Technical Specifications

This 3" trade size LL condulet features copper-free aluminum construction with Series 5 heavy-duty design. The outlet body measures 13" in length, 4.7" in width, and 6.1" in height, with a total weight of 6 pounds. The LL shape provides a 90-degree turn configuration ideal for conduit routing around obstacles or changing direction in electrical runs. Compatible with rigid steel conduit and IMC (Intermediate Metal Conduit) systems, this fitting maintains NEC/CEC compliance for ordinary location installations.

Installation Process

1. Verify conduit alignment and measure required routing path for proper fit
2. Thread rigid or IMC conduit into condulet hubs using appropriate threading compound
3. Ensure all connections are hand-tight plus 1-2 additional turns for secure seal
4. Install conductors through the conduit system before final tightening
5. Make electrical connections inside the condulet body as required
6. Install and secure the removable cover with appropriate gasket for environmental protection

Applications

Perfect for:

• Commercial Buildings - Office complexes, retail centers, and institutional facilities requiring heavy-duty electrical distribution
• Industrial Facilities - Manufacturing plants, processing facilities, and warehouses with demanding electrical requirements
• Municipal Infrastructure - Schools, hospitals, government buildings, and public facilities
• Equipment Connections - Motor control centers, switchgear, and large electrical panels
• Outdoor Installations - Weather-exposed conduit runs where corrosion resistance is critical
• High-Capacity Circuits - Feeder runs, service entrances, and distribution panels requiring 3" conduit
• Conduit Direction Changes - 90-degree turns in rigid conduit systems around structural obstacles
• Junction Points - Wire splicing locations in long conduit runs requiring access for maintenance

Condulet System Benefits

Condulet outlet bodies provide superior access compared to standard conduit elbows, allowing for easier wire installation and future system modifications. The removable cover design enables maintenance access without disturbing the conduit system, while the robust construction ensures long-term reliability in demanding electrical environments. This makes condulets the preferred choice for professional electrical contractors working on commercial and industrial projects.

Why Choose Copper-Free Aluminum?

Copper-free aluminum construction offers the perfect balance of strength, corrosion resistance, and weight savings for electrical conduit systems. Unlike standard aluminum alloys, copper-free aluminum eliminates galvanic corrosion concerns while providing excellent resistance to environmental conditions. The lightweight design reduces installation fatigue and shipping costs, while maintaining the structural integrity required for heavy-duty electrical applications. Trusted by electrical professionals for over 100 years, Eaton Crouse-Hinds delivers the quality and reliability that contractors depend on for critical electrical infrastructure.
