Brass Conduit Fittings

A conduit body can be used to provide pulling access in a run of conduit, to allow more bends to be made in a particular section of conduit, to conserve space where a full size bend radius would be impractical or impossible, or to split a conduit path into multiple directions. Conductors may not be spliced inside a conduit body, unless it is specifically listed for such use. Despite the similarity to pipes used in plumbing, purpose-designed electrical fittings are used to connect conduit.
