Thomas & Betts CIEFA-1 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will the CIEFA-1 thread onto EMT or only rigid conduit?
Rigid. The CIEFA-1 is specified as a rigid entrance head in 1 inch trade size, so it mates with threaded rigid metal conduit. EMT is unthreaded and takes a different style of head or a threaded adapter, so do not plan on running this one straight onto an EMT mast.
2) What is a service entrance head like the CIEFA-1 used for on a service mast?
It caps the top of the conduit riser where the utility drop lands. Service entrance conductors come up through the 1 inch rigid conduit and exit through the head's insulated bushing openings, angled down so rain runs off instead of following the wires into the raceway. It is the weatherproof termination on a mast, not a fitting used inside the building.
3) Is the CIEFA-1 entrance head metal or plastic?
Cast aluminum. That is what an electrician wants on an exposed mast: it will not go brittle in UV like a molded plastic head, and aluminum avoids the rust you get from a plated steel body on a coastal or high-rain install.
4) What part number should I give my supplier for a 1 inch Thomas & Betts rigid service head?
Order it as Thomas & Betts CIEFA-1. That single manufacturer part number covers the whole item, there are no finish or configuration options to specify with it.
