Technical Specifications
This Form 7 wedge nut cover is engineered for 1/2" trade size condulet applications with sheet steel construction for optimal durability. The integral gasket design eliminates separate sealing components while providing reliable weather protection. Dimensions of 3.63" height x 1.31" depth x 0.67" width ensure proper fit with standard Form 7 condulet bodies. The cover meets NEC/CEC compliance standards for ordinary/non-hazardous locations and is suitable for both indoor and outdoor electrical installations where weather sealing is critical.
Installation Process
- De-energize the circuit and verify power is off using appropriate testing equipment
- Remove the existing cover by loosening the wedge nut mechanism with appropriate tools
- Clean the condulet body sealing surface to remove any debris or old gasket material
- Position the new cover with integral gasket aligned properly on the condulet body
- Insert and hand-tighten the wedge nut to ensure proper gasket compression
- Verify the cover is securely fastened and the integral gasket provides complete sealing around the perimeter
Applications
Perfect for:
- Commercial Buildings - Office complexes, retail centers, and institutional facilities requiring reliable condulet protection
- Industrial Facilities - Manufacturing plants, processing facilities, and warehouses with demanding environmental conditions
- Outdoor Installations - Weather-exposed condulet systems requiring superior moisture protection
- Maintenance Applications - Replacement covers for aging or damaged condulet systems
- Municipal Infrastructure - Schools, government buildings, and public facilities with long-term reliability requirements
- Agricultural Systems - Farm buildings and processing facilities where dust and moisture protection is essential
- Equipment Connections - Motor control centers and electrical panels requiring secure junction protection
- Wet Location Systems - Areas subject to water exposure where integral gasket sealing is critical
Condulet Cover System Benefits
Form 7 wedge nut covers provide superior access and sealing compared to threaded covers, allowing for quick maintenance while maintaining weather protection. The wedge nut mechanism distributes clamping force evenly around the gasket perimeter, creating a more reliable seal than bolt-down designs. This system is particularly valuable in applications requiring frequent access for wire pulling or connection maintenance, as the cover can be removed and reinstalled quickly without threading operations.
Why Choose Integral Gasket Design?
The integral gasket eliminates the most common failure point in condulet systems - separate gasket deterioration and displacement. By molding the sealing element directly into the cover, Eaton Crouse-Hinds ensures consistent gasket positioning and eliminates the risk of installation without proper sealing. This design approach reduces long-term maintenance costs and provides superior weather protection throughout the system's service life, making it the preferred choice for electrical professionals who demand reliable performance.
