Southwire T8M Malleable Iron Type T Conduit Body 3 in

Product Description

The SOUTHWIRE T8M is a 3-inch malleable iron rigid threaded Type T conduit body designed for use in commercial and industrial conduit systems. It provides three-way inline access, allowing electricians to splice conductors, pull wire, and redirect conduit runs at a single junction point. The malleable iron construction delivers high tensile strength and ductility, and the material resists corrosion and impact damage. Smooth, rounded integral bushings in each hub protect conductor insulation during wire pulls. The roomy interior maximizes available wiring space and simplifies conductor management in tight installations.

This Type T conduit body is suited for rigid metal conduit installations in both new construction and retrofit work. Typical applications include commercial electrical systems, industrial facilities, and utility service entry runs where conduit direction changes or mid-run access points are required. The threaded hubs accept standard rigid conduit fittings at 3-inch trade size. Licensed electricians install this fitting wherever the NEC requires conduit body access for conductor pull and splice points.

Key Features

• Three-way inline access supports wire pulling, splicing, and conduit direction changes at one fitting
• Malleable iron construction provides high tensile strength and ductility
• Corrosion- and impact-resistant material for demanding installation environments
• Smooth, rounded integral hub bushings protect conductor insulation
• Roomy interior maximizes wiring space for conductor management
• UL Listed

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard fitting for 3-inch rigid metal conduit threaded systems.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed electrician in accordance with NEC requirements for conduit body fill and conductor support. De-energize all circuits before opening or working within any conduit body. Use appropriate thread sealant or approved conduit fittings when making threaded connections to maintain system integrity. Do not exceed the conduit fill limits specified in NEC Article 314 for the conductors being installed.
