90° Hazardous-Location Elbow

The Appleton Century Crofts ELMF90-50-A is a 90-degree conduit elbow built for hazardous locations. It connects 1/2-inch threaded rigid metal conduit or IMC using a female-to-male NPT thread orientation. The copper-free aluminium body carries Class I Division 1 and 2, Groups A through D, Class II Division 1 and 2, Groups E through G, and Class III ratings. This fitting suits industrial and commercial installations where explosion-proof connections are required.

Verify Conduit and Thread Compatibility

Confirm that your existing raceway uses 1/2-inch trade-size threaded RMC or IMC before ordering. The fitting accepts a 1/2-inch female NPT on one end and a 1/2-inch male NPT on the other, so both conduit ends must be cut and threaded to match. Ensure the hazardous-area classification of the site aligns with the listed Class and Group ratings. No other conduit types or thread forms are supported by this elbow.

Replaces Standard Elbows in Classified Areas

This elbow replaces ordinary 90-degree conduit bodies when the installation falls under NEC hazardous-location rules. The jump is worth it whenever code demands fittings marked for Class I, II or III divisions and the conduit run must change direction in a 1/2-inch system. It is not for buyers who need a larger trade size, a different bend radius, or a fitting approved for non-threaded conduit systems.

Questions about this item

What comes in the box with the ELMF90-50-A elbow, and do I need any extra parts to install it?

The box contains the 90° conduit elbow itself; no additional components are included, so you will need compatible 1/2" IMC or threaded RMC conduit and appropriate hazardous-location sealant or locknuts for the installation.

Should I choose the ELMF90-50-A or another version for a 1/2" hazardous-location run?

The ELMF90-50-A is the only model listed for 1/2" trade size with Class I Division 1 and 2, Groups A–D and Class II Division 1 and 2, Groups E–G ratings, so select it when those hazardous-location approvals are required.

What does the 90° rating mean once the elbow is fitted in a real conduit system?

The 90° orientation changes the conduit direction by a right angle while maintaining the hazardous-location seal between 1/2" FNPT and 1/2" MNPT ends, allowing a tight turn in Class I, II and III areas without compromising the approval.
