Orbit Industries MT-50 Conduit Body T Style 1/2 Inch

Product Description

The ORBIT INDUSTRIES MT-50 is a T-style malleable iron threaded conduit body designed for use in electrical conduit systems requiring a T-configuration junction point. Constructed from zinc-plated malleable iron, it delivers high tensile strength, ductility, and corrosion resistance in a 1/2-inch trade size. Smooth and rounded integral bushings are built into the body to protect wire insulation from abrasion during pull-through. This conduit body is suited for licensed electricians working on residential and commercial wiring installations where code-compliant junction access and wire protection are required.

The MT-50 is appropriate for use in standard EMT or rigid metal conduit runs where a T-configuration is needed to branch or redirect conductors. The 1/2-inch trade size fits common branch circuit and low-voltage wiring applications. Its zinc-plated malleable iron construction holds up in both indoor and moderately exposed outdoor environments where corrosion resistance is a factor. Electricians typically use this body at junction, pull, or splice points within a conduit system.

Key Features

• T-style configuration provides a three-port junction point for branching or redirecting conduit runs
• Zinc-plated malleable iron construction offers high corrosion, impact, and shock resistance
• Smooth and rounded integral bushings protect wire insulation during installation and service
• High tensile strength and ductility reduce the risk of cracking under mechanical stress
• Interchangeable with Appleton Form 35 and Cooper Crouse-Hinds Form 5 conduit bodies

Compatibility

Interchangeable with Appleton Form 35 and Cooper Crouse-Hinds Form 5 conduit bodies. Designed as an OEM-style replacement or equivalent fitting for 1/2-inch trade size threaded conduit systems.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed electrician in accordance with the National Electrical Code (NEC) and applicable local codes. De-energize all circuits and verify absence of voltage before opening or working within any conduit body. Use appropriate conduit wrenches and thread sealant as required by the installation environment. Do not overtighten threaded connections, as malleable iron fittings can crack if subjected to excessive torque.
