Overview

The ABB AC-3 is a 1-inch threaded die-cast aluminum thru-feed conduit body designed for Rigid and Intermediate Metal Conduit (IMC) systems. This conduit body measures 5⅞ inches in length (A) and 1⁵⁄₁₆ inches in width (B), with a standard carton quantity of 25 units. Its die-cast aluminum construction provides corrosion resistance and mechanical strength, ensuring durability in industrial and commercial environments. The threaded design enables secure, watertight connections when properly installed, protecting electrical wiring from environmental contaminants and physical damage. The thru-feed configuration allows continuous conduit runs, simplifying wire pulling through bends and directional changes without requiring additional junction boxes. This conduit body is essential for maintaining electrical installation integrity, particularly in applications where conduit protection is critical. Compatible with standard 1-inch Rigid and IMC conduit systems, the AC-3 integrates seamlessly into new or existing electrical infrastructure, supporting efficient and reliable wire management.
