Southwire 18 Rigid 45 Degree Conduit Elbow 3 in

Product Description

The SOUTHWIRE 18 is a 3-inch rigid 45-degree conduit elbow fabricated from galvanized steel for use in electrical conduit installations. It is precision manufactured to deliver smooth interior and exterior surfaces, free of defects, ensuring a secure, low-resistance connection to rigid conduit. The galvanized steel construction provides low conductivity and high corrosion resistance, making it suitable for demanding environments. Licensed electricians and electrical contractors install this fitting as part of rigid metal conduit systems in commercial, industrial, and residential applications.

This elbow is used wherever a 45-degree direction change is required in a rigid metal conduit run. It is appropriate for both indoor and outdoor installations where corrosion resistance and mechanical protection are priorities. The 3-inch trade size accommodates larger conduit runs common in commercial and industrial electrical systems. Hot-dip galvanized finish meets applicable federal specifications for corrosion performance in harsh environments.

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 in the conduit run before beginning work. Use appropriate threading tools and conduit wrenches rated for rigid metal conduit to ensure proper joint engagement. Inspect threads on both the fitting and the conduit for damage before assembly to maintain a secure, weathertight connection.
