Thomas & Betts CHEL196SA – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What is the Thomas & Betts CHEL196SA elbow used for?
The CHEL196SA is a 1/2 inch 90 degree conduit elbow with one male end and one female end, used to turn a rigid or intermediate metal conduit run a square corner without bending pipe in the field. Because one end is already threaded male, it threads straight into a female fitting or enclosure hub, and the female end takes the next threaded conduit length.
2) Will the CHEL196SA work with 1/2 inch IMC as well as rigid conduit?
Yes. The CHEL196SA is catalogued as a rigid and intermediate metal conduit fitting, so 1/2 inch threaded RMC and 1/2 inch IMC both mate with it. Both use the same NPT-style conduit threads at a given trade size, so the female end accepts either. It will not work with EMT, which is unthreaded and needs a set-screw or compression fitting instead.
3) Do I need a coupling to install a 1/2 inch male-female 90 degree elbow?
No coupling is needed at the male end of the CHEL196SA. The male-female configuration lets it thread directly into a box hub, an LB, or a female fitting on one side, and receive a threaded conduit end on the other. Compare that with a female-female elbow, which needs a nipple or coupling to land on a hub. If both of your conduit ends are male, order the female-female version instead of this one.
4) How many Thomas & Betts CHEL196SA elbows come in a box?
They pack 10 pieces to a carton, in a box measuring 7.5 x 6.9 x 4.1 inches (191 x 175 x 104 mm). That matters if you are ordering by the case for a multi-unit or MRO stock room rather than buying singles for one pull.
