Red Dot ALR-5 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What conduit size and type does the Red Dot ALR-5 conduit body fit?
The ALR-5 is a 1-1/2 inch LR conduit body made for rigid metal conduit and IMC. The hubs are threaded, so it mates with threaded rigid/IMC runs, not with EMT set-screw or compression conduit. If your run is EMT, you need an EMT-style body or threaded adapters.
2) Is the Red Dot ALR-5 aluminum or steel, and can I use it outdoors or near salt air?
It is die cast aluminum. That makes it a good match for aluminum rigid conduit and it avoids the rust problems of ferrous bodies in damp or coastal work. Keep in mind the usual dissimilar-metal caution: aluminum in direct contact with galvanized steel conduit in a wet location can corrode over time, so many specs call for all-aluminum or all-steel runs.
3) Does the Red Dot ALR-5 come with a cover and gasket?
Order the ALR-5 as the body itself. Conduit bodies in the Series A line take a separate cover, and a gasket where the installation is damp or wet rated, so plan on specifying the matching 1-1/2 inch cover and gasket with the body if you need the opening closed up.
4) Can I use the Red Dot ALR-5 as a junction box to splice conductors?
A 1-1/2 inch LR body is a pull and direction-change fitting. Splices are only permitted in a conduit body that is durably marked with its volume by the manufacturer and sized for the conductors, and the body must be supported. For most 1-1/2 inch runs the ALR-5 is used to pull and turn the conductors, not to land splices.
5) What is the Red Dot part number I should order for a 1-1/2 inch aluminum LR body?
ALR-5 is the Red Dot catalog number for the 1-1/2 inch LR body in die cast aluminum. Quote that number directly; the size is baked into the suffix, so an ALR-4 or ALR-6 is a different trade size, not an option on the same part.
