Technical Specifications

This 1" trade size LL condulet features copper-free aluminum construction with overall dimensions of 5.94" length, 2.68" height, and 1.9" width, weighing just 0.64 pounds for easy handling. The LL shape provides two openings positioned at 90 degrees to each other, making it ideal for conduit direction changes. Compatible with both rigid and IMC conduit systems, this Series 5 outlet body meets NEC/CEC standards for ordinary location installations and maintains proper grounding continuity throughout the electrical system.

Installation Process

1. Verify conduit alignment and measure required offset distance for proper LL condulet placement
2. Thread the first section of 1" rigid or IMC conduit into the inlet opening hand-tight
3. Apply pipe thread compound to the second conduit section and thread into the outlet opening
4. Tighten both conduit connections using appropriate wrenches, ensuring proper grounding continuity
5. Install appropriate condulet cover with gasket to maintain environmental protection
6. Verify all connections are secure and properly aligned before proceeding with wire installation

Applications

Perfect for:

• Commercial Buildings - Office complexes, retail centers, and healthcare facilities requiring reliable conduit routing
• Industrial Facilities - Manufacturing plants, processing centers, and warehouse electrical distribution systems
• Institutional Projects - Schools, government buildings, and municipal infrastructure installations
• Equipment Connections - Motor control centers, switchgear, and electrical panel connections
• Conduit Direction Changes - 90-degree turns in rigid and IMC conduit runs
• Junction Points - Wire pulling access points in complex conduit routing systems
• Maintenance Access - Locations requiring future wire additions or modifications
• Corrosive Environments - Areas where aluminum's corrosion resistance provides long-term reliability

Condulet System Benefits

Condulet outlet bodies provide superior flexibility compared to standard conduit elbows by offering removable covers for wire pulling access and future system modifications. The LL configuration is particularly valuable in applications requiring 90-degree direction changes while maintaining easy access for wire installation, troubleshooting, and system expansion. This design eliminates the need for complex conduit bending and reduces installation time while providing permanent access points for electrical system maintenance.

Why Choose Copper-Free Aluminum?

Copper-free aluminum construction delivers exceptional corrosion resistance while providing significant weight savings over steel alternatives. This material choice is particularly advantageous in environments with moisture exposure or chemical vapors, where aluminum's natural oxide layer provides long-term protection. The lightweight design reduces installer fatigue and simplifies overhead installations, while maintaining the structural integrity required for professional electrical systems. Eaton Crouse-Hinds Series 5 quality ensures decades of reliable performance in demanding commercial and industrial applications.
