Ocal T38-4X-G – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What is a Type T conduit body used for in a conduit run?
A Type T body, like the Ocal T38-4X-G, gives you a straight-through pull point with three openings plus a removable cover. It is used as a pull outlet for conductors being installed, so you can feed and pull wire mid-run instead of fighting a long continuous pull, and come back into the run later for maintenance. If you need to change direction at a corner instead of branching or pulling straight through, an LB, LL or LR body is the fitting for that job, not a T.
2) Is the Ocal T38-4X-G suitable for outdoor or washdown locations?
Yes. The T38-4X-G carries a NEMA 4X rating, which covers wet, corrosive and washdown service. That is why it turns up in wastewater plants, marine work, chemical areas and outdoor raceway runs. The PVC coating over the body is what makes that rating hold up against moisture and chemical attack.
3) What is the body made of under the PVC coating?
Iron, with an exterior PVC coating over it. So you get the mechanical strength of a cast iron conduit body plus a coated barrier against corrosion. Mind that coating during install: gouging it with pipe wrenches or strap clamps exposes the iron and is the usual failure point on PVC-coated systems.
4) What does Form 8 mean on this Ocal conduit body, and does it matter for wire fill?
Form 8 refers to the body size class. The T38-4X-G is built to a Form 8 configuration, which is sized to give you the wire fill and bending space the standard conduit body classifications call for. In practice a larger form number means a deeper, roomier body, so conductors are not crushed against the cover. If your spec sheet calls out a specific form, match it; forms are not interchangeable for fill calculations.
5) What part number do I order, and is it a single item?
The part number is T38-4X-G, sold as that one model. Keep the full suffix when you order: the 4X denotes the NEMA 4X rated version and the G the coated finish, so a shortened number can land you a different fitting.
6) Why specify a PVC-coated conduit body instead of plain malleable iron in a corrosive plant?
Plain iron bodies rust where there is standing moisture, chemical mist or frequent washdown, and once the threads corrode the fitting is scrap and the run has to be cut apart. The Ocal T38-4X-G puts a PVC coating over the iron body and is NEMA 4X rated for exactly those wet and corrosive locations. In a dry indoor raceway the coating buys you nothing; in wastewater, marine or chemical-exposure areas it is the reason the fitting is still serviceable years later.
7) Does the Ocal T38-4X-G come in the standard PVC-coated gray?
It ships dark gray, which is the normal appearance of the PVC-coated Ocal line. If you are matching existing coated fittings on a plant raceway run, the finish will look consistent with the rest of the Ocal system.
