Red Dot BLR-3 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Does the Red Dot BLR-3 conduit body work with EMT or does it need threaded rigid conduit?
The BLR-3 is built for EMT. It takes 1 inch EMT and uses the setscrew-style connection typical of Red Dot's B series EMT bodies, so you do not thread the conduit going into it. If your run is threaded rigid or IMC, this is not the fitting you want; look for a threaded conduit body in the same 1 inch trade size instead.
2) Does the BLR-3 come with a cover and gasket, or do I order those separately?
Order the cover and gasket as separate line items. The BLR-3 is the body only, the 1 inch EMT LR casting. Match the cover to the body size, so a 1 inch Series B cover, and add a gasket if the location is wet or damp. It is a common way to end up short on a job, so put covers on the order at the same count as the bodies.
3) Is the Red Dot BLR-3 aluminum or steel, and can I use it on an exterior run?
Die cast aluminum. That matters in two ways on a job: it will not rust the way a plated steel body does, so it holds up on exterior and damp locations, and it should not be run in direct contact with dissimilar metals or in areas with corrosive chemistry that attacks aluminum. If your spec calls for a steel or malleable iron body, the BLR-3 will not meet it.
4) What is the exact part number to order for a 1 inch EMT LR conduit body from Red Dot?
Red Dot part number BLR-3. The B prefix is the EMT series, LR is the configuration, and the 3 is the 1 inch trade size. If you are standardizing a building on Red Dot EMT bodies, the same series carries the other configurations in matching sizes, so the size digit stays consistent across them.
5) How many BLR-3 conduit bodies should I plan for on an EMT run, and why not just use elbows?
A conduit body gives you a pulling and splicing access point that a factory elbow does not. On long EMT runs with several direction changes, dropping in an LR at the turns means you can pull conductors in shorter sections rather than fighting a full run around blind bends. The BLR-3 covers the 1 inch right-hand turn; keep the count matched to your turns and add covers for each one.
