ERC50 Conduit Outlet Body

The Appleton Century Crofts ERC50 is a 1/2-inch trade size conduit outlet body designed for rigid metal conduit systems. It suits electricians and installers running power or control wiring in commercial or industrial environments. The iron construction with triple-coat epoxy finish supports both indoor and outdoor installations. Hazardous-location rating extends its use to classified areas.

Installation and Common Issues

Threaded hubs accept standard 1/2-inch RMC fittings for straight connection orientation. The flat back simplifies mounting against walls or enclosures. A cover is included, eliminating a separate purchase. The 4.8 cu in body capacity limits the number and size of conductors; overfilling is the typical code violation. Verify fill calculations before pulling wire.

Capacity and Headroom

The 4.8 cubic-inch interior accommodates a modest conductor count for 1/2-inch trade size runs. It handles typical lighting and control circuits comfortably. Larger feeder cables or multiple circuits will exceed the available volume quickly. For those needs, a larger trade size or a different body style with greater capacity is required.

Questions about this item

How can I verify the ERC50 conduit outlet body is correctly installed?

After threading the 1/2 in hub onto rigid metal conduit, confirm the flat back sits flush, the triple-coat epoxy finish shows no damage, and the included cover seals the 4.8 cu in body cavity.

What components come with the ERC50 and what must be purchased separately?

The outlet body includes its cover; you must supply 1/2 in rigid metal conduit, threaded fittings, and mounting hardware for the flat-back design.

Which version of the ERC50 should I select for my conduit run?

Only the 1/2 in trade size with C-style body and straight threaded orientation is offered; choose it when your run uses 1/2 in RMC indoors or outdoors.
