Southwire ELB8 3 Inch Aluminum Set Screw Emt Elbow

Product Description

The SOUTHWIRE ELB8 is a 3-inch aluminum set screw elbow fitting designed for use with EMT (electrical metallic tubing) conduit systems. This elbow provides a smooth directional change in conduit runs, maintaining conductor protection and raceway integrity. Weighing 6 pounds, the fitting is machined from aluminum for corrosion resistance and long service life. It is installed by licensed electricians during new construction, renovation, and industrial wiring projects where EMT conduit changes direction. The set screw securing method allows for fast, tool-ready installation without the need for threaded connections.

This fitting is suited for commercial and industrial electrical installations where 3-inch EMT conduit systems are routed around structural elements, through walls, or along ceilings. The aluminum construction keeps weight manageable on overhead runs and in environments where ferrous metals may be prone to oxidation. Electricians working on large-scale panel feeds, service entrance raceways, and branch circuit distribution commonly use fittings of this type in conduit assemblies.

Key Features

• 3-inch trade size for compatibility with standard 3-inch EMT conduit
• Aluminum construction provides corrosion resistance and reduced weight
• Set screw securing method for fast, secure conduit attachment
• Smooth interior bore protects conductor insulation through directional changes
• Suitable for use in commercial and industrial EMT raceway systems

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard fitting for use with 3-inch EMT conduit in commercial and industrial electrical raceway installations.

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 raceway before beginning work. Secure the set screws firmly using the appropriate hex key or driver to ensure a solid mechanical and electrical bond between the fitting and conduit. Inspect the interior bore for burrs or debris before pulling conductors to prevent insulation damage.
