Thomas & Betts X27SA – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Is the X27SA conduit body aluminum or steel, and can I use it with aluminum rigid conduit?
It is sand cast aluminum, which is the usual match for aluminum rigid conduit and avoids the dissimilar-metal pairing you get when you thread aluminum conduit into a ferrous body. It will also thread onto steel rigid or IMC, since the thread form is the same, but where corrosion or galvanic contact is a concern on a steel run, a malleable iron or zinc body is the closer material match.
2) Will an aluminum conduit body like the X27SA hold up outdoors or in a wet location?
Aluminum bodies are common outdoors because they do not rust, and sand cast aluminum handles exposed weather better than plain steel. What makes the installation wet-location rated is the cover and gasket you pair with it, so plan on a gasketed cover for any outdoor or washdown run. Avoid aluminum in direct contact with concrete, masonry lime, or in areas with heavy chloride exposure, where a PVC-coated or non-metallic body is the better call.
3) Does the X27SA come with a cover and gasket?
Order the cover separately. The X27SA is the 3/4 inch aluminum Type X body itself; conduit bodies of this style are supplied as the casting, and the cover, gasket and cover screws are ordered to suit the location. Match the cover to the same body size (3/4 inch) and form so the screw holes line up.
4) How do I order the exact Thomas & Betts cross conduit body I need without getting the wrong one?
Call it out by the manufacturer part number. This one is Thomas & Betts X27SA, a 3/4 inch sand cast aluminum Type X body, form 7. The X prefix is the four-way body and the number sets the trade size, so quoting the full MPN avoids ending up with a T or LB in the same size.
5) What does the FM7 in the Thomas & Betts X27SA description mean?
FM7 is the form designation on this 3/4 inch aluminum Type X body. Form matters when you are buying a cover: covers are specified to the body form and size, so a cover for one form will not necessarily seat on another. Keep the form and the 3/4 inch size together when you order accessories for it.
