Abstract:
1. A conduit body for interconnecting conduit through which wires are routed, the conduit body comprising a hollow housing having only four ports through its side walls, each port having an axis, where the axis of a first and second of the four ports are coaxial with each other and the axis of a third port is not coaxial with the axis of the first and second ports and the axis of the third port does not intersect with the axis of the first and second ports but is offset from the axis of the first and second ports and therefor does not lie in a common plane with the coaxial axis of the first and second ports, the fourth port is an installation port through the conduit body side wall having its only purpose to access the interior of the conduit body to facilitate pulling wires through the conduit body, the fourth port being of a size and being positioned to easily pull wires input at any one of the first, second and third ports and to route the same wires to and out another one of the first, second and third ports; the fourth port having a removable cover, wherein the hollow housing of the conduit body has smooth walls with no obstructions between any of the three ports so that wires may be easily and safely routed in any one of the three ports and out any of the remaining two ports; and when conduit is connected to the first, second and third ports and there is other conduit that is adjacent to the conduit body, due to the offset of the third port from the first and second ports the conduit connected to the third port need not be bent in order to be clear of the other conduit.
