Conduit Outlet Body 1/2in Iron

The Bluekote C17 is a threaded conduit outlet body made from zinc-plated iron with a powder-coated gray finish. It accepts 1/2 inch trade size IMC or RMC conduit and provides a 90-degree connection orientation for pulling conductors. Two hubs and a flat back allow straight-through or corner routing in dry locations. A compatible 170F cover and gasket are included.

Sustained Load Behaviour

The iron construction and zinc-plated finish resist corrosion during long-term exposure to moisture and temperature cycling. Threaded hubs maintain mechanical grip on conduit without loosening from vibration. The powder coating adds a secondary barrier against surface oxidation. Body capacity of 4 cu in gives adequate space for conductor bends without crowding.

Installation Notes

Threaded hubs require standard conduit wrenches and thread sealant for a watertight joint. The flat back mounts directly to a box or surface with screws through the mounting lugs. Cover 170F fastens with captive screws; the gasket seats in the recessed flange. Misaligned threads or omitted sealant are the most common causes of leaks.

Questions about this item

How much heat does the iron conduit body generate when carrying current all day?

The iron body itself produces no heat; it simply houses the conductors and dissipates any warmth from the wires inside.

What cover and gasket must I already have to seal the 1/2-inch threaded hubs?

The outlet body includes a compatible 170F cover and gasket, so no separate cover or gasket purchase is required.

Will this C-style body connect directly to the older IMC and RMC conduit I already have installed?

Yes, it is designed for 1/2-inch trade size IMC and RMC with matching threaded hubs.
