Material strength is the core feature of the FDM1 HDG, with malleable iron providing rugged durability that translates directly into reduced risk from impact, vibration, and everyday use in industrial environments. The business impact is clear: fewer field failures and lower maintenance costs, enabling more consistent uptime for critical equipment. This makes the enclosure ideal for control panels where reliability matters, such as motor starters or automation racks, while keeping wiring organized and protected in harsh factory settings. The hot dip galvanized finish adds a robust corrosion barrier, delivering longer service life in damp or outdoor areas and helping facilities meet compliance expectations without frequent part replacements. In practice, this means longer intervals between maintenance cycles and lower total cost of ownership for machinery fleets. The box is designed for a deep, single-gang FD installation that accommodates 1/2" trades, supporting neat cable routing and easier wire management during panel assembly. Compatibility with the Condulet FD family ensures plug-and-play installation with existing fittings, reducing or eliminating rework. From a project perspective, the 5.3 in length, 2.87 in height, and 2.86 in width create predictable form factors that fit standard control panel footprints, improving modularity and spare-part planning. The device box’s weight of 2.78 lb contributes to straightforward handling and installation on elevated or constrained work sites, where weight distribution matters. For compliance-driven buyers, NEC/CEC alignment guarantees code-conformant enclosure protection, while CSA and UL certifications corroborate cross-border applicability and safety assurance for ordinary locations. In short, the FDM1 HDG delivers dependable protection for 1/2" conduit runs in a cost-efficient, upgrade-friendly package that supports ongoing productivity and regulatory confidence.

FAQs

The FDM1 HDG is designed for 1/2" trade size conduits and a single-gang footprint, fitting standard Condulet FD fittings and enabling straightforward wiring routes. Its deep profile provides room for conductors and connectors, reducing installation time and the need for additional spacers or adapters. Engineers should verify panel clearance and mounting orientation prior to assembly to minimize fit issues and ensure optimal seal integrity.
The box uses malleable iron with a hot dip galvanized finish, delivering superior corrosion resistance in ordinary locations as defined by NEC/CEC. This combination reduces corrosion-related maintenance and extends service life in damp or mildly aggressive environments, which translates to lower lifecycle costs and fewer field replacements in typical plant or shop floors.
Yes. The FDM1 HDG carries NEC/CEC compliance and is UL-listed along with CSA certifications, supporting usage in ordinary/non-hazardous locations. This certification mix provides confidence for projects that span the US and Canada, simplifies procurement, and helps ensure adherence to electrical codes across regions.
Absolutely. Being a Condulet FD device box, it is designed for seamless compatibility with standard Condulet FD fittings and covers. This compatibility streamlines system upgrades or panel modernization projects, reduces the risk of mismatched components, and supports modular expansion without stockouts.
Durable hot-dip galvanized steel and malleable iron construction minimize corrosion and mechanical wear, lowering maintenance frequency and non-scheduled downtime. The reliability improves first-pass assembly times, reduces rework, and extends service life in non-hazardous locations, delivering a favorable total cost of ownership in automation and electrical infrastructure projects.
