Technical Specifications

This 1-1/4" trade size condulet features copper-free aluminum construction with T-shape configuration for rigid and IMC conduit systems. The outlet body measures 8.45" in length, 2.73" in height, and 2.49" in width, with a total weight of 1.65 pounds. The unit is designed for ordinary/non-hazardous locations and complies with NEC/CEC standards. The precision-cast aluminum body provides three threaded hubs in T-configuration, allowing for straight-through conduit runs with perpendicular branch connections.

Installation Process

1. Verify conduit alignment and measure required condulet positioning for proper fit
2. Apply appropriate thread sealant to conduit threads per local electrical code requirements
3. Thread rigid or IMC conduit into condulet hubs, ensuring full engagement without over-tightening
4. Install gasket and cover plate, tightening screws evenly to manufacturer specifications
5. Verify grounding continuity through the complete conduit system
6. Test cover removal and replacement to ensure proper wire access for future maintenance

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
• Equipment Connections - Motor control centers, switchgear, and electrical panel connections requiring direction changes
• Conduit System Extensions - Branch circuits and feeder routing in complex electrical installations
• Maintenance Access Points - Strategic wire pulling locations in long conduit runs for future system modifications
• Outdoor Installations - Weather-exposed applications where aluminum's corrosion resistance provides long-term value
• Municipal Infrastructure - Schools, government buildings, and public facilities requiring durable electrical systems
• Agricultural Systems - Farm buildings and processing facilities where corrosion resistance is critical

Condulet System Benefits

Condulet outlet bodies provide superior advantages over standard conduit elbows and tees by offering removable access covers for wire pulling and system maintenance. The T-shape configuration eliminates the need for multiple fittings when creating branch connections, reducing installation time and potential failure points. The generous interior volume accommodates wire splices when properly sized per NEC requirements, while the smooth cast interior surfaces minimize wire damage during installation.

Why Choose Copper-Free Aluminum?

Copper-free aluminum construction delivers exceptional corrosion resistance without the galvanic compatibility issues associated with copper-bearing alloys. This material choice provides optimal performance in diverse environmental conditions while maintaining the lightweight handling benefits that reduce installation labor costs. The precision casting process ensures consistent wall thickness and dimensional accuracy, delivering the professional-grade reliability that electrical contractors have trusted from Eaton Crouse-Hinds for over 100 years.
