Overview
The Gedney 3-46MAX is a Type X conduit body designed for use with 3/4″ rigid metal conduit (RMC) and intermediate metal conduit (IMC). This Gedney 3-46MAX body features a 75° angle configuration and robust malleable iron construction with a zinc-electroplated aluminum enamel finish. It provides a junction point for branching runs and direction changes in conduit systems while maintaining electrical continuity and conductor protection.
Key Features
- Type X configuration for 75° angle conduit bends and branch connections
- 3/4″ hub size compatible with standard rigid metal and intermediate metal conduit
- Malleable iron body with zinc electroplated aluminum enamel finish for corrosion resistance
- Tapered threaded FNPT (female national pipe tapered) hubs for secure, code-compliant installations
- UL 514A and CSA C22.2 certified for safety and standards compliance
- Smooth integral hub bushings protect wire and cable insulation
