  • Line includes parts to connect all standard sizes of conduits, from ½” to 4”. 
  • The first conduit body, extension box and adapter ring designed as one unit for best seal and ease of installation.

Also available for acquisition:  A patented side-fastening cover for existing conduit bodies.  Screws on body covers often break during retrofitting or repairs, which means having to replace the box to comply with code.  The side fasting cover eliminates this. This item has multi-million unit potential.

Self-holding replacement cover for standard bodies—Cover screws often break during retrofitting or repairs, which had meant replacing the whole box per code.  This new side-fastening cover has sharp set-screws that bite into the existing body for grounding and tight grip.  This innovation saves the existing body and the ¾ of an hour of labor it would take to replace it—$100 value from an $8 part
