be third-party listed as meeting the requirements of UL standards SAES-P-104
A1
(UL 514A and UL 514B) as applicable, or approved equal standards). Sec. 4.1
[NFPA 70, NEC 344.6 and Annex A]

B. Material Requirements

Conduit and threaded conduit fittings shall have tapered (NPT) threads in SAES-P-104
B1
accordance with ANSI/ASME B1.20.1. Sec. 8.7

GRS Conduit Fittings:

Conduit fittings for outdoor rigid steel conduit and liquid-tight flexible
metal conduit shall be cast or forged steel, cast iron or malleable iron,
either hot-dip galvanized (preferably), or zinc electroplated as supplied
by the manufacturer. No aluminum fittings or fitting accessories such as
covers, sealing fitting plugs, etc., shall be used outdoor. Only malleable
iron sealing fittings shall be used. Gray cast iron split type (EYSR) retrofit
SAES-P-104
B2 sealing fittings may be used if required for repair purposes.
Sec. 8.9.1
Exception:
Rigid steel conduit and liquid-tight flexible metal conduit hubs
manufactured from zinc, that are UL or CSA listed (e.g., Myers Scru-Tite
hubs) are also acceptable. The selected paragraph shall be removed as
per SAES-P-104 Sec. 15.1 "Only malleable iron sealing fittings shall be
used. Gray cast iron split type (EYSR) retrofit sealing fittings may be
used if required for repair purposes".

Conduit fittings for rigid steel conduit and liquid-tight flexible metal
conduit used above ground in severe corrosive environments shall be as
specified in Paragraph 8.9.1 (Item B2 above), and in addition, shall be
protected by one of the following methods:
a) Factory-coating with PVC (minimum thickness of PVC: 40 mils) per

mating PVC surfaces shall be coated with PVC patching compound
(1000421977). Uncoated plugs and other bare metal shall be coated

SAES-P-104
B3 b) Field-coating prior to installation in accordance with SAES-H-101
Sec. 8.9.2
APCS-22 (offshore), or APCS-26 (onshore). Light (sweep)
sandblasting is required prior to coating so that the zinc is not
removed. After installation, any bare metal must be touched up
using either of the above coatings, without sandblasting.
c) By heat-shrinkable tubes or wrap-arounds, where the geometric
configuration permits it.
Exception:
Red leaded brass or silicon bronze conduit fittings may be used as an
alternative to the above in severe corrosive environments (only above
ground).

indicate the specific wiring device(s) intended to be used, covers shall be Sec. 5.2
designed to accept devices complying with the NEMA WD 6, Wiring
Devices, Dimensional Requirements.
[NEMA FB1 Sec. 3.3.2..2.4]

Conduit Bodies:
1. Conduit bodies shall be provided with integral external hubs.
2. A conduit body having an internal volume exceeding 1640 cm³ (100
cubic inches) shall have no provision for mounting switches, fuse-
SAES-P-100
B51 holders, or other control devices.

Conduit Bodies - Dimensions:

a) A conduit body shall have a cross-sectional area not less than twice
the cross-sectional area of the largest tubing or conduit that may be
attached to it.
b) A conduit body of 3/4 (21) trade size and larger that does not change
the direction of the wiring passing through it shall have a length at least
eight times the trade diameter of the largest raceway that can be
connected to it.
SAES-P-100
B52 c) A conduit body of 3/4 (21) trade size and larger that permits a change
Sec. 5.2
in the direction of the wiring passing through it shall have a distance
between each raceway entry and the opposite wall of the body at least
six times the trade diameter of the largest raceway that can be
connected to it plus the sum of the trade diameters of all other entries in
the same wall, except that where a raceway entry is in a wall opposite a
removable cover, the distance from that wall to the cover shall be
permitted to be no less than that specified in Table 3-5 (Attachment 14).
[NEMA FB1 Sec. 3.3.3.4]

The thickness of a conduit body cover shall be in accordance with Table SAES-P-100
B53
2-4 (Attachment 5). [NEMA FB1 Sec. 3.3.3.6] Sec. 5.2

Marking:
A conduit body that is intended for use with a specific combination of
conductors shall be permanently marked with the maximum number and
maximum size of the conductors for which it is
intended. The following conduit bodies need not comply with this
SAES-P-100
B54 requirement:
Sec. 5.2
a) A conduit body that will accommodate only 1/2 (16) trade size conduit.
b) A conduit body marked for use only with No. 6 AWG or smaller
conductors.
c) A conduit body complying with 3.3.3.4 (Item B52).
