Technical Specifications

This 2" trade size C-shape condulet measures 10.71 inches in length, 3.1 inches in width, and 3.41 inches in height, with a total weight of 2.7 pounds. The copper-free aluminum construction provides superior corrosion resistance compared to standard aluminum alloys while maintaining the lightweight advantages that reduce installation fatigue. The Series 5 design incorporates heavy-duty wall thickness and reinforced hub connections for maximum durability in commercial and industrial applications. Compatible with rigid steel conduit and intermediate metal conduit (IMC) systems using standard threaded connections.

Installation Process

1. Verify conduit alignment and measure required offset distance for proper C-shape positioning
2. Thread rigid or IMC conduit into the inlet and outlet hubs using appropriate conduit threading tools
3. Apply pipe thread compound to ensure weather-tight seal and prevent galling
4. Tighten connections to manufacturer specifications without over-torquing aluminum threads
5. Remove cover plate and install conductors through the C-shape pathway
6. Replace cover with gasket properly seated to maintain environmental protection

Applications

Perfect for:

• Commercial Buildings - Office complexes, retail centers, and healthcare facilities requiring reliable conduit routing
• Industrial Facilities - Manufacturing plants, processing facilities, and warehouses with heavy electrical loads
• Equipment Connections - Motor control centers, switchgear, and electrical panel connections
• Conduit Direction Changes - 90-degree turns in rigid conduit systems where space permits access
• Wire Pulling Points - Strategic locations for conductor installation and future circuit modifications
• Maintenance Access - Junction points requiring periodic inspection or conductor replacement
• Distribution Systems - High-capacity electrical distribution requiring 2" conduit systems
• Corrosive Environments - Areas where aluminum's corrosion resistance provides long-term reliability

Condulet System Benefits

Condulet outlet bodies provide superior access and flexibility compared to standard conduit elbows or couplings. The removable cover design enables easy wire pulling, splicing access, and future circuit modifications without disturbing the entire conduit run. This accessibility reduces installation time and long-term maintenance costs while providing code-compliant junction points throughout the electrical system.

Why Choose Copper-Free Aluminum?

Copper-free aluminum construction delivers exceptional corrosion resistance while maintaining the lightweight advantages that reduce installer fatigue during overhead installations. This advanced alloy eliminates copper contamination that can accelerate corrosion in certain environments, making it ideal for long-term reliability in commercial and industrial applications. The Eaton Crouse-Hinds Series 5 design combines this superior material with heavy-duty construction trusted by electrical professionals for over 100 years.
