Technical Specifications

This 1-1/2" trade size condulet features malleable iron construction with T-shape configuration measuring 9 inches in length, 3.5 inches in height, and 2.6 inches in width. The unit weighs 3.68 pounds, reflecting its robust construction. The Form 5 design includes a threaded cover for secure access, and the condulet is rated for ordinary/non-hazardous locations per NEC/CEC standards. All openings are threaded to accept 1-1/2" rigid or IMC conduit connections.

Installation Process

1. Plan conduit routing to determine optimal T-body placement for branch connections
2. Thread rigid or IMC conduit into the three openings, ensuring proper alignment
3. Apply appropriate thread sealant to maintain moisture protection
4. Secure conduit connections with proper torque to prevent loosening
5. Remove threaded cover to access interior for wire pulling operations
6. Install conductors through conduit system and make necessary connections inside condulet
7. Replace and tighten cover to complete installation and maintain protection rating

Applications

Perfect for:

• Industrial Facilities - Manufacturing plants, processing facilities, and heavy equipment installations
• Commercial Buildings - Office complexes, retail centers, and institutional facilities
• Motor Control Centers - Branch connections to individual motor starters and control panels
