Overview

The ABB T448 1-1/4" Form 8 T-Style Conduit Body is a precision-engineered junction point for Rigid and IMC conduit systems, designed to facilitate safe wire pulling, directional changes, and maintenance access in industrial and commercial electrical installations. Manufactured by ABB Installation Products (SKU: T448), this conduit body features a robust gray iron construction with a multi-layer protective coating system—including zinc plating and a baked-on epoxy powder coat—for superior corrosion resistance in harsh environments. The internal BlueKote® coating reduces friction during wire pulls, minimizing damage to conductors while ensuring long-term reliability. The Form 8 configuration provides specific access and pulling capabilities, making it ideal for applications requiring 90° bends in conduit runs or branch conductor splices. Retained deep-slotted stainless steel cover screws enable faster installation and maintenance, while clear cubic content markings streamline inspector approvals. Suitable for connecting conduit sections, acting as pull outlets, or providing access for future wiring changes, this conduit body is a critical component in maintaining the integrity and safety of electrical systems.
