Crouse-Hinds CRS-T45 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What trade sizes does the Crouse-Hinds Condulet Type T outlet body come in?
Six trade sizes are offered on the Series 5 Type T body: 1/2 inch (T15), 3/4 inch (T25), 1 inch (T35), 1-1/4 inch (T45), 1-1/2 inch (T55), and 4 inch (T105). All hubs on a given body match that trade size, so order by the conduit you are running into the fitting.
2) Will a Crouse-Hinds Type T Condulet thread onto EMT?
No. The Type T Condulet is built for rigid and IMC conduit with threaded hubs, so the conduit has to be threaded to take it. EMT is not threaded; for EMT you need a set-screw or compression style conduit body instead.
3) Can I use a Type T conduit body in a hazardous or classified area?
No. This Condulet is rated for ordinary, non-hazardous locations only. A Class I or Class II area needs an explosionproof body built and marked for that classification, not an ordinary-location Type T.
4) What should I use instead of a Crouse-Hinds Type T Condulet when the conduit needs to turn into a building wall rather than branch off a straight run?
The Crouse-Hinds Condulet Series 5 Type T outlet body has a T shape, giving a straight-through run with one perpendicular branch, so it is built for tapping a continuous run rather than terminating one. For a back-of-body turn into a wall, an LB-style access fitting is the corresponding shape - the Kraloy 078146 is an LB25 series PVC LB access fitting in 2-1/2 inch trade size. Note that the Crouse-Hinds T is threaded for rigid and IMC conduit, while the Kraloy LB is a PVC fitting, so the raceway system decides which one belongs in the opening.
5) Do I need to run a separate ground, or does the aluminum Condulet body carry continuity?
The metal body and threaded hubs carry grounding continuity through the fitting once the conduit is made up tight, which is why the install calls for verifying continuity through the aluminum body. Whether that path alone is acceptable, or an equipment grounding conductor has to be pulled, is decided by the NEC/CEC rules for your installation.
6) Does the Crouse-Hinds Series 5 Type T outlet body come with a cover and gasket like a Kraloy LB fitting does?
The Kraloy 078146 LB25 is supplied as a 2-1/2 inch PVC LB access fitting with cover and gasket included. The Crouse-Hinds Condulet Series 5 Type T is the copper-free aluminum body itself, and the install sequence calls for installing an appropriate cover or access plate to complete the work per code, so plan the cover as a separate line item when you order the T105, T15, T25, T35, T45, or T55.
7) For a corrosive or wash-down area, how does the copper-free aluminum Crouse-Hinds Type T compare with a PVC access fitting?
The Crouse-Hinds Condulet Series 5 Type T is copper-free aluminum, which gives corrosion resistance with a metallic body that carries grounding continuity through the fitting, and it is rated for ordinary, non-hazardous locations to NEC/CEC standards. The Kraloy 078146 LB25 is a non-metallic PVC access fitting, so grounding has to be carried by a conductor rather than the body. Choose based on whether your raceway is metallic threaded rigid/IMC or PVC.
8) Is copper-free aluminum a problem in a damp or corrosive plant environment?
Copper-free aluminum is specified precisely to hold up where ordinary alloys pit. It resists corrosion and keeps the body light enough to hang on a long run without extra support. Where it does not belong is in caustic or highly alkaline exposure, or in chlorinated wet process areas, where facilities usually spec a coated or non-metallic body.
9) How much clearance do I need to leave around a Type T Condulet body?
The body measures 3.625 inches deep, so allow at least that much off the mounting surface plus room to swing the cover and make up the conduit at each of the three hubs. Tight ceiling pockets and shallow chases are where this catches people out.
10) Can I use a conduit body as a junction point for splices?
The Type T is designed as an access and routing point, with conductors run through it at proper bend radius and fill. Splicing inside a conduit body is governed by the NEC/CEC volume and marking rules, so size the body accordingly. For a straightforward branch tap with pull access, this is the right fitting shape.
11) Should I use thread sealant on the hubs?
Yes, use sealant on the threads as the job requires when making up rigid or IMC into the hubs. It keeps the joint tight against moisture and helps the made-up connection stay solid over time.
