Which type of conduit body allows for a pull point due to excessive bends?

The Type C conduit body is designed specifically to provide a pull point that accommodates situations where there are excessive bends in the raceway system. This type of conduit body has a straight-through opening combined with a side opening, which creates a pathway for conductors while also allowing for bending space. The inclusion of the side opening is crucial as it helps reduce the pulling tension on the wires when they are being installed, making it easier to pull conductors through sections of conduit that have multiple bends or tight turns.

This feature is particularly important in ensuring that the installation of electrical wires is efficient and helps to prevent damage to the conductors during installation. Instead of facing resistance due to tight angles or turns in the raceway, installers can utilize the additional space provided by a Type C conduit body to navigate the pull more effectively. Thus, when dealing with excessive bends, a Type C conduit body becomes an essential component in ensuring successful wire pulling and installation.
