Southwire ELE-30045 Emt Conduit Elbow 45 Degree 3 Inch

Product Description

The SOUTHWIRE ELE-30045 is a 3-inch, 45-degree EMT conduit elbow used to change the direction of electrical metallic tubing runs in commercial and residential wiring installations. This fitting allows electricians to route conduit around obstacles or make directional transitions while maintaining a smooth interior for wire pulling. The 45-degree angle reduces pull tension compared to sharper bends, making it a standard choice on longer conduit runs. Compatible with standard EMT conduit of the matching trade size, it is installed by licensed electricians during rough-in or conduit-system buildouts.

This elbow is suited for use in commercial, industrial, and residential electrical installations where EMT conduit systems are required. It is commonly used in exposed conduit runs along walls, ceilings, and structural members where a 45-degree change in direction is needed. The fitting is installed using standard EMT setscrew or compression couplings and connectors at each end. Electricians working under NEC guidelines will find this a straightforward, code-compliant fitting for EMT systems.

Key Features

• 45-degree bend angle reduces wire-pull tension on long conduit runs
• 3-inch trade size fits standard 3-inch EMT conduit
• Smooth interior bore supports clean wire and cable pulls
• Designed for use in standard EMT conduit raceway systems

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard fitment for 3-inch EMT conduit systems. Cross-references include Madison Electric ELE-30045 and Topaz 28.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a licensed electrician in accordance with NEC Article 358 governing electrical metallic tubing. De-energize all circuits in the work area before beginning conduit work. Secure the elbow to conduit using listed setscrew or compression fittings and support the conduit assembly per code-required spacing intervals. Avoid over-tightening fittings in a way that deforms the conduit end or elbow throat.
