which is neither a Foreign
Subsidiary nor an Unrestricted Subsidiary. "Foreign Subsidiary" will be defined
to mean any subsidiary substantially all of the operating assets of which are
located, or substantially all of the business of which is carried on, outside
the United States of America and its territories and possessions, but such term
shall not include any subsidiary incorporated under the laws of any state of the
United States, substantially all of the assets of which consist of securities of
other subsidiaries. (Section 1.1.)
 
     Definitions of Restricted Subsidiary and Unrestricted Subsidiary. The term
"Restricted Subsidiary" will be defined in each Indenture to mean any subsidiary
other than an Unrestricted Subsidiary; and the term "Unrestricted Subsidiary"
will be defined to mean any subsidiary less than 50% of the voting stock of
which is
 
                                        4
<PAGE>   7
 
   
owned directly by the Company and/or one or more Restricted Subsidiaries, and
any subsidiary designated as an Unrestricted Subsidiary by the Board of
Directors of the Company. A Restricted Subsidiary may at any time be designated
as an Unrestricted Subsidiary, and an Unrestricted Subsidiary's designation as
such may at any time be rescinded by the Board of Directors of the Company, and
any subsidiary may be the subject of a series of such designations and
rescissions thereof, without limitation, except that: (i) a subsidiary may not
become an Unrestricted Subsidiary if, upon the effectiveness thereof, it would
own any capital stock of, or hold any indebtedness of, any Restricted
Subsidiary; and (ii) an Unrestricted Subsidiary may not become a Restricted
Subsidiary unless such subsidiary has outstanding no lien upon its property
which such subsidiary would be prohibited, under the restriction on liens
described below, from creating immediately after it becomes a Restricted
Subsidiary and, with certain exceptions, such subsidiary is not a party to any
lease which it would have been prohibited, under the restriction on sale and
lease-back transactions described below, from entering into had it been a
Restricted Subsidiary at the time it entered into such lease. (Section 1.1.)
    
 
   
     Definition of Consolidated Net Tangible Assets. The term "Consolidated Net
Tangible Assets" will be defined in each Indenture to mean the total of all
assets appearing on a consolidated balance sheet of the Company and its Domestic
Subsidiaries prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles as of a date not more than 90 days prior to the date as of which
Consolidated Net Tangible Assets are to be determined, but excluding (i) the
book amount of all segregated intangible assets, (ii) all depreciation,
valuation and other reserves, (iii) current liabilities, (iv) any minority
interest in the stock and surplus of Domestic Subsidiaries, (v) investments in
subsidiaries which are not Domestic Subsidiaries, (vi) deferred income and
deferred liabilities, and (vii) other items deductible under generally accepted
accounting principles. (Section 1.1.)
    
 
   
     Sale and Lease-Back.  Each Indenture will provide that neither the Company
nor any Domestic Subsidiary may enter into any sale and lease-back transaction
(except for temporary leases of a term of not more than three years and except
for leases between the Company and a Domestic Subsidiary or between Domestic
Subsidiaries) involving the leasing by the Company or any Domestic Subsidiary of
any Principal Property, more than 120 days after the acquisition thereof or the
completion of construction and commencement of full operation thereof, unless
either (i) the Company applies an amount equal to the greater of the fair value
(as determined by the Board of Directors of the Company) of such property or the
net proceeds of such sale, within 120 days, to the retirement of Debt Securities
or other indebtedness ranking on a parity with the Debt Securities, or to the
acquisition, construction, development or improvement of properties, facilities
or equipment used for operating purposes which are, or upon such acquisition,
construction, development or improvement will be, a Principal Property or a part
thereof, or (ii) at the time of entering into such transaction, such Principal
Property could have been subjected to a mortgage securing indebtedness in a
principal amount equal to the Capitalized Lease-Back Obligation (as defined)
with respect to such Principal Property under clause (1) of the provision for
limitations on liens referred to below without securing the Debt Securities as
contemplated by that provision. (Section 4.5.)
    
 
   
     The term "Capitalized Lease-Back Obligation" will be defined in each
Indenture to mean the total net rental obligations of the Company or a Domestic
Subsidiary under any lease entered into as part of a sale and lease-back
transaction involving a Principal Property discounted to present value at the
rate of 9% per annum. The term "Principal Property" will be defined in each
Indenture to mean any single manufacturing or processing facility owned by the
Company or any Domestic Subsidiary having a gross book value in excess of 2% of
Consolidated Net Tangible Assets, except any such facility or portion thereof
which the Board of Directors of the Company by resolution declares is not of
material importance to the total business conducted by the Company and its
Domestic Subsidiaries as an entirety. (Section 1.1.)
    
 
   
     Liens.  Each Indenture will prohibit the Company and its Domestic
Subsidiaries from creating any mortgages or other liens upon any Principal
Property (without securing the Debt Securities equally and ratably with all
other indebtedness secured thereby), with the following exceptions: (a)
mortgages or other liens on any such property acquired, constructed or improved
by the Company or a Domestic Subsidiary to secure or provide for the payment of
any part of the purchase price of such property or the cost of such construction
or improvement, or any mortgage or other lien on any such property existing at
the time of acquisition thereof; (b) any mortgage or other lien on any property
of another company existing at the time it
    
 
                                        5
<PAGE>   8
 
   
is acquired by merger, consolidation or acquisition of substantially all of its
stock or its assets; (c) pledges or deposits to secure payment of workers'
compensation or insurance premiums, or relating to tenders, bids, contracts
(except contracts for the payment of money) or leases; (d) pledges or liens in
connection with tax assessments or other governmental charges, or as security
required by law or governmental regulation as a condition to the transaction of
any business or the exercise of any privilege or right; (e) pledges or liens to
secure a stay of process in proceedings to enforce a contested liability, or
required in connection with the institution of legal proceedings or in
connection with any other order or decree in any such proceeding or in
connection with any contest of any tax or other governmental charge, or deposits
with a governmental agency entitling the Company or a Domestic Subsidiary to
maintain self-insurance or to participate in other specified insurance
arrangements; (f) mechanics', carriers', workmen's and other like liens; (g)
encumbrances in favor of the U. S. Government to secure progress or advance
payments; (h) mortgages, pledges or other liens securing any indebtedness
incurred to finance the cost of property leased to the U. S. Government at a
rental sufficient to pay the principal of and interest on such indebtedness; (i)
mortgages or other liens securing indebtedness of a Domestic Subsidiary to the
Company or to a Domestic Subsidiary; (j) mortgages, pledges or other liens
affecting property securing indebtedness of a governmental authority issued to
finance the cost of a pollution control program with respect to operations of
the Company or a Domestic Subsidiary; (k) renewals and extensions of any
permitted mortgage, lien, deposit or encumbrance, provided the amount secured is
not increased; and (l) the creation of any other mortgage, pledge or other lien,
if, after giving effect to the creation thereof, the total of (i) the aggregate
principal amount of indebtedness of the Company and its Domestic Subsidiaries
secured by all mortgages, pledges or other liens created under the provisions
referred to in this clause (i), plus (ii) the aggregate amount of Capitalized
Lease-Back Obligations of the Company and its Domestic Subsidiaries under the
entire unexpired terms of all leases entered into in connection with sale and
lease-back transactions which would have been precluded by the provision for
limitations on such transactions described above but for the satisfaction of the
condition referred to in clause (ii) of the description of such provision, will
not exceed an amount equal to 5% of Consolidated Net Tangible Assets (as
defined).
    
 
     The lease of any property and rental obligations thereunder (whether or not
involving a sale and leaseback and whether or not capitalized) shall not be
deemed to create a lien. The sale or other transfer of (a) timber or other
natural resources in place for a period of time until, or in an amount such
that, the purchaser will realize therefrom a specified amount of money (however
determined) or a specified amount of such resources, or (b) any other interest
in property of the character commonly referred to as a "production payment",
shall not be deemed to create a lien. (Section 4.6.)
 
MODIFICATION OF INDENTURE
 
   
     Each applicable Indenture, the rights and obligations of the Company
thereunder and the rights of the Holders thereunder may be modified with respect
to one or more series of Debt Securities issued under such Indenture with the
consent of the Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount
of the Outstanding Debt Securities of each such series (including Debt
Securities of each such series issuable upon exercise of unexpired Warrants)
affected by the modification or amendment. No modification of the terms of
payment of principal or interest, and no modification reducing the percentage
required for modifications, is effective against any Holder without his consent.
For the purpose of these provisions solely a holder of an unexpired Warrant
shall be deemed to be the Holder of the principal amount of Debt Securities
issuable upon exercise of such Warrant. (Section 10.2.)
    
 
EVENTS OF DEFAULT
 
     Except as may otherwise be set forth in such Prospectus Supplement, each
Indenture provides that the following are Events of Default thereunder with
respect to any series of Debt Securities issued thereunder: (i) default in the
payment of the principal of (or premium, if any, on) any Debt Security of such
series when and as the same shall be due and payable; (ii) default in the
deposit of a sinking fund payment, if any, when and as the same shall be due and
payable by the terms of the Debt Securities of such series; (iii) default for 30
days in the payment of any installment of interest on any Debt Security of such
series; (iv) default for 60 days after notice in the performance of any other
covenant in respect of the Debt Securities of such series
 
                                        6
<PAGE>   9
 
   
contained in such Indenture; (v) acceleration of certain debt instruments of the
Company, which acceleration shall not have been rescinded or annulled within 30
days after notice; (vi) certain events in bankruptcy, insolvency or
reorganization of the Company; or (vii) any other Event of Default provided in
the applicable Board Resolution or supplemental indenture under which such
series of Debt Securities is issued. (Section 6.1.) An Event of Default with
respect to a particular series of Debt Securities issued under an Indenture does
not necessarily constitute an Event of Default with respect to any other series
of Debt Securities issued under such Indenture. The applicable Trustee may
withhold notice to the Holders of any series of Debt Securities of any default
with respect to such series (except in the payment of principal or interest) if
it considers such withholding in the interests of such Holders. (Section 6.11.)
    
 
     If an Event of Default with respect to any series of Debt Securities shall
have occurred and be continuing, the applicable Trustee or the Holders of not
less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Debt Securities of such
series may declare the principal, or in the case of discounted Debt Securities,
such portion thereof as may be described in the Prospectus Supplement
accompanying this Prospectus, of all the Debt Securities of such series to be
due and payable immediately, provided, however, that, subject to certain
conditions, any such declaration and its consequences may be rescinded and
annulled by the Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal
amount of the Debt Securities of such series. (Section 6.1.)
 
   
     Each Indenture will require the annual filing by the Company with the
applicable Trustee of a certificate, signed by a specified officer, stating
whether or not such officer has obtained knowledge of any default by the Company
in the performance, observance or fulfillment of any condition or covenant of
such Indenture, and, if so, specifying each such default and the nature thereof.
(Section 4.7.)
    
 
     Subject to provisions relating to its duties in case of default, a Trustee
shall be under no obligation to exercise any of its rights or powers under the
applicable Indenture at the request, order or direction of any Holders, unless
such Holders shall have offered to such Trustee reasonable indemnity. (Section
7.2.) Subject to such provisions for indemnification, the Holders of a majority
in principal amount of the Debt Securities of any series may direct the time,
method and place of conducting any proceeding or any remedy available to the
appropriate Trustee, or exercising any trust or power conferred upon such
Trustee, with respect to the Debt Securities of such series. (Section 6.9.)
 
PAYMENT AND TRANSFER
 
   
     Principal of, premium, if any, and interest, if any, on Fully Registered
Securities are to be payable at the place or places designated by the Company
for such purposes, provided that payment of interest, if any, may be made at the
option of the Company by check mailed to the persons in whose names such
Securities are registered at the close of business on the day or days specified
in the Prospectus Supplement accompanying this Prospectus. The principal of,
premium, if any, and interest, if any, on Debt Securities in other forms will be
payable in such manner and at such place or places as may be designated by the
Company and specified in the applicable Prospectus Supplement. (Section 3.1.,
4.1., 4.2.)
    
 
   
     Fully Registered Securities may be transferred or exchanged at the
Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee under the applicable Indenture or at any
other office or agency maintained by the Company for such purposes, subject to
the limitations in the Indenture, without the payment of any service charge
except for any tax or governmental charge incidental thereto. Provisions with
respect to the transfer and exchange of Debt Securities in other forms will be
set forth in the applicable Prospectus Supplement. (Section 3.1., 3.6.)
    
 
GLOBAL SECURITIES
 
     The Debt Securities of a series may be issued in whole or in part in the
form of one or more Global Securities that will be deposited with, or on behalf
of, the Depositary identified in the Prospectus Supplement relating to such
series. Unless and until it is exchanged in whole or in part for Debt Securities
in definitive form, a Global Security may not be transferred except as a whole
to a nominee of the Depositary for such Global Security, or by a nominee of such
Depositary to such Depositary, or to a successor of such Depositary or a nominee
of such successor. (Section 2.4.)
 
                                        7
<PAGE>   10
 
     The specific terms of the depositary arrangement with respect to any series
of Debt Securities and the rights of and limitations on owners of beneficial
interests in a Global Security representing all or a portion of a series of Debt
Securities will be described in the Prospectus Supplement relating to such
series.
 
DEFEASANCE
 
   
     Except as may otherwise be provided in the applicable Prospectus Supplement
with respect to the Securities of any series (Section 3.1), each Indenture
provides that the Company shall be discharged from its obligations under the
Securities of a series at any time prior to the Stated Maturity or redemption
thereof when (a) the Company has irrevocably deposited with the Trustee, in
trust, (i) sufficient funds in the currency or currency unit in which the
Securities are denominated to pay the principal of (and premium, if any), and
interest to Stated Maturity (or redemption) on, the Securities of such series,
or (ii) such amount of direct obligations of, or obligations the principal of
and interest on which are fully guaranteed by, the government which issued the
currency in which the Securities are denominated, and which are not subject to
prepayment, redemption or call, as will, together with the predetermined and
certain income to accrue thereon without consideration of any reinvestment
thereof, be sufficient to pay when due the principal of (and premium, if any),
and interest to Stated Maturity (or redemption) on, the Securities of such
series, and (b) the Company has paid all other sums payable with respect to the
Securities of such series. Upon such discharge, the Holders of the Securities of
such series shall no longer be entitled to the benefits of the Indenture, except
for the purposes of registration of transfer and exchange of the Securities of
such series, and replacement of lost, stolen or mutilated Securities, and shall
look only to such deposited funds or obligations for payment. (Section 12.1. and
12.3.)
    
 
     Under federal income tax law as of the date of this Prospectus, such
deposit and discharge may be treated as an exchange of the related Securities.
As a consequence, each Holder of such Securities might be required to recognize
gain or loss equal to the difference between the Holder's cost or other tax
basis for the Securities and the value of the Holder's interest in the trust.
Such Holders thereafter might be required to include in income a different
amount than would be includable in the absence of the discharge. Prospective
investors are urged to consult their own tax advisers as to the specific
consequences of such a deposit and discharge, including the applicability and
effect of tax laws other than the federal income tax law.
 
CONCERNING THE TRUSTEE
 
   
     Business and other relationships (including other trusteeships) between the
Company and its subsidiaries and each Trustee under any Indenture pursuant to
which any of the Debt Securities to which the Prospectus Supplement accompanying
this Prospectus relates are described in such Prospectus Supplement.
    
 
                            DESCRIPTION OF WARRANTS
 
   
     The following statements with respect to the Warrants are summaries of, and
subject to, the detailed provisions of one or more separate Warrant Agreements
(each a "Warrant Agreement"), in each case between the Company and a banking
institution organized under the laws of the Unites States of America or any
State thereof, as Warrant Agent (each a "Warrant Agent"), a form of which is
filed as an exhibit to the Registration Statement.
    
 
GENERAL
 
     The Warrants, whether evidenced by Warrant Certificates (the "Warrant
Certificates") or not so evidenced, may be issued under a Warrant Agreement
independently or together with any Debt Securities offered by any Prospectus
Supplement and may be attached to or separate from such Debt Securities. If
Warrants are offered, the Prospectus Supplement will describe the terms of the
Warrants, including the following: (i) the offering price, if any; (ii) the
designation, aggregate principal amount, and terms of the Securities purchasable
upon exercise of the Warrants; (iii) if applicable, the designation and terms of
the Debt Securities with which the Warrants are issued and the number of
Warrants issued with each such Debt Security; (iv) if applicable, the date on
and after which the Warrants and the related Debt Securities will
 
                                        8
<PAGE>   11
 
be separately transferable; (v) the principal amount of Debt Securities
purchasable upon exercise of one Warrant and the price at which such principal
amount of Debt Securities may be purchased upon such exercise; (vi) the date on
which the right to exercise the Warrants shall commence and the date on which
such right shall expire; (vii) federal income tax consequences; (viii) whether
the Warrants represented by the Warrant Certificates will be issued in
registered or bearer form; (ix) whether the Warrants will be issued in
certificated or uncertificated form; and (x) any other terms of the Warrants.
 
     Warrant Certificates, if any, may be exchanged for new Warrant Certificates
of different denominations and may (if in registered form) be presented for
registration of transfer at the corporate trust office of the Warrant Agent or
any Co-Warrant Agent, which will be listed in the Prospectus Supplement, or at
such other office as may be set forth therein. Warrantholders do not have any of
the rights of holders of Debt Securities (except to the extent that the consent
of Warrantholders may be required for certain modifications of the terms of the
Indenture and the series of Debt Securities issuable upon exercise of the
Warrants) and are not entitled to payments of principal, premium, if any, or
interest, if any, on such Debt Securities.
 
EXERCISE OF WARRANTS
 
     Warrants may be exercised by surrendering the Warrant Certificate, if any,
at the corporate trust office of the Warrant Agent or at the corporate trust
office of the Co-Warrant Agent, if any, with the form of election to purchase on
the reverse side of the Warrant Certificate, if any, properly completed and
executed, and by payment in full of the exercise price, as set forth in the
Prospectus Supplement. Upon exercise of Warrants, the Warrant Agent or
Co-Warrant Agent, if any, will, as soon as practicable, deliver the Debt
Securities in authorized denominations in accordance with the instructions of
the exercising Warrantholder and at the sole cost and risk of such holder. If
less than all of the Warrants evidenced by the Warrant Certificate, if any, are
exercised, a new Warrant Certificate will be issued, if sufficient time exists
prior to the expiration of the exercise period, for the remaining amount of
Warrants.
 
                              PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
 
   
     The Company may sell the Securities (i) through underwriters or dealers;
(ii) directly to one or more purchasers; or (iii) through agents. The Prospectus
Supplement with respect to the Securities being offered thereby sets forth the
terms of the offering of such Securities, including the name or names of any
underwriters, the purchase price of such Securities and the proceeds to the
Company from such sale, any underwriting discounts and other items constituting
underwriters' compensation, any initial public offering price, any discounts or
concessions allowed or reallowed or paid to dealers, and any securities exchange
on which such Securities may be listed. Only underwriters so named in the
Prospectus Supplement are deemed to be underwriters in connection with the
Securities offered thereby.
    
 
     If underwriters are used in the sale, the Securities will be acquired by
the underwriters for their own account and may be resold from time to time in
one or more transactions, including negotiated transactions, at a fixed public
offering price or at varying prices determined at the time of sale. The
obligations of the underwriters to purchase such Securities will be subject to
certain conditions precedent, and the underwriters will be obligated to purchase
all the Securities of the series offered by the Prospectus Supplement if any of
such Securities are purchased. Any initial public offering price and any
discounts or concessions allowed or reallowed or paid to dealers may be changed
from time to time.
 
   
     Securities may also be sold directly by the Company or through agents
designated by the Company from time to time. Any agent involved in the offering
and sale of the Securities in respect of which this Prospectus is delivered is
named, and any commissions payable by the Company to such agent are set forth,
in the Prospectus Supplement. Unless otherwise indicated in the Prospectus
Supplement, any such agent is acting on a best efforts basis for the period of
its appointment.
    
 
   
     As one of the means of direct issuance of the Securities, the Company may
utilize the services of another entity to conduct an electronic "Dutch Auction"
of the Securities among potential purchasers who are eligible to participate in
the auction of such Securities, as described in the Prospectus Supplement.
    
 
                                        9
<PAGE>   12
 
   
     If so indicated in the Prospectus Supplement, the Company will authorize
agents, underwriters or dealers to solicit offers by certain institutional
investors to purchase Securities providing for payment and delivery on a future
date specified in the Prospectus Supplement. There may be limitations on the
minimum amount which may be purchased by any such institutional investor or on
the portion of the aggregate principal amount of the particular Securities which
may be sold pursuant to such arrangements. Institutional investors to which such
offers may be made, when authorized, include commercial and savings banks,
insurance companies, pension funds, investment companies, education and
charitable institutions and such other institutions as may be approved by the
Company. The obligations of any such purchasers pursuant to such delayed
delivery and payment arrangements will not be subject to any conditions except
(i) the purchase by an institution of the particular Securities shall not at any
time of delivery be prohibited under the laws of any jurisdiction in the United
States to which such institution is subject, and (ii) if the particular
Securities are being sold to underwriters, the Company shall have sold to such
underwriters the total principal amount of such Securities less the principal
amount thereof covered by such arrangements. Underwriters will not have any
responsibility in respect of the validity of such arrangements or the
performance of the Company or such institutional investors thereunder.
    
 
   
     Underwriters, dealers and agents that participate in the distribution of
Securities may be deemed to be underwriters, and any discounts or commissions
received by them from the Company and any profit on the resale of Securities by
them may be deemed to be underwriting discounts and commissions, under the
Securities Act of 1933 (the "Act"). Under agreements which may be entered into
by the Company, underwriters, dealers and agents who participate in the
distribution of Securities may be entitled to indemnification by the Company
against certain civil liabilities, including liabilities under the Act, or to
contribution with respect to payments which the underwriters, dealers or agents
may be required to make with respect thereof. Underwriters, dealers and agents
may engage in transactions with, or perform services for, the Company or its
subsidiaries in the ordinary course of their respective businesses.
    
 
                                 LEGAL OPINIONS
 
   
     The legality of the Securities offered hereby will be passed upon for the
Company by Vincent A. Maffeo, Esq., its Senior Vice President and General
Counsel, or such other attorney of the Company as the Company may designate, and
for the Underwriters by Cravath, Swaine & Moore, Worldwide Plaza, 825 Eighth
Avenue, New York, NY. Mr. Maffeo has an interest in certain securities of the
Company. Cravath, Swaine & Moore acts from time to time as legal counsel to the
Company on various matters including the Distribution.

                     INFORMATION NOT REQUIRED IN PROSPECTUS
 
   
ITEM 15. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS.
    
 
   
     Section 23-1-37-8 and Section 23-1-37-13 of the Indiana Business
Corporation Law ("IBCL") provide that the Registrant may indemnify any
individual made a party to a proceeding (including a proceeding by or in the
right of the Registrant) because the individual is or was a director, officer,
employee or agent of the Registrant against liability incurred in the proceeding
if the individual acted in good faith and reasonably believed (i) in the case of
conduct in the individual's official capacity with the Registrant, that the
individual's conduct was in the Registrant's best interests and (ii) in all
other cases, that the individual's conduct was at least not opposed to the
Registrant's best interests. In the case of any criminal proceeding, the
individual must have had either reasonable cause to believe the conduct was
lawful or no reasonable cause to believe that it was unlawful. The Registrant's
By-laws provide for the above indemnification of directors and officers.
Reference is made to the Registrant's By-laws filed with the Registrant's Form
8-B dated December 20, 1995. In addition, Section 23-1-37-9 and Section
23-1-37-13 provide that the Registrant, unless limited by its articles of
incorporation, must indemnify a director or officer who was wholly successful in
the defense of any proceeding to which the director or officer was a party
because the director or officer is or was a director or officer of the
Registrant against reasonable expenses incurred by the director or officer in
connection with the proceeding. Registrant's Articles of Incorporation do not
limit the indemnification provided by the IBCL. Reference is made to
Registrant's Articles of Incorporation filed with Registrant's Form 8-B dated
December 20, 1995.
    
 
   
     The Registrant also has provided liability insurance for the directors and
officers for certain losses arising from claims or charges made against them
while acting in their capacities as directors or officers and has entered into,
or expects to enter into, an indemnification agreement with each of its
directors. Under its form of indemnification agreement, the Registrant agrees to
indemnify its directors against all expenses, liabilities or losses incurred by
the directors in their capacity as such: (i) to the fullest extent permitted by
applicable law; (ii) as provided in the By-laws of the Registrant as in effect
on the date of such agreement; and (iii) in the event the Registrant does not
maintain the aforementioned insurance or comparable coverage, to the full extent
provided in the applicable policies as in effect on the date of such agreement
(the Registrant's obligations described in (ii) and (iii) being subject to
certain exceptions).
    
 
   
     Any underwriters, dealers or agents who execute any of the underwriting,
selling or other distribution agreements referred to in Exhibit 1 to this
Registration Statement will agree to indemnify the Registrant's directors and
its officers who signed the Registration Statement against certain liabilities
which might arise under the Act from information furnished to the Registrant by
or on behalf of any such indemnifying party.

                POST-EFFECTIVE AMENDMENT NO. 1 TO REGISTRATION
                STATEMENT NO. 33-45756
 
Dear Sirs:
 
     This opinion is being furnished in connection with the proposed offering by
ITT Industries, Inc., an Indiana corporation and the successor by merger to ITT
Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the "Company") of Debt Securities (the
"Debt Securities") and Warrants (the "Warrants") to purchase such Debt
Securities (collectively, the "Securities"), the Debt Securities to be issued
under one or more indentures (the "Indenture") between the Company and one or
more Trustees and the Warrants to be issued under one or more Warrant Agreements
(the "Warrant Agreement") between the Company and one or more Warrant Agents,
and in connection with the registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended, of the Securities under the Registration Statement on Form S-3
captioned above (the "Registration Statement").
 
     I have examined originals or copies, certified or otherwise identified to
my satisfaction, of such documents, corporate records, certificates of public
officials and other instruments as I have deemed necessary for the purpose of
this opinion.
 
     Upon the basis of the foregoing, I am of the opinion that, when the
Indenture and the Warrant Agreement shall have been executed and delivered, (i)
the Debt Securities, when duly executed, authenticated and delivered and (ii)
the Warrants, when duly executed, countersigned and delivered, against payment
therefor in accordance with the terms of the underwriting agreement or other
sale agreement relating thereto, and pursuant to the provisions of the Indenture
and Warrant Agreement, respectively, will be valid and binding obligations of
the Company.
 
     I hereby consent to the filing or incorporation of this opinion as Exhibit
5 to the Registration Statement and to the reference to me under "Legal
Opinions" therein.
 
                                          Very truly yours,
 

                                          VINCENT A. MAFFEO
                                          Senior Vice President
                                          and General Council
