Condulet Outlet Body System Benefits
Condulet outlet bodies provide superior access and flexibility compared to standard conduit elbows and fittings. The removable cover design allows for easy wire installation, system modifications, and maintenance access without disrupting the entire conduit run. This LL configuration combines a 90-degree directional change with convenient access, making it ideal for complex routing situations where standard fittings would require multiple components.
Why Choose Copper-Free Aluminum Construction?
Copper-free aluminum offers the perfect balance of strength, corrosion resistance, and weight savings for professional electrical installations. Unlike standard aluminum alloys, copper-free construction eliminates galvanic corrosion concerns while providing excellent resistance to environmental factors. The lightweight design reduces installation fatigue and shipping costs while maintaining the structural integrity required for heavy-duty conduit systems. Eaton Crouse-Hinds Series 5 construction ensures this outlet body will provide decades of reliable service in demanding commercial and industrial applications.
