Red Dot MALB-5 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What size conduit does the Red Dot MALB-5 pulling elbow take?
The MALB-5 is a 1-1/2 inch mogul pulling elbow, so it threads onto 1-1/2 inch rigid metal conduit or IMC. It is made for rigid/IMC runs, not EMT, and it is not a reducing fitting, so both openings are 1-1/2 inch.
2) Why pick a mogul pulling elbow instead of a factory conduit sweep?
A sweep keeps the bend radius continuous and is the better choice when conductors have to be pulled through the bend. The MALB-5 pulling elbow is the choice when you need a tight 90 at a wall or slab penetration and want an access opening to pull the wire into the elbow and then out the other leg. Mogul means the deeper body style, which gives more room for larger conductors on a 1-1/2 inch run.
3) Can I use a mogul pulling elbow as a conductor splice point?
No. A pulling elbow like the MALB-5 is for changing direction and pulling conductors through a run, not for splicing. Conductors pass through it and the cover goes back on. If you need to splice or tap, use a conduit body or box rated for splices instead.
4) Is the Red Dot MALB-5 suitable for outdoor or wet-location conduit runs?
The body is aluminum die cast, which is what Red Dot uses on its outdoor-rated conduit fittings, so corrosion resistance is good on exterior rigid or IMC runs. Keep the threads properly made up and the cover gasketed to maintain the seal.
5) Will an aluminum pulling elbow work on galvanized rigid conduit?
Yes, the threads are standard rigid/IMC, so the die cast aluminum MALB-5 will thread onto galvanized rigid steel conduit. Where dissimilar metals are a concern in corrosive or buried environments, specifiers often stay with one metal throughout the run or use a compound on the threads.
6) What exact part number do I order for a Red Dot 1-1/2 inch mogul pulling elbow?
Order Red Dot MALB-5. That is the manufacturer part number and the only configuration of this elbow, so there is no finish or size option to specify.
