Carlon PVC Type T Conduit Body, Non-Metallic Construction

The Carlon PVC Type T conduit body is a non-metallic fitting family designed to mate with PVC conduit runs, giving electrical contractors and installers a durable, corrosion-resistant option for pulling, splicing, and redirecting conductors within non-metallic raceway systems. This Type T conduit body line is available in trade sizes ranging from 3/4 Inch to 1-1/2 Inch, with pack quantities suited to each size, so contractors can match the right fitting to the job whether stocking smaller jobs or larger commercial runs. Built from PVC, these conduit bodies resist rust, chemical exposure, and moisture intrusion far better than metallic alternatives, making them a reliable choice for outdoor, industrial, and below-grade installations that rely on PVC conduit systems.

Key Features

  • Trade Size Range: Available from 3/4 Inch through 1-1/2 Inch to mate directly with corresponding PVC conduit runs.
  • Durable Construction: Molded from PVC for excellent corrosion, chemical, and moisture resistance compared to metallic conduit bodies.
  • Type T Configuration: Type T body style allows straight-through and lateral access for pulling and splicing conductors at tee junctions in the raceway run.
  • Interior Wiring Capacity: Each trade size provides an interior volume sized to support adequate conductor fill for that size, in accordance with the applicable trade size.
  • Non-Metallic Design: Lightweight PVC construction simplifies handling and installation versus heavier metallic conduit bodies.
  • Multi-Pack Options: Offered in pack quantities matched to trade size, supplying multiple fittings for larger jobs or maintaining job-site stock.
  • Manufacturer Cross-Reference: Also referenced under the corresponding Betts designation for the same Carlon® PVC Type T conduit body line.

Carlon E983E-CAR – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What trade sizes does the Carlon PVC Type T conduit body come in?
Two trade sizes are offered: 3/4 inch, sold in a 10 pack (MPN E983E-CAR), and 1-1/2 inch, sold as a 4 pack (MPN E983H-CAR). Pick the size that matches the PVC conduit run it ties into, since the body mates directly with the corresponding trade size.
2) Can I use a PVC Type T conduit body on EMT or rigid metal conduit?
No. The Carlon Type T body is molded PVC and is built to mate with PVC (non-metallic) conduit runs. For EMT or rigid metal raceway you need a metallic conduit body with the matching threaded or set-screw connection, not this one.
3) When should I use a Type T conduit body instead of an LB or LL?
A Type T gives you straight-through plus one lateral opening, so it is the fitting for a tee junction where a branch leaves the main run, and it gives you a pull and splice point at that junction. An LB, LL or LR only turns the run in one direction; if you are just making a 90 into a building or around a corner, use one of those instead of a T.
4) Will a PVC conduit body hold up in a wet or corrosive outdoor location?
That is the main reason to specify it. PVC does not rust, and it resists chemical exposure and moisture intrusion better than a metallic body, which is why this Type T line is used for outdoor, industrial, below-grade and damp or corrosive installations.
5) Is a PVC Type T conduit body suitable for underground conduit runs?
Yes, below-grade and underground PVC conduit runs are a listed application for the Carlon Type T body, along with wet, damp and corrosive locations. The non-metallic molding is what makes it workable where buried metallic fittings would corrode.
6) Can I splice conductors inside a Type T conduit body?
Yes. The Type T body is used as a pulling and splicing access point, and each trade size has an interior volume sized to the conductor fill appropriate for that size. Keep your splice count within the fill allowed for the trade size you are installing, 3/4 inch or 1-1/2 inch.
7) Do I get a cover and gasket with the Carlon Type T conduit body, or order those separately?
The Carlon Type T body is sold as the conduit body itself, in multi-packs of 10 for the 3/4 inch and 4 for the 1-1/2 inch. Plan on a matching PVC cover and gasket in the same trade size for each body if your install needs the opening closed up.
8) Why is a non-metallic conduit body easier to install than a cast metal one?
Weight. The molded PVC body is noticeably lighter than a cast metallic conduit body of the same trade size, which matters when you are working off a ladder or hanging a run overhead, and it will not rust where it is strapped.
9) Is the Carlon E983E or E983H sold under a Betts part number too?
Yes, the same Carlon PVC Type T conduit body line is cross-referenced under the corresponding Betts designation, so if a spec sheet or an older job order lists a Betts T body in PVC, the Carlon E983E (3/4 inch) or E983H (1-1/2 inch) is the same family.
