Southwire 28 3-inch 45-degree Emt Elbow

Product Description

The SOUTHWIRE 28 is a 3-inch, 45-degree EMT elbow fitting used to change the direction of electrical metallic tubing runs in commercial and residential wiring installations. This elbow allows conduit to make a smooth 45-degree bend without field bending, maintaining consistent interior diameter for wire pull-through. It is installed by licensed electricians during rough-in and fit-out phases of construction, renovation, and infrastructure projects where EMT conduit systems are specified.

This fitting is suited for 3-inch EMT conduit systems in commercial construction, industrial facilities, and large residential builds. It is commonly used in electrical rooms, service entrances, and long conduit runs where a factory-formed 45-degree offset is needed to route conductors around structural obstacles or transition between raceway paths. Installation follows NEC guidelines for conduit fittings and supports.

Key Features

• 45-degree angle provides precise directional change without field bending
• Sized for 3-inch EMT conduit for use in heavy-duty commercial and industrial wiring runs
• Factory-formed elbow ensures consistent bend radius and smooth interior for wire pulling
• Designed to maintain conduit system integrity and electrical continuity

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement fitting compatible with standard 3-inch EMT conduit systems installed per NEC requirements.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a licensed electrician. De-energize all circuits in the work area before beginning conduit assembly. Secure the elbow to the conduit using approved set-screw or compression-style couplings as required by the installation spec. Follow applicable NEC articles governing EMT conduit installation, support spacing, and fitting use in wet or dry locations.
