Red Dot DAT-8-CG – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What conduit does the Red Dot DAT-8-CG T conduit body work with?
The DAT-8-CG is a Series A style T body for rigid and IMC conduit, so it threads onto standard rigid metal conduit or intermediate metal conduit runs. It is not intended for EMT, which uses compression or set-screw fittings rather than threaded hubs.
2) Does the Red Dot DAT-8-CG come with a cover and gasket, or do I order those separately?
It ships as a package with the cover and gasket included, so the body arrives ready to close up. No separate cover or gasket order is needed to complete the pull point.
3) Is the Red Dot DAT-8-CG T body aluminum or iron?
Die cast aluminum. That keeps the weight down on an overhead run and suits exterior and damp locations better than ferrous bodies, though for highly corrosive or coastal work many specs call for PVC-coated rigid fittings instead.
4) When should I use a T conduit body instead of an LB or LL?
A T body gives you three openings, so it is the fitting to use where a branch leaves a run or where you need a pull point with a straight-through path plus a tap. An LB, LL or LR only turns the run in one direction. The DAT-8-CG is the T configuration for threaded rigid or IMC.
5) What is the exact part number to order the Red Dot 3 inch T body with cover and gasket?
Order Red Dot part DAT-8-CG. That is the manufacturer number for the threaded Series A T body supplied with cover and gasket.
6) Can I use the Red Dot DAT-8-CG as a junction box for splices?
Conduit bodies like this T body are intended as pull and routing points, not general splice enclosures. Splices are only permitted in a conduit body when its volume is adequate and it is supported and marked for that use per NEC rules, so size your conductor fill accordingly and use a box where a splice is required.
