Form 5 Hot Dip Galvanized Conduit Outlet Bodies

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

• Material: Malleable iron with hot dip galvanized finish.
• 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.

Technical Specifications

Applications

Form 5 hot dip galvanized conduit outlet bodies are used in conduit systems to:

• Act as pull outlets for conductor installation in corrosive environments.
• Provide openings for splices and taps in harsh conditions.
• Connect conduit sections and support branch runs outdoors.
• Facilitate 90-degree bends and conductor access in industrial settings.

Why Choose Form 5 Hot Dip Galvanized Conduit Outlet Bodies?

1. Corrosion Resistance: Hot dip galvanized finish protects against rust and wear.
2. Durability: Malleable iron construction with enhanced zinc coating.
3. Versatility: Multiple types and sizes for diverse conduit needs.
4. Reliability: Ideal for wet, dusty, or industrial environments.

Full Ordering Information

The Form 5 hot dip galvanized series includes various types and sizes, with catalog numbers suffixed by “HDG” to denote the galvanized finish. Below is the complete ordering information based on the document, focusing on provided data for TYPE C and inferred data for other types (LB, TB, X) from dimensions and context.

TYPE C (Straight Conduit Body)

TYPE LB (Back-to-Back Elbow)

TYPE TB (Tee with Back Hub)

TYPE X (Cross)

Additional Types (LL, LR, T)

• TYPE LL (Left Elbow), TYPE LR (Right Elbow), TYPE T (Tee): Catalog numbers follow the pattern (e.g., LL50M HDG, LR75M HDG, T100M HDG) with sizes from 1/2″ to 4″ per dimensions (page 4). Specific volumes, weights, and conductor capacities align with standard Form 5 data (not detailed in HDG document).

Ordering Notes

• Suffix: “HDG” denotes hot dip galvanizing (e.g., C50M HDG).
• Availability: Confirm sizes beyond listed data (e.g., 2-1/2″ to 4″ for TB, X) with supplier, as OCR data is incomplete.
• Covers and Gaskets: Order separately (e.g., K50S HDG for sheet steel cover, GK50N for gasket); HDG finish may apply to covers if specified.

Ordering Examples

• C100M HDG: 1″ straight conduit body with hot dip galvanizing.
• TB200M HDG with Cover: Order “TB200M HDG” and “K200S HDG” separately.
• X75M HDG: 3/4″ cross conduit body with galvanized finish.

How to Install

1. Select the conduit body type (C, LB, TB, X, etc.) and size based on your conduit run.
2. Attach to the conduit system using appropriate fittings.
3. Pull conductors through, leveraging rollers (1-1/4″ to 4″ sizes) if applicable.
4. Secure with a compatible cover and gasket for sealing, if required.
5. Ensure proper alignment and tightness for maintenance access.
