Southwire 6815 Grc Elbow 3 Inch 15 Degree

Product Description

The SOUTHWIRE 6815 is a 3-inch, 15-degree elbow fitting for Galvanized Rigid Conduit (GRC) systems. It provides a shallow directional change in rigid metal conduit runs, allowing conductors to transition at a 15-degree angle without sharp bends that could stress wire insulation. This type of fitting is standard in commercial and industrial electrical installations where conduit routing must navigate structural obstacles or align with equipment entry points. Licensed electricians install GRC elbows as part of complete raceway systems governed by NEC requirements for conductor protection and conduit support.

This elbow is suited for use in exposed or concealed rigid conduit installations in commercial buildings, industrial facilities, and infrastructure applications. The 15-degree bend angle is commonly used for minor directional offsets in conduit runs, particularly near panel entries, equipment knockouts, or structural transitions. It is appropriate for indoor and outdoor conduit systems where GRC is the specified raceway material.

Key Features

• 15-degree bend angle for shallow directional changes in conduit runs
• 3-inch trade size fits standard GRC conduit and fittings
• Galvanized steel construction provides corrosion resistance for exposed and outdoor-rated installations
• Compatible with standard GRC threaded connections

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard fitting for 3-inch Galvanized Rigid Conduit raceway 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 in the affected conduit run before beginning work. Use appropriate pipe wrenches and thread sealant rated for metallic conduit fittings when making threaded connections. Ensure conduit is properly supported and secured per NEC spacing requirements after fitting installation.
