Thomas Betts AC-3 C Body Conduit Body 1 Inch Imc Rigid

Product Description

The THOMAS BETTS AC-3 is a C-style aluminum conduit body designed for use with 1-inch trade size IMC and rigid metallic conduit systems. It features an oval form factor with an overall assembly length of 5-15/16 inches and an internal volume capacity of 11.8 cubic inches. The cast aluminum construction provides durable, weather-resistant performance suitable for both exposed and protected installations. Licensed electricians and electrical contractors install this conduit body when pulling wire through conduit runs that require an access point, directional change, or splice location.

This C body conduit body is suited for commercial and residential electrical installations where IMC or rigid aluminum conduit is specified. The C configuration provides a straight-through pull with a single side opening, making it a common choice for wire pulling access along conduit runs in walls, ceilings, and exposed raceway systems. Its weather-resistant construction makes it appropriate for indoor and outdoor applications where moisture exposure is a factor.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed electrician in accordance with the National Electrical Code (NEC) and applicable local codes. De-energize the circuit and verify it is locked out and tagged out before opening any conduit body or accessing conductors. Ensure conductor fill does not exceed the 11.8 cubic inch rated capacity when planning wire routing. Cover plates or gaskets should be secured properly after pulling to maintain the weather-resistant rating of the assembly.
