Overview

The ABB X58 BlueKote Form 8 Conduit Body (SKU: X58) is a 1-1/2 inch conduit body designed for use with Rigid and IMC conduit systems. Constructed from gray iron with zinc plating and a baked-on epoxy powder coat, this conduit body provides corrosion resistance and durability in industrial environments. The internal BlueKote coating enhances protection against moisture and contaminants, extending service life in harsh conditions. This Form 8 conduit body features a threaded hub design compatible with Rigid/IMC conduit sizes, ensuring secure mechanical connections. The zinc and epoxy powder coat finish delivers both sacrificial and barrier protection, reducing the risk of rust and corrosion in outdoor or chemically aggressive installations. The gray iron material provides high mechanical strength for load-bearing applications, while the BlueKote internal coating resists chemical attack and abrasion. Common applications include industrial plants, commercial buildings, utility installations, and infrastructure projects requiring reliable conduit body solutions. The X58 is part of ABB’s BlueKote line, known for enhanced corrosion protection in electrical distribution systems. For conduit bodies where longevity and corrosion resistance are critical, the ABB X58 provides a proven, field-tested solution.
