Cooper Crouse-Hinds C28 Condulet Form 8 Conduit Outlet
Overview
The Cooper Crouse-Hinds C28 is a Condulet Form 8 conduit outlet body designed for straight-through rigid conduit runs that need generous internal volume for heavier conductors, splicing, or tapping. Sized for 3/4-inch trade conduit with two in-line hubs, the C28 is a Type C body, meaning both hub openings sit on the same axis – the configuration used wherever a conduit run needs a straight pull outlet, an inspection point, or a legal splice location without introducing a bend. Its Form 8 body style provides substantially more interior room than a standard Form 5 fitting of the same trade size, which matters when a run carries larger-gauge conductors, multiple circuits, or thick insulation that would otherwise crowd a smaller enclosure.
As the official authorized partner and exclusive regional representative for Cooper Crouse-Hinds, Seven Star LLC proudly supplies the C28 Condulet Form 8 conduit outlet to contractors, EPC firms, and plant maintenance teams across the Sultanate of Oman and the wider GCC. Every unit dispatched from our Muscat-based warehouse is genuine Crouse-Hinds stock with full manufacturer traceability and technical backup – essential assurance for engineers specifying conduit systems on oil and gas, power generation, and heavy industrial projects where fitting integrity cannot be compromised.
Operating Principle
Like other Condulet outlet bodies, the C28 is a passive raceway component, but its Form 8 geometry is a deliberate engineering response to conductor fill limits set by electrical code. Where a Form 5 body might be adequate for lighter circuits, the extra internal cross-section of a Form 8 body allows larger conductors, additional circuits, or bulkier insulation systems to be pulled, bent to the required minimum radius, and terminated without exceeding safe fill percentages. The two straight-through hubs use tapered NPT threads with integral bushings that protect conductor insulation as wire is drawn through the casting, and the gasketed cover interface keeps the enclosure sealed against dust and moisture once conductors are terminated.
The practical result is a conduit body that functions as both a mechanical pull point and a legal splice or tap enclosure, with no moving parts and no maintenance requirement beyond periodic inspection of the cover gasket. Because the body accepts a standard bolted or screw-on Form 8 cover, technicians can reopen the fitting at any time during the life of the installation to inspect terminations, add a tap, or re-pull conductors – a capability that matters on long-term industrial assets across Oman where conduit systems are expected to remain serviceable for decades under harsh coastal and desert conditions.
Engineering Design of the Cooper Crouse-Hinds C28
The C28 is cast from Feraloy, a Crouse-Hinds proprietary iron alloy selected for its combination of mechanical strength and corrosion resistance in demanding industrial environments. The casting receives a dual finish – electro-galvanized plating beneath an aluminum acrylic paint topcoat – that gives the fitting substantially better long-term corrosion performance than a single-layer finish, an important factor for conduit runs exposed to the humidity, salt spray, and temperature swings typical of Gulf coastal industrial sites.
Physically, the C28 measures approximately 6.28 inches in length, 1.69 inches in height, and 1.19 inches in width, with two 3/4-inch tapered NPT hubs on a common axis and a weight of roughly 1.44 lb. The fitting is rated NEMA 12 for protection against dust, dirt, and non-corrosive liquid splash, and it is listed to UL 514B, built to Federal Specification W-C-586D, and certified under CSA C22.2 No. 18 – the recognized standards referenced across most Gulf-region EPC electrical specifications for conduit bodies used on rigid metal conduit systems.
Key Features
The Cooper Crouse-Hinds C28 pairs a rugged Feraloy iron alloy casting with a generously sized Form 8 interior, and the following features summarize why it is specified across heavy industrial and utility conduit systems in Oman and the GCC.
- Feraloy iron alloy body construction delivers high mechanical strength for demanding industrial and outdoor conduit installations.
- Form 8 design provides extra interior room compared to standard Form 5 bodies, accommodating heavier conductors and additional circuits.
- Electro-galvanized plating beneath an aluminum acrylic paint finish gives dual-layer corrosion protection in humid and coastal environments.
- 3/4-inch trade size, two in-line hubs configured for straight-through Type C conduit runs.
- Tapered NPT threaded hubs with integral bushings protect conductor insulation during installation and future maintenance.
- NEMA 12 rating protects against dust, dirt, and non-corrosive liquid splash on industrial floor and outdoor installations.
- Listed to UL 514B and built to Federal Specification W-C-586D, meeting the standards referenced in most regional EPC specifications.
- CSA C22.2 No. 18 certified and NEC/CEC compliant, supporting both North American and Gulf-region project code requirements.
Industrial Applications
The C28 is specified wherever a straight-through 3/4-inch rigid conduit run needs a splice, tap, or pull point with more interior room than a standard body provides. Typical placements include motor and pump feeder circuits, lighting and power distribution runs in process and utility areas, instrumentation conduit routing where multiple signal cables share a raceway, and long straight conduit runs across process units where periodic access points are required by code for conductor management and inspection.
As the officially authorized partner for Cooper Crouse-Hinds, Seven Star LLC distributes the C28 Condulet Form 8 conduit outlet to EPC contractors and maintenance departments serving oil and gas facilities, power generation plants, RO desalination stations, and heavy industrial developments throughout Muscat, Sohar, and Salalah, as well as across the broader GCC. Our regional stock holding and authorized supply chain give specifiers and site engineers a dependable source of genuine C28 fittings on short lead times, avoiding the compliance exposure that comes with unverified grey-market conduit bodies on projects where UL listing and manufacturer traceability are contractual requirements.
