Technical Specifications

This Condulet Series 5 outlet body features a 3/4" trade size with LR shape configuration, measuring 5.07" in length, 2.28" in height, and 1.64" in width. The copper-free aluminum construction weighs just 0.48 pounds, making it significantly lighter than steel alternatives while providing superior corrosion resistance. The unit is designed for rigid and IMC conduit systems and complies with NEC/CEC standards for ordinary/non-hazardous locations.

Installation Process

1. Verify conduit alignment and measure the required offset distance for the LR configuration
2. Apply appropriate thread compound to conduit threads to ensure weatherproof seal
3. Thread the first conduit section into the inlet hub, ensuring full engagement
4. Connect the outlet conduit to the perpendicular hub, maintaining proper alignment
5. Remove the cover and install conductors, following NEC fill requirements
6. Secure cover with gasket to maintain environmental protection rating

Applications

Perfect for:

• Commercial Buildings - Office complexes, retail spaces, and healthcare facilities requiring reliable conduit routing
• Industrial Facilities - Manufacturing plants, processing facilities, and warehouses with complex conduit layouts
• Equipment Connections - Motor control centers, switchgear, and electrical panels requiring conduit direction changes
• Branch Circuit Wiring - 120V and 277V lighting circuits, receptacle circuits, and control wiring systems
• Maintenance Access Points - Locations requiring periodic wire access for system modifications or troubleshooting
• Conduit System Transitions - Converting conduit direction while maintaining wire pulling access
• Outdoor Installations - Weather-exposed applications where corrosion resistance is critical
• Municipal Infrastructure - Schools, government buildings, and public facilities with long-term reliability requirements

Condulet Outlet Body System Benefits

Condulet outlet bodies provide superior advantages over standard conduit fittings by combining conduit routing with accessible junction capabilities. Unlike simple elbows or couplings, the removable cover design allows for wire pulling access, splice points, and future system modifications without disrupting the entire conduit run. This flexibility reduces installation time and provides long-term maintenance advantages that justify the investment in professional-grade fittings.

Why Choose Copper-Free Aluminum Construction?

Copper-free aluminum offers the ideal balance of strength, weight, and corrosion resistance for electrical conduit systems. Unlike steel fittings that require protective coatings, aluminum naturally resists corrosion while weighing significantly less for easier installation. The copper-free specification ensures compatibility with aluminum conductors and prevents galvanic corrosion issues. Backed by Eaton Crouse-Hinds' century of electrical innovation, this outlet body delivers the reliability and performance that electrical professionals demand for critical installations.
