Crouse-Hinds X38 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Crouse-Hinds X conduit body thread onto rigid metal conduit and IMC?
Yes. The X body is built for rigid and intermediate metallic conduit, with threaded hubs that make up directly to threaded RMC or IMC ends. It is not a fitting for PVC or for EMT, which uses setscrew or compression connectors rather than threads.
2) Is a NEMA 12 conduit body okay for a wet outdoor location?
No. NEMA 12 covers dust, falling dirt and dripping non-corrosive liquids, which suits indoor industrial and commercial spaces. It is not a rating for rain, hose-down washdown or direct outdoor exposure, and the body is designated for ordinary, non-hazardous locations only, so do not use it in a classified area.
3) What is the difference between Form 7, Form 8, Mark 9 and Series 5 on Crouse-Hinds X bodies?
Those are the Crouse-Hinds body forms, and they are how you match a replacement to what is already on the wall. Ordering runs by that form plus trade size: Form 7 gives X17, X27, X37, X47 and X67 from 1/2 through 2 inch; Form 8 gives X18, X28, X38, X448, X58 and X68; Mark 9 gives X19, X29 and X39; Series 5 includes X25 at 3/4 inch. If you are matching covers and gaskets to existing bodies in a facility, stay within the same form.
4) Can I use this X conduit body in a hazardous or classified area?
No. It is designated for ordinary, non-hazardous locations. Classified areas need an explosionproof body listed for the specific class, division and group of that space.
5) I am running PVC conduit, not rigid — can I use the Crouse-Hinds X conduit body or do I need something else?
The Crouse-Hinds X-Form conduit body is built for rigid and IMC conduit, so its hubs are threaded for metallic conduit rather than solvent-weld PVC. For a PVC run you would want a PVC access fitting instead, such as the Kraloy 078146 LB25, a 2-1/2 inch PVC LB access fitting supplied with a cover and gasket. Note that the Kraloy is an LB body, which is a back-to-side pull point, while the X body gives you four openings for multi-directional routing.
6) I need a 2-1/2 inch body — does the Crouse-Hinds X come that large?
The Crouse-Hinds X-Form body is offered in trade sizes from 1/2 inch up through 2 inch, across the Form 7, Form 8, Mark 9 and Series 5 groupings. For a 2-1/2 inch opening on a PVC run, the Kraloy 078146 LB25 is a 2-1/2 inch PVC LB access fitting, though it is an LB rather than a four-way X and is intended for PVC rather than rigid or IMC conduit.
7) What trade sizes does the Crouse-Hinds X conduit body come in?
Trade sizes run 1/2, 3/4, 1, 1-1/4, 1-1/2 and 2 inch. Pick the body to match the conduit size on the run; all four openings on a given body are the same trade size.
8) Does this conduit body meet code for a commercial electrical inspection?
The X body is built to NEC and CEC standards, which is what an inspector on a US or Canadian commercial or institutional job is working from. Conductor fill and splice allowances in the body still have to be worked out on your end, since those depend on wire size and count, not on the fitting.
9) What is the difference between an X conduit body and an LB fitting like the Kraloy LB25?
Shape and conduit system. The Crouse-Hinds X body is an X configuration, meaning four hub openings for multi-directional routing and splice access on rigid or IMC conduit, and it carries a NEMA 12 rating for dust and dripping non-corrosive liquids. The Kraloy 078146 is an LB25 series PVC LB fitting with a cover and gasket, giving a single back-to-side turn in a PVC run. Choose the X body where a run branches in more than two directions, the LB where conduit simply turns out of a wall.
10) Does the Kraloy LB25 work as a substitute for the Crouse-Hinds X body in an industrial rigid conduit system?
Not as a direct substitute. The Kraloy 078146 is an LB25 series PVC fitting, so it terminates PVC conduit and provides one back-to-side access point. The Crouse-Hinds X-Form body connects to rigid and IMC conduit for robust mechanical protection, is rated NEMA 12 against dust, falling dirt and dripping non-corrosive liquids, and meets NEC/CEC standards for ordinary, non-hazardous locations. If the raceway is threaded metallic conduit, stay with the X body in the matching trade size.
11) Where do X bodies actually get used on a commercial job?
Anywhere four conduit legs converge and you need a pull point: commercial building distribution, industrial plant routing, schools, offices, retail, and multi-unit residential. The removable cover is what makes them worth specifying, since it gives maintenance access to the conductors later without cutting into the run.
