Killark GESTT-3 Explosion Proof Conduit Body 1 in

Product Description

The KILLARK GESTT-3 is a 1-inch explosion-proof conduit body designed for use in hazardous location electrical installations. Conduit bodies of this type provide access points for wire pulling, splicing, and directional changes within a conduit system while maintaining an enclosure rating suitable for classified environments. Licensed electricians install this fitting in areas where flammable gases, vapors, or dusts may be present, making the explosion-proof construction a code requirement rather than an option. The GESTT-3 follows the standard T-body configuration, allowing three-way conduit routing in a compact form.

This conduit body is intended for use in hazardous location wiring systems classified under NEC Article 500, typically in industrial facilities, petrochemical plants, refineries, grain handling operations, and similar environments. The 1-inch trade size accommodates standard 1-inch rigid or intermediate metal conduit runs. It is suited for both new construction and retrofit applications where maintaining explosion-proof integrity throughout the conduit system is required.

Key Features

• Explosion-proof construction rated for hazardous location use per NEC Article 500 requirements
• 1-inch trade size fits standard rigid and intermediate metal conduit
• T-body configuration supports three-way conduit routing and wire access
• Provides pull, splice, and direction-change access within classified area wiring systems

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style fitting for 1-inch explosion-proof conduit systems installed in NEC-classified hazardous locations.

Installation Notes

Installation must be performed by a licensed electrician familiar with NEC Article 500 hazardous location requirements. De-energize all circuits in the work area before opening or installing conduit bodies. Ensure all threaded connections are made up wrench-tight to maintain the explosion-proof integrity of the conduit system. Verify the area classification and confirm the fitting is rated for the specific hazardous location division or zone before installation.
