Technical Specifications

This Condulet Series 5 outlet body features 3/4" trade size threading compatible with rigid and IMC conduit systems. The copper-free aluminum construction provides excellent corrosion resistance while maintaining a lightweight profile at just 0.4 pounds. Compact dimensions of 5.4" length, 1.64" height, and 1.53" width enable installation in space-constrained applications. The T-shape configuration creates three conduit connection points for versatile routing options in electrical distribution systems.

Installation Process

1. Verify conduit alignment and measure required outlet body positioning for proper T-configuration routing
2. Apply appropriate thread compound to conduit threads to ensure weatherproof seal
3. Thread rigid or IMC conduit into outlet body hubs, ensuring full engagement and proper alignment
4. Secure all conduit connections with appropriate locknuts and bushings per NEC requirements
5. Install conductors through conduit system, utilizing outlet body access for wire pulling assistance
6. Complete electrical connections within outlet body, ensuring proper wire management and code compliance
7. Install cover with gasket to maintain environmental protection and system integrity

Applications

Perfect for:

• Commercial Buildings - Office complexes, retail facilities, and healthcare installations requiring reliable conduit routing
• Industrial Facilities - Manufacturing plants, processing facilities, and warehouse electrical distribution systems
• Equipment Connections - Motor control centers, switchgear, and electrical panel feed connections
• Conduit Direction Changes - 90-degree routing applications where standard elbows cannot accommodate wire access needs
• Wire Pulling Stations - Long conduit runs requiring intermediate access points for conductor installation
• System Modifications - Retrofit applications where future electrical system changes are anticipated
• Corrosive Environments - Applications where aluminum's corrosion resistance provides superior longevity
• Weight-Sensitive Installations - Overhead or supported conduit systems where lightweight fittings reduce structural loading

Condulet Outlet Body System Benefits

Condulet outlet bodies provide superior functionality compared to standard conduit elbows by offering removable access covers for wire pulling, splicing, and system maintenance. The T-shape configuration enables complex routing solutions while maintaining code-compliant conductor access. This design reduces installation time for long conduit runs and simplifies future electrical system modifications, making it the preferred choice for professional electrical contractors.

Why Choose Copper-Free Aluminum Construction?

Copper-free aluminum construction delivers exceptional corrosion resistance while maintaining the lightweight handling benefits that speed installation. Unlike steel fittings that require protective coatings, aluminum naturally resists corrosion and eliminates concerns about coating damage during installation. The precision casting process ensures consistent dimensions and smooth interior surfaces that facilitate wire pulling while providing the durability and reliability expected from Eaton Crouse-Hinds professional-grade electrical fittings.
