Red Dot DAC-1-CG – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What conduit type and size does the Red Dot DAC-1-CG conduit body fit?
The DAC-1-CG is a 1/2 inch Series A conduit body built for rigid and IMC conduit. Both ends are threaded hubs that take standard 1/2 inch rigid/IMC conduit thread, so it is not intended for EMT, which uses set-screw or compression connectors rather than threads.
2) What is a C style conduit body used for versus an LB, LL or LR?
A C body is a straight-through pull fitting: both hubs are in line with each other, so it gives you an access opening for pulling or splicing conductors in a run that keeps going the same direction. The DAC-1-CG is that C configuration in 1/2 inch. If you need to turn the run 90 degrees, you want an L body instead, with the back outlet (LB) for coming out of a wall, or a left or right side outlet (LL or LR) for running along a surface.
3) Does the Red Dot DAC-1-CG come with a cover and gasket, or do I order those separately?
Cover and gasket are included. The DAC-1-CG ships as a complete assembly with the C style body, its cover and the gasket, so nothing extra is needed to close it up on the job besides the conduit itself.
4) Is the DAC-1-CG conduit body suitable for outdoor or wet location use?
The gasketed cover is what makes this body appropriate for damp and wet exterior runs: the gasket seals the cover against the body face so water does not enter the pull opening. The body is die cast aluminum, which is the usual choice for outdoor conduit bodies because it does not rust the way plain steel does.
5) Can I use an aluminum conduit body like the DAC-1-CG on galvanized rigid steel conduit?
Yes, and it is done routinely. The DAC-1-CG is die cast aluminum with 1/2 inch rigid/IMC threads, and those threads mate with galvanized rigid or IMC regardless of the body material. Where it matters is direct burial in concrete or contact with masonry and certain soils, which attack bare aluminum, so in those spots field coating or a different material is the better call.
6) What is the exact part number to order the Red Dot 1/2 inch C style conduit body with cover and gasket?
Order it as Red Dot DAC-1-CG. That is the manufacturer part number for the 1/2 inch Series A C style body supplied with cover and gasket, and it is the only configuration under that number, so there is no finish or size option to specify.
7) I am standardizing pull fittings across a property. Can I mix the DAC-1-CG with other Series A conduit bodies?
Yes. Series A is a common dimensional pattern, so a 1/2 inch Series A body from one line shares hub spacing and cover footprint with other 1/2 inch Series A bodies, including the LB, LL and LR shapes you would use at turns. Keeping a facility on 1/2 inch Series A means one cover and gasket size to stock for all of them.
