Conduit Hub System Benefits

Conduit hubs provide essential transition points between conduit systems and electrical boxes, ensuring secure mechanical connections while maintaining electrical continuity. Unlike improvised connection methods, purpose-built conduit hubs like the MHUB series deliver code-compliant installations with superior long-term reliability. The threaded design creates a weatherproof seal that protects internal connections from moisture and contaminants.

Why Choose Malleable Iron Construction?

Malleable iron offers exceptional advantages over standard steel or aluminum alternatives, providing superior tensile strength and impact resistance while maintaining excellent machinability for precision threading. This material choice ensures the MHUB conduit hub can withstand the mechanical stresses of professional electrical installations while delivering decades of reliable service. Trusted by electrical contractors for over 100 years, Eaton Crouse-Hinds malleable iron fittings represent the gold standard for commercial and industrial electrical connections.
