Thomas & Betts E987G – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What is a Type C conduit body used for in a PVC conduit run?
A Type C body is the straight-through pull fitting. Both openings are in line with each other, so it gives you a removable cover to pull or splice conductors in a long straight run, not a change of direction. If you need to turn the run, you want an LB, LL, LR or T body instead. The E987G is the 1-1/4 inch PVC version.
2) Can I use the E987G on an EMT run instead of PVC?
No. The E987G is a PVC body with 1-1/4 inch solvent weld hubs, so it will not take EMT. For EMT you want a metallic Type C body such as the Crouse-Hinds C15MTC-6 Condulet, which is a combination EMT Type C conduit outlet body.
3) What is the closest alternative to the Thomas & Betts E987G Type C conduit body?
The nearest comparable is the Crouse-Hinds C15MTC-6 Condulet, also a Type C conduit outlet body. The key difference is the raceway it is built for: the E987G is a PVC body with a 1-1/4 in hub for solvent-weld PVC conduit, while the C15MTC-6 is a combination EMT Condulet from the Condulet Series 5 line. Pick the E987G when the run is rigid nonmetallic conduit and the Crouse-Hinds when you are terminating EMT.
4) Can I use a Crouse-Hinds C15MTC-6 Condulet instead of a Thomas & Betts E987G on a PVC conduit run?
Not as a direct swap. The C15MTC-6 is a combination EMT Condulet, so its openings are prepped for EMT terminations, while the E987G is a PVC body with a 1-1/4 in hub intended to be solvent-welded to rigid nonmetallic conduit. On a PVC run the E987G matches the raceway material and hub; using the EMT Condulet would require an adapter and a transition in materials at that point in the run.
5) How much room do I need to allow for the E987G conduit body between conduit ends?
Allow for 8-21/32 inches of overall length on the E987G. That is the net depth/length figure for the body, so cut your 1-1/4 inch PVC runs to leave that much clear space plus whatever you need to work the cover off.
6) Is the Thomas & Betts E987G UL listed?
It carries UL file E11461. If your inspector is looking for a listed PVC conduit body on the run, that file number is the reference.
7) Both are Type C bodies - what actually differs between the E987G and the Crouse-Hinds C15MTC-6?
They share the Type C configuration, meaning a straight-through pull body with a single access opening. Where they part ways is construction and connection: the E987G is grey PVC, 8-21/32 in long, UL listed under E11461, with a 1-1/4 in PVC hub, and is sold each. The C15MTC-6 is a Crouse-Hinds Condulet Series 5 body built as a combination EMT fitting. If your specification calls out a nonmetallic raceway system, the E987G is the one that keeps the materials consistent.
8) How is the Thomas & Betts E987G sold, individually or in a carton?
Each. The E987G is sold as a single conduit body, so order one per pull point. It is made in the United States.
