Overview

The ABB BC5-G PVC Double-Coated Mogul Conduit Body (SKU: BC5-G) is a heavy-duty conduit fitting designed for industrial electrical systems requiring robust conduit protection and efficient conductor management. Engineered for 1-1/2 inch (41 metric) conduit sizes, this straight, thru-feed conduit body provides a secure pathway for electrical wiring in demanding environments. Constructed from Class 30 gray iron with an electro-galvanized finish, the BC5-G delivers superior corrosion resistance and durability against harsh conditions, including wet locations. The integral PVC double-coating adds an extra layer of protection against moisture, chemicals, and physical abrasion, ensuring long-term reliability in commercial and industrial facilities. The tapered tapped hubs with integral bushings accommodate rigid threaded conduit, while the stainless steel cover screws and included gaskets ensure a secure, flametight joint when properly assembled. The extra-long cover opening facilitates easier pulling and splicing of large conductors, reducing installation time and minimizing risk of insulation damage. Ideal for use in conduit systems where stiff conductors or frequent maintenance access is required, the BC5-G prevents sharp bends and kinks in wiring, protecting conductor insulation during installation and future system modifications. This conduit body is suitable for applications in hazardous locations, including Class I, Divisions 1 and 2, Groups C, D; Class II, Divisions 1 and 2, Groups E, F, G; and Class III environments, as specified in the manufacturer's catalog. The BC5-G is a critical component for maintaining system integrity in power distribution, manufacturing plants, and industrial facilities where reliable conduit protection and conductor accessibility are essential.
