Technical Specifications

This 3/4" trade size C-shape condulet measures 5.5 inches in length, 1.64 inches in height, and 1.53 inches in width, with a lightweight 0.4-pound construction that reduces installer fatigue. The copper-free aluminum material provides superior corrosion resistance compared to standard steel fittings while maintaining the strength required for rigid and IMC conduit connections. The Series 5 design incorporates heavy-duty wall thickness and precision threading for secure, long-lasting installations that comply with NEC and CEC standards for ordinary location applications.

Installation Process

1. Verify conduit alignment and measure required offset distance for proper C-shape positioning
2. Thread rigid or IMC conduit into both openings, ensuring full engagement with condulet threads
3. Tighten connections using appropriate wrenches, maintaining proper conduit support spacing per code
4. Install grounding bushings if required by local electrical codes or system specifications
5. Route conductors through the C-shape path, utilizing the removable cover for easy wire access
6. Secure cover with appropriate gasket if environmental sealing is required for the application

Applications

Perfect for:

• Commercial Buildings - Office complexes, retail centers, hospitals, and educational facilities
• Industrial Facilities - Manufacturing plants, processing facilities, and warehouse distribution centers
• Equipment Connections - Motor control centers, switchgear, and electrical panel connections
• Branch Circuit Wiring - 120V and 240V circuits requiring direction changes and access points
• Control System Wiring - HVAC controls, lighting controls, and building automation systems
• Maintenance Access Points - Locations requiring periodic wire access for system modifications
• Conduit Direction Changes - 90-degree turns in rigid conduit runs with pulling access requirements
• Junction Points - Wire splicing locations in commercial and industrial electrical systems

Condulet System Benefits

Condulet outlet bodies provide superior versatility compared to standard conduit elbows by offering removable access covers for wire pulling, splicing, and system maintenance. The C-shape configuration creates a smooth 90-degree path that reduces wire pulling tension while providing convenient access points for future electrical modifications. This design eliminates the need for separate junction boxes in many applications, streamlining installation and reducing material costs.

Why Choose Copper-Free Aluminum?

Copper-free aluminum construction delivers exceptional corrosion resistance in challenging environments while maintaining the lightweight handling characteristics that reduce installer fatigue and speed installation. Unlike steel fittings that require protective coatings, aluminum naturally forms a protective oxide layer that prevents corrosion progression. The precision casting process ensures consistent dimensions and smooth internal surfaces that facilitate wire pulling while providing the durability expected from Eaton Crouse-Hinds professional-grade electrical fittings.
