Thomas & Betts ELL245SS – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What size and angle is the Thomas & Betts ELL245SS conduit elbow?
The ELL245SS is a 2 inch, 45 degree rigid conduit elbow made of 304 stainless steel. It is a factory elbow for rigid metal conduit runs where you need to change direction by 45 degrees without field bending.
2) Will a 304 stainless conduit elbow hold up in a washdown or food processing area?
304 stainless is the standard corrosion resistant choice for wet, washdown, and food or beverage processing environments where galvanized rigid conduit would rust at the threads. The ELL245SS is built entirely from 304 stainless steel, so the elbow matches stainless conduit and fittings used in those areas rather than becoming the weak link in the run.
3) Can I thread this elbow onto standard 2 inch rigid conduit?
Yes. The ELL245SS is a threaded rigid conduit elbow sized for 2 inch trade size rigid metal conduit, which uses NPT style tapered conduit threads. It mates with 2 inch RMC and with couplings or fittings prepped for the same trade size.
4) Should I use a 45 degree elbow or a 90 for my conduit offset?
Use a pair of 45 degree elbows like the ELL245SS when you need an offset or a gradual direction change around an obstruction, and a 90 when you are turning a full right angle at a wall or box. Two 45s count as one 90 toward the 360 degrees of bend allowed between pull points, so offsetting with 45s keeps more bend allowance for the rest of the run than stacking 90s.
5) Do I need to order a coupling separately with the ELL245SS elbow?
Plan on it. The ELL245SS is the elbow alone, a 2 inch 45 degree stainless rigid elbow. Joining it into a run takes threaded couplings or unions in the same 2 inch trade size, and for a stainless installation those should be 304 stainless as well so you do not mix metals at the joints.
6) Can I use this stainless elbow with IMC instead of rigid conduit?
The ELL245SS is catalogued as a fitting for both rigid and intermediate metal conduit, so it threads onto 2 inch IMC the same way it does onto 2 inch RMC. Both use the same trade sizes and thread form.
