J-Box vs Condulette
J-Box vs Condulette
(OP)
.
I wonder if someone could explain under what conditions one would spec/use/install a condulette (conduit body) rather than a standard j-box or pull box in a commercial bldg? Is it perhaps based on the number of wires to be spliced? Is there a magic number?
Also are there specific advantages/condition for the use of one or the other?
Thanks again for any help...

Thx David
So a conduit body is only there to facilitate the pull and change direction abruptly, not for a splice...that makes sense. I couldn't see the reason to use one before since a J-box seemed simpler, even for a change in direction (if there were a splice).
Thx again
