• Municipal Infrastructure - Schools, government buildings, and public facility electrical systems
• Maintenance Access - Long conduit runs requiring intermediate wire pulling points
• System Expansion - Future-proofing electrical installations for additional circuits

Condulet System Benefits

Condulet outlet bodies provide superior functionality compared to standard conduit fittings by offering removable access covers for wire pulling and maintenance. The Form 5 design ensures maximum internal space for wire management while maintaining compact external dimensions. This LR configuration specifically addresses left-right routing challenges common in commercial and industrial installations where conduit must navigate around structural elements or equipment.

Why Choose Malleable Iron Construction?

Malleable iron offers significant advantages over standard steel construction, providing superior impact resistance, dimensional stability, and long-term durability. This material choice ensures the outlet body maintains structural integrity under mechanical stress while resisting deformation from temperature cycling. The precision casting process delivers consistent threading and smooth internal surfaces that facilitate wire pulling and reduce installation time for electrical contractors.
