Southwire C9M Type C Conduit Body 3.5 in Malleable Iron

Product Description

The SOUTHWIRE C9M is a 3.5-inch malleable iron rigid threaded Type C conduit body designed for use in commercial and industrial electrical installations. Type C conduit bodies provide a straight-through pull point with access openings on both ends, allowing conductors to be pulled and spliced without dismantling the raceway system. The malleable iron construction offers durability in demanding environments. Licensed electricians install this fitting as part of rigid metal conduit (RMC) systems where raceway direction changes or conductor access is required at a straight run.

This conduit body is suited for 3.5-inch rigid metal conduit systems in commercial, industrial, and heavy-duty electrical applications. It is a threaded fitting, making it compatible with standard NPT-threaded rigid conduit and fittings. Typical installation scenarios include long straight conduit runs where NEC-required pull points must be provided, junction access in exposed conduit systems, and locations where future conductor replacement or inspection access is anticipated.

Key Features

• Malleable iron construction provides impact resistance and durability in industrial environments
• Type C configuration allows straight-through conductor pulls with removable cover access
• Threaded hubs accept standard NPT-threaded 3.5-inch rigid conduit
• Sized for 3.5-inch trade size conduit systems

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard fitting for 3.5-inch rigid metal conduit (RMC) threaded 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 and verify the absence of voltage before working on or near the conduit system. Thread the conduit body onto the conduit ends using appropriate pipe wrenches, taking care not to cross-thread the fittings. Ensure the cover and gasket are properly seated and secured after conductor pulling or splicing is complete.
