Overview

The ABB Installation Products AC-9 is a 3-1/2 inch threaded die-cast aluminum thru-feed conduit body designed for use with Rigid and IMC conduit systems. This conduit body provides a durable, corrosion-resistant junction point for conduit runs, ensuring reliable electrical continuity and mechanical protection in industrial and commercial installations. Constructed from die-cast aluminum, the AC-9 offers superior strength-to-weight ratio compared to traditional cast iron or steel alternatives, reducing installation labor while maintaining structural integrity. The threaded design ensures a secure, leak-tight connection with Rigid and IMC conduit, preventing moisture ingress and maintaining system integrity in harsh environments. The thru-feed configuration allows for straight-line conduit routing, minimizing bends and reducing pressure drop in conduit systems. This design is ideal for applications requiring efficient cable pulling, such as power distribution, motor control centers, and industrial machinery installations. The 3-1/2 inch size accommodates standard Rigid/IMC conduit sizes, making it a versatile choice for both new construction and retrofit projects.
