Eaton Crouse-Hinds C78 Condulet Form 8 NEMA 12
Part Number: C78
Quick Summary
Eaton Crouse-Hinds C78 conduit outlet body provides rugged Form 8 terminations for industrial enclosures. Maintenance teams struggle with corrosion, limited wiring space, and difficult pulls in harsh environments. This model delivers NEMA 12 protection, NEC/CEC compliance, and Ordinary/Non-Hazardous area classification for safe, code-compliant installations. Designed for a 2-1/2" trade size with Feraloy iron alloy, it minimizes field labor while maximizing durability. For panel builders and integrators, this means faster wiring, fewer field call-backs, and lower lifecycle costs across critical control panels and distribution enclosures.

FAQs
Installation best practices include planning for the 2-1/2" trade size, aligning the Form 8 conduit body with the enclosure opening, and using appropriate gaskets and mounting hardware. The form factor and dimensions (length 15.63 in, height 4.44 in, width 5 in) facilitate straightforward alignment in standard panels, while the Feraloy iron alloy provides durable mounting points and improved sealing under wash-down conditions. Always consult the Eaton specification sheet for torque recommendations and wiring access guidelines.
The C78 Condulet Form 8 is rated for Ordinary/Non-Hazardous locations and complies with NEC/CEC standards, offering robust protection typical of NEMA 12 enclosures. It is not rated for hazardous (Class I, II, III) environments. For projects requiring hazardous-location ratings, select alternative products within the Crouse-Hinds/Form 8 family that specify appropriate approvals and certifications.
Key certifications include NEC/CEC compliance and a NEMA 12 rating, indicating moisture and dust protection suitable for ordinary locations and wash-down conditions. The product also supports Canadian certification references for metallic outlet boxes and aligns with standard industry practices for Condulet Form 8 components, aiding cross-border deployments and regulatory adherence.
The C78 is manufactured from Feraloy iron alloy, delivering exceptional abrasion resistance and corrosion protection. This material choice translates to longer service life in demanding environments, reduced maintenance frequency, and lower total cost of ownership for equipment enclosures, control panels, and distribution cabinets used in process industries and heavy manufacturing.
Using the C78 Condulet Form 8 body streamlines wiring access and mounting due to its standardized Form 8 design and 2-1/2" trade size, reducing field labor and rework. The durable construction minimizes replacement cycles, and certified compliance mitigates regulatory risk, delivering a faster return on investment for panel builders, integrators, and maintenance teams across multiple facilities.
