Technical Specifications

This 3/4" trade size GUA condulet features a B-shape configuration with Feraloy iron alloy construction, providing Class I, Division 1 hazardous location protection with NEMA 3 weather resistance. The unit measures 4.38" in height, 3.5" in depth, and 2" in width, with a 3" diameter cover opening for convenient access. Weighing 3.05 pounds, this heavy-duty condulet is designed for rigid conduit systems and complies with NEC/CEC standards for hazardous location electrical installations.

Installation Process

1. Verify hazardous area classification matches Class I, Division 1 rating requirements
2. Thread 3/4" rigid conduit into condulet hub using appropriate thread compound
3. Ensure all threaded connections achieve minimum 5 full threads for proper engagement
4. Install conduit system with proper support spacing per NEC/CEC requirements
5. Pull conductors through system before making final connections
6. Make all electrical connections within the condulet using approved methods
7. Install cover with gasket to maintain weather-tight seal
8. Test installation for proper grounding continuity and explosion-proof integrity

Applications

Perfect for:

• Petrochemical Facilities - Refineries, chemical processing plants, and storage terminals
• Oil and Gas Operations - Drilling platforms, pump stations, and pipeline facilities
• Paint and Coating Operations - Spray booths, mixing rooms, and finishing areas
• Grain Handling Facilities - Elevators, mills, and processing equipment areas
• Aircraft Hangars - Maintenance areas and fuel handling zones
• Pharmaceutical Manufacturing - Solvent handling and processing areas
• Marine Applications - Ship electrical systems and offshore platforms
• Industrial Equipment Connections - Motor control centers and hazardous area instrumentation

Condulet System Benefits

Condulets provide superior flexibility compared to standard junction boxes in hazardous locations, allowing conduit direction changes without the need for multiple fittings. The B-shape configuration is ideal for 90-degree turns and equipment connections, while the removable cover design facilitates easy maintenance access. This modular approach reduces installation time and provides better long-term serviceability than welded or permanently sealed alternatives.
