Overview

The ABB T87 3-inch Form 7 Conduit Body is a robust, corrosion-resistant solution engineered for Rigid and IMC conduit systems in industrial and commercial electrical installations. Manufactured by ABB Installation Products (SKU T87), this conduit body features a gray iron construction with zinc plating and a baked-on epoxy powder coat finish, delivering superior protection against environmental factors. The internal surface is treated with BlueKote®, a specialized PTFE-based coating that reduces friction during wire pulling, simplifying installation and protecting conductors. The Form 7 configuration allows for directional changes and easy access to conductors for pulling and maintenance, making it ideal for applications requiring reliable conduit connections. Compatible with standard NPT threads and integral bushings, the T87 ensures wire insulation protection while maintaining system integrity. Its interchangeability with other manufacturers' Form 7 bodies and covers enhances flexibility in system design and upgrades. The conduit body is designed for use in conduit systems to connect sections, act as pull outlets, provide access for splices, make 90° bends, and serve as mounting outlets for wiring devices and lighting fixtures. With a UNSPSC code of 39131708, the T87 is a dependable choice for ensuring the longevity and performance of your electrical conduit infrastructure.
