Thomas & Betts GYF-3 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What conduit size does the Thomas & Betts GYF-3 capped elbow take?
The GYF-3 is a 1 inch fitting, so it lands on 1 inch rigid or IMC runs. Both openings are female threaded (F/F), meaning the conduit threads into the elbow at each end rather than the elbow threading into a hub.
2) What does the XP designation on the Thomas & Betts GYF-3 mean for a hazardous location job?
XP is the explosionproof designation carried in the Thomas & Betts GYF-3 part description, which is why the body is a heavy threaded aluminum casting with a bolted cover rather than a light sheet-steel pull box. Threaded joints are what make the assembly work, so every conduit entry has to be made up wrench tight into the female threads. Confirm the specific class, division and group markings on the casting against your area classification before installing.
3) Can I pull wire through a capped elbow like the GYF-3, or is it just a 90 degree bend?
It is a pulling elbow, not a plain 90. The removable cover gives you access at the corner so you can feed and pull conductors through a tight change of direction instead of fighting a sweep. Once the pull is done the cover goes back on and the run is closed up.
4) Is the GYF-3 elbow aluminum or malleable iron?
Aluminum. That matters on two counts: it keeps the weight down on overhead 1 inch runs, and it is the body material you generally want to avoid in contact with dissimilar metals or in environments where aluminum is not permitted by the job spec. If the drawing calls specifically for iron or steel bodies, this is not the fitting.
5) Will a 1 inch female/female capped elbow thread onto a conduit hub or a nipple?
Only onto male threads. Both ends of the GYF-3 are female, so it accepts threaded rigid or IMC conduit ends or a 1 inch threaded nipple. If what you have at the connection point is a female hub on a box or enclosure, you need a short nipple between the two, not the elbow directly.
