Thomas & Betts CARLON UAFAD 1/2" Offset Flexible Elbow, 0-90° Adjustable
The Thomas & Betts CARLON UAFAD is a 1/2" adjustable offset flexible elbow built for conduit runs that require a variable bend instead of a single fixed angle. Part of the CARLON UAFAD product series, this flexible elbow (FLX ELL) type fitting adjusts through a 0-90° range, allowing installers to dial in the exact offset needed to route conduit around obstructions, transition between conduit sections, or align with existing runs on the jobsite. The offset (OFST) configuration keeps the overall conduit path compact while still delivering the adjustability of a flexible fitting, rather than forcing installers to stock multiple fixed-angle elbows for every possible bend condition. Sized for 1/2" conduit, the UAFAD elbow is a practical, field-adjustable solution for electrical contractors working in tight, irregular, or obstruction-heavy spaces where a standard rigid elbow will not fit.
Key Features
- Trade Size: 1/2" sizing matches standard 1/2" conduit runs, allowing the fitting to integrate directly into existing electrical conduit systems without adapters.
- Adjustable Angle: The elbow bends through a full 0-90° range, so installers are not locked into a single fixed angle and can set the precise offset required for each specific routing condition.
- Offset Design: The OFST configuration is built to shift conduit alignment while maintaining a compact overall footprint, helping conduit runs bypass obstructions without adding unnecessary bulk.
- Flexible Elbow Construction: As a FLX ELL type fitting, the body of the elbow flexes to accommodate the selected bend angle rather than requiring a separate fitting for every angle variation.
- CARLON UAFAD Series: This fitting is manufactured under the CARLON product line by Thomas & Betts, pairing the CARLON design with the Thomas & Betts electrical brand.
- Field-Adjustable Value: Because the angle is adjustable rather than fixed, a single UAFAD elbow can replace several individual fixed-angle elbows in a contractor's conduit fitting inventory.

Why Thomas & Betts?
Thomas & Betts backs the CARLON UAFAD line with the engineering consistency electrical professionals expect from an established conduit fittings manufacturer. The adjustable 0-90° offset design gives contractors a single fitting that adapts to multiple field conditions instead of stocking several fixed-angle elbows, simplifying inventory while maintaining reliable conduit alignment on every job. For professionals who need dependable conduit routing solutions that can be adjusted on site rather than pre-ordered to a fixed angle, the CARLON UAFAD series from Thomas & Betts delivers a flexible, field-ready fitting built for real-world installation demands, giving contractors one adjustable elbow that covers the full 0-90° range instead of a shelf full of fixed-angle alternatives.
