Crouse-Hinds EL49 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What hub sizes does the Crouse-Hinds EL series 90-degree female conduit elbow come in?
Seven trade sizes, from 1/2 inch up through 2-1/2 inch: 1/2 inch is EL19, 3/4 inch EL29, 1 inch EL39, 1-1/4 inch EL49, 1-1/2 inch EL59, 2 inch EL69, and 2-1/2 inch EL79. Order by the trade size of the rigid or IMC conduit you are turning.
2) Can I use this elbow in a Class I, Division 1 area?
Yes. The Crouse-Hinds EL series malleable iron elbow carries a Class I, Division 1 hazardous rating, which covers areas where flammable gases or vapors can be present under normal operating conditions. It is built to NEC/CEC standards for hazardous and classified locations, so it suits petrochemical, oil and gas, chemical, paint spray booth, grain handling, and aircraft hangar work.
3) Are both ends of the EL series elbow female threaded, or is one end male?
Both openings are female. The EL series elbow is a female fitting, so it threads onto male-threaded rigid or IMC conduit ends and male-threaded fittings on each side. If your run presents two female ends at the turn, you need nipples or a male-ended fitting to make up to this elbow.
4) Will this work with EMT conduit?
No. The Crouse-Hinds EL series elbow is threaded for rigid metal conduit and intermediate metallic conduit (IMC). EMT is not threaded and will not make up to it. For an EMT run you need a compression or set-screw elbow, and note those are not Class I, Division 1 rated the way this malleable iron threaded elbow is.
5) Why pick a malleable iron elbow over an aluminum or PVC-coated one?
Malleable iron is the workhorse choice for threaded rigid/IMC turns in classified areas: strong, impact tolerant, and it holds thread engagement for the explosionproof joint. Aluminum is the usual pick where weight matters or where the atmosphere attacks ferrous metal, and PVC-coated iron is what you specify for wet or chemically aggressive outdoor areas. For general Class I, Division 1 industrial interiors, the plain malleable iron EL series is the standard spec.
6) Is a 90-degree elbow the right fitting, or should I use a conduit body or a factory sweep?
A 90-degree threaded elbow makes a tight, fixed turn where you have no room to bend conduit, and the EL series is a 90 degree angle fitting. It gives you no access and no pulling point, so for long or multi-bend pulls you want a pulling elbow or conduit body with a cover instead. For large conductors that need a generous bending radius, a factory-bent sweep is the better call. In Division 1 areas any of those alternatives has to be rated for the classification too.
7) Does this elbow keep the conduit system grounded and bonded?
Yes. Threaded malleable iron construction makes the elbow part of the metallic raceway, and the description calls out the threaded connection for reliable electrical continuity. Wrench-tight thread engagement is what maintains both the equipment grounding path and the explosionproof integrity of the joint in a Class I, Division 1 run.
8) Can I mix hub sizes, like a 3/4 inch to 1/2 inch turn, with this elbow?
No. Each EL series elbow is a single hub size on both ends, so a 3/4 inch EL29 takes 3/4 inch conduit on each side. To change trade size at the turn, make up the elbow in one size and add a reducing bushing or reducer rated for the classification ahead of it.
9) Will the EL series elbow meet Canadian Electrical Code for a plant in Canada?
The EL series elbow is built to NEC/CEC standards, so it is specified for both US National Electrical Code and Canadian Electrical Code installations, with a Class I, Division 1 hazardous location rating.
