Technical Specifications

This 1/2" trade size condulet features copper-free aluminum construction with C-shape configuration for 90-degree conduit routing. The outlet body measures 4.82" in length, 1.31" in width, and 1.4" in height, with a lightweight 0.27 lb design. Compatible with rigid and IMC conduit systems, this Series 5 condulet meets NEC/CEC standards for ordinary/non-hazardous locations and provides reliable performance in commercial and industrial electrical installations.

Installation Process

1. Verify conduit alignment and measure required offset distance for proper C-shape positioning
2. Apply appropriate thread compound to conduit ends to ensure weatherproof seal
3. Thread first conduit section into inlet hub, ensuring full thread engagement
4. Position condulet body for desired 90-degree direction change
5. Thread second conduit section into outlet hub, maintaining proper alignment
6. Install appropriate cover plate and gasket for environmental protection
7. Verify grounding continuity through the complete conduit assembly
