Technical Specifications

This Condulet outlet body features 1-1/4" trade size threading compatible with rigid, IMC, and EMT conduit systems. The malleable iron construction provides superior strength compared to steel alternatives, while the T-shape configuration enables three-way conduit connections. Measuring 9" in length, 2.6" in width, and 2.75" in height, this outlet body weighs 3.32 pounds, reflecting its robust construction. The Form 5 design provides adequate internal volume for wire connections and splices in accordance with NEC/CEC fill requirements.

Installation Process

1. Plan conduit routing to position the T-body at the desired three-way connection point
2. Thread conduit connections hand-tight into the three openings of the T-body
3. Tighten connections using appropriate wrenches, ensuring proper alignment and seal
4. Install conduit system and verify all connections are secure before wire pulling
5. Remove cover plate and pull wires through the conduit system using the outlet body as access point
6. Make necessary wire connections or splices within the outlet body volume
7. Replace cover plate with proper gasket to maintain environmental protection

Applications

Perfect for:

• Commercial Buildings - Office complexes, retail centers, hospitals, and educational facilities
• Industrial Facilities - Manufacturing plants, processing facilities, and heavy industrial installations
• Equipment Connections - Motor control centers, switchgear, and electrical distribution panels
• Conduit Direction Changes - Three-way routing for complex electrical system layouts
• Wire Pulling Access - Strategic access points in long conduit runs for wire installation
• Junction Points - Electrical connections and splices in conduit systems
• Municipal Infrastructure - Government buildings, schools, and public facilities
• Maintenance Access - Service points for ongoing electrical system maintenance

Condulet Outlet Body System Benefits

Condulet outlet bodies provide superior functionality compared to standard conduit fittings by offering wire pulling access, junction capabilities, and direction changes in a single component. The removable cover design enables easy wire installation and future system modifications without dismantling the entire conduit run. This reduces installation time and provides long-term maintenance advantages for electrical contractors and facility managers.

Why Choose Malleable Iron Construction?

Malleable iron offers exceptional strength and durability advantages over standard steel construction, providing superior impact resistance and dimensional stability under mechanical stress. The precision casting process creates smooth interior surfaces that protect wire insulation during pulling operations while ensuring consistent wall thickness for maximum strength. This premium material choice reflects Eaton Crouse-Hinds' commitment to professional-grade electrical components that deliver decades of reliable service in demanding applications.
