Technical Specifications

This aluminum Series 5 condulet cover accommodates both 2-1/2" and 3" trade sizes, measuring 5.04 inches in length, 3.78 inches in width, and 2.47 inches in height. Weighing just 0.78 pounds, the lightweight aluminum construction provides excellent corrosion resistance while maintaining the structural integrity required for demanding electrical installations. The cover is specifically designed for ordinary/non-hazardous locations and complies with NEC/CEC standards for electrical safety and performance.

Installation Process

1. Ensure power is disconnected and verify the condulet body is properly supported
2. Remove the existing cover by loosening the mounting screws in a cross pattern
3. Clean the mating surfaces of both the condulet body and new aluminum cover
4. Position the new Series 5 cover ensuring proper alignment with mounting holes
5. Install mounting screws and tighten in a cross pattern to ensure even pressure distribution
6. Verify the cover is securely fastened and properly sealed against the condulet body

Applications

Perfect for:

• Commercial Buildings - Office complexes, retail centers, and healthcare facilities requiring reliable electrical infrastructure
• Industrial Facilities - Manufacturing plants, processing facilities, and warehouses with demanding electrical requirements
• Outdoor Installations - Weather-exposed condulet bodies where corrosion resistance is critical
• Municipal Infrastructure - Schools, government buildings, and public facilities requiring long-term reliability
• Maintenance Applications - Replacement covers for existing Series 5 condulet installations
• Marine Environments - Coastal installations where salt air accelerates corrosion of steel components
• Chemical Processing - Areas with corrosive atmospheres where aluminum's natural resistance provides extended service life
• Food Processing - Clean environments requiring corrosion-resistant electrical components

Condulet Cover System Benefits

Condulet covers are essential components that protect electrical connections while providing access for maintenance and wire pulling. Unlike junction boxes that require complete replacement when damaged, condulet systems allow individual component replacement, reducing maintenance costs and system downtime. The modular design enables quick repairs and upgrades without disturbing the entire electrical run, making them the preferred choice for professional electrical contractors.

Why Choose Aluminum Construction?

Aluminum offers the ideal combination of strength, corrosion resistance, and weight savings for electrical applications. Unlike steel covers that can rust and deteriorate over time, aluminum naturally forms a protective oxide layer that prevents further corrosion. This self-protecting characteristic, combined with aluminum's excellent strength-to-weight ratio, makes it the superior choice for outdoor installations, coastal environments, and any application where long-term reliability is paramount. The lightweight nature also reduces installation fatigue and makes overhead work safer and more efficient.
