Technical Specifications

This 3-inch trade size condulet features copper-free aluminum construction with C-shape configuration for 90-degree conductor routing. The outlet body measures 13.8 inches in length, 4.66 inches in height, and 4.65 inches in width, with a total weight of 6 pounds. Designed for rigid and IMC conduit systems in ordinary/non-hazardous locations, this Series 5 condulet meets NEC/CEC compliance standards for professional electrical installations.

Installation Process

1. Verify conduit alignment and measure required conductor routing path
2. Thread rigid or IMC conduit into condulet hubs using appropriate thread compound
3. Ensure proper grounding continuity through conduit system connections
4. Install cover plate securely before conducting wire pulling operations
5. Route conductors through C-shape path, maintaining proper bend radius requirements
6. Complete connections and verify all joints are properly tightened to manufacturer specifications

Applications

Perfect for:

• Commercial Buildings - Office complexes, retail centers, and healthcare facilities requiring reliable conduit routing
• Industrial Facilities - Manufacturing plants, processing centers, and distribution warehouses
• Municipal Infrastructure - Schools, government buildings, and public facilities
• Equipment Connections - Motor control centers, switchgear, and electrical distribution panels
• Conduit Direction Changes - 90-degree routing applications in rigid and IMC conduit systems
• Junction Points - Conductor splicing and connection access in conduit runs
• Maintenance Access - Locations requiring periodic conductor inspection or modification
• Heavy-Duty Applications - High-stress installations requiring superior material strength

Condulet System Benefits

Condulet outlet bodies provide superior access and flexibility compared to standard conduit elbows and tees. The removable cover design allows for easy conductor installation, inspection, and maintenance without disturbing the entire conduit run. This C-shape configuration is ideal for 90-degree direction changes while providing a convenient splice point for conductor connections.

Why Choose Copper-Free Aluminum?

Copper-free aluminum construction delivers the perfect balance of strength, corrosion resistance, and weight savings for professional electrical installations. This material choice eliminates galvanic corrosion concerns while providing excellent durability in ordinary locations. The lightweight properties reduce installation fatigue and shipping costs while maintaining the structural integrity required for heavy-duty conduit systems.
