Southwire ELL8 3 Inch Aluminum Set Screw Emt Elbow

Product Description

The SOUTHWIRE ELL8 is a 3-inch aluminum set screw elbow fitting designed for use with EMT (electrical metallic tubing) conduit systems. This elbow provides a secure, low-profile connection point where conduit must change direction, maintaining raceway integrity without threading. The aluminum construction keeps weight low while delivering solid conductivity for grounding continuity. Electricians install this fitting in commercial and industrial conduit runs where rigid direction changes are required and where a corrosion-resistant, lightweight metal fitting is preferred over steel alternatives.

This fitting is suited for interior and sheltered exterior EMT installations in both new construction and retrofit electrical work. The set screw design allows for fast, tool-accessible installation without the need for coupling wrenches or pipe threaders. It is typically used in branch circuit conduit runs, panel feeds, and equipment connections where a 90-degree turn is required on 3-inch EMT conduit. This product is appropriate for licensed electricians working under NEC-compliant installations.

Key Features

• 3-inch trade size for direct compatibility with 3-inch EMT conduit
• Aluminum body construction for lightweight, corrosion-resistant performance
• Set screw termination style for fast, secure installation without threading
• Maintains grounding continuity throughout the conduit system
• Designed for NEC-compliant EMT raceway installations

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style fitting for use with standard 3-inch EMT conduit in residential, commercial, and light industrial electrical raceway systems.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed electrician in accordance with applicable NEC requirements. De-energize all circuits before working on any conduit system. Tighten set screws with the appropriate hex key or nut driver to ensure a secure mechanical and electrical bond. Inspect conduit ends for burrs before seating the elbow to avoid damage to wire insulation during pull-through.
