Overview

The ABB C28 BlueKote Thru-Feed Form 8 Conduit Body is a precision-engineered component for Rigid and Intermediate Metal Conduit (IMC) systems, designed to simplify wire pulling, conduit routing, and system maintenance. Constructed from durable gray iron with a triple-layer protective coating system—zinc plating, baked-on epoxy powder coat, and BlueKote internal coating—this conduit body delivers superior corrosion resistance and abrasion protection. The exterior zinc and epoxy layers provide a robust barrier against environmental factors, while the BlueKote internal coating reduces friction during wire pulls, minimizing conductor damage and installation effort. The Form 8 configuration is optimized for thru-feed applications, allowing smooth directional changes in conduit runs without disassembly. This 3/4-inch conduit body includes a pre-installed cover with encapsulated stainless steel screws, ensuring a secure, tamper-resistant enclosure. Ideal for industrial, commercial, and utility installations requiring reliable conduit connections and long-term performance. Compatible with Rigid and IMC conduit systems, the C28 supports efficient wire management, splicing, and future system modifications.
