Below, we detail their features, specifications, applications, benefits, and complete ordering information.
Description
What are Form 5 Hot Dip Galvanized Conduit Outlet Bodies?
Form 5 conduit outlet bodies are malleable iron fittings coated with a hot dip galvanized finish, a process involving submersion in a molten zinc bath at high temperatures. This results in a reliable, long-lasting zinc coating that enhances corrosion resistance. Manufactured by Crouse-Hinds, these bodies are designed for versatility in conduit systems, offering configurations like LB (back-to-back elbow), C (straight), TB (tee with back hub), and X (cross). The hot dip galvanizing ensures durability in wet, dusty, or corrosive conditions.
Key Features

- Finish: Zinc coating via hot dip galvanizing for superior corrosion resistance.
- Design: Robust construction, compatible with Form 5 standard features (e.g., rollers on 1-1/4″ to 4″ sizes, smooth bushings).
- Applications: Suitable for harsh industrial and outdoor environments.
- Manufacturer: Eaton Crouse-Hinds.
