Overview

The ABB BlueKote Form 7 Conduit Body, SKU X57, is a high-durability conduit body engineered for 1-1/2 inch Rigid and IMC conduit systems in industrial electrical installations. Constructed from gray iron with a triple-layer protective coating system—zinc plating, baked-on epoxy powder coat exterior, and BlueKote internal coating—this conduit body delivers superior corrosion resistance and extended service life in harsh environments. The BlueKote internal coating reduces friction during wire pulling, minimizing abrasion and simplifying installation while maintaining a smooth raceway for conductors. Available in multiple hub sizes and shapes (LB, T, C series), the X57 model is optimized for 1-1/2 inch conduit applications, ensuring compatibility with standard Rigid and IMC systems. The robust construction and protective coatings make it ideal for use in corrosive, wet, or high-wear industrial settings where reliability and longevity are critical. Compatible with ABB T&B Fittings BlueKote conduit body series, this product integrates seamlessly with existing industrial electrical infrastructure.
