Cantex 5133568 2" PVC T-Body Condulet Conduit Fitting
The Cantex 5133568 is a 2" PVC T-shaped condulet conduit body designed to provide access points within rigid non-metallic conduit runs for pulling, splicing, and routing conductors. Molded from durable PVC, this T-body fitting integrates into 2" trade size conduit systems and offers a corrosion-resistant alternative to metallic condulet bodies commonly used in wet, corrosive, or chemically exposed environments. The T-configuration allows conductors to enter and exit from three directions, making it a practical choice for branching or redirecting conduit runs without splicing conductors mid-span. As a PVC product, it is well suited to installations where non-metallic conduit systems are specified for corrosion resistance and ease of installation.
Key Features
- Trade Size: 2" sizing for compatibility with standard 2" PVC conduit runs.
- Durable Construction: Molded PVC material provides corrosion and chemical resistance for long service life in demanding environments.
- T-Body Configuration: Three-way access design supports pulling, splicing, and directional changes within a conduit run.
- Lightweight Design: PVC construction is lighter than metallic condulet bodies, easing handling and installation.
- Non-Metallic System Compatibility: Designed to integrate seamlessly with PVC conduit and fitting systems.

Cantex 5133565 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What trade sizes does the Cantex PVC Type T conduit body come in?
Two trade sizes: 1 inch (Cantex 5133565) and 2 inch (Cantex 5133568). Match the trade size to the PVC conduit run it is going into, since the hubs are sized for that trade size and nothing else.
2) Can I use a PVC T-body instead of a metal condulet in a corrosive or wet area?
That is exactly what it is for. The Cantex T-body is molded PVC, so it resists corrosion and chemical attack where a metallic condulet would pit or rust, and it is lighter to handle on a ladder. It is used in wet and damp location conduit runs and in commercial and industrial installs where non-metallic raceway is specified.
3) I need a conduit body for EMT, not PVC. Is this the right one?
No. The Cantex T-body is PVC for rigid non-metallic conduit only. For EMT, the Crouse-Hinds C15MTC-6 is a combination EMT Condulet outlet body from the Condulet Series 5 line.
4) What is the difference between the Cantex PVC T-body conduit body and the Crouse-Hinds C15MTC-6 Condulet?
They differ in body shape and material. The Cantex 5133568 is a PVC T-body, giving three-way access for pulling, splicing, or redirecting conductors in non-metallic conduit runs, and is offered in 1 inch and 2 inch trade sizes. The Crouse-Hinds C15MTC-6 is a Type C outlet body from the Condulet Series 5 line, built as a combination EMT fitting - a Type C is a straight-through inline access body with a single opening, so it does not branch a run. Choose the T-body where a conduit run splits three ways and a PVC system is specified; choose the Type C where you only need a pull point in a straight EMT run.
5) What is the difference between a Type T and a Type C conduit body?
A Type C is a straight inline body with two openings, used purely as a pull point in a run that keeps going the same direction. The Cantex Type T has three openings, so it also lets you branch a run or turn conductors off in a second direction. If you only need the inline pull, a C body like the Crouse-Hinds C15MTC-6 Condulet Type C outlet body does the job in a smaller footprint.
6) For a corrosive or wet outdoor conduit run, should I specify the Cantex PVC T-body or a metallic Condulet?
The Cantex T-body is molded PVC and is intended as a corrosion-resistant alternative to metallic condulet bodies in wet, corrosive, or chemically exposed environments; it is also lighter to handle than a metallic body. A metallic option such as the Crouse-Hinds C15MTC-6 Condulet Series 5 Type C is an EMT combination body, so it suits dry interior EMT raceways where a metal raceway is specified. Material compatibility with the rest of the run usually decides it: PVC conduit runs take the PVC body.
7) Do I need a cover and gasket with the Cantex T-body, or is it included?
The T-body itself is the fitting; what ships is the molded PVC body with its three openings. Plan on specifying the matching cover and gasket for the opening separately so the enclosure can be closed up after the pull or splice.
