Electrical Fittings

This is the restock aisle of the conduit department, 235 general purpose electrical fittings bought by material, size, and pack count rather than by glamour. Page one runs Arlington fittings in plastic, steel, and die-cast zinc, including a UV-rated plastic option, in contractor packs of 25, 50, 100, and 500, alongside Orbit screw and anchor service kits, some with the masonry drill bit included.

Sorting Electrical Fittings by Material, Size, and Pack

Fitting names here are deliberately plain, often just a material and a trade size, so the buying discipline is to read the photo and the specification block on each listing rather than the name. Material, the size stamped on it, and what the piece actually clamps or covers are the three facts that matter, and the listing carries all three.

The specialized families keep their own aisles, so set-screw and compression pieces for steel tubing live in EMT fittings rather than here.

Material follows exposure. Plastic keeps cost down indoors, the UV-rated version survives sunlight, steel takes abuse in mechanical rooms, and die-cast zinc splits the difference for everyday metallic work.

Pack Counts and the Economics of the Bin

The 25, 50, 100, and 500 counts on this page exist because these parts are consumed, not selected. A crew burns through them at a rate that makes the per-piece price of a 500 pack the quiet line item that decides whether the van's bins cost money or save it, and the free shipping threshold at 2,000 dollars rewards folding fitting restocks into fixture orders.

The Orbit kits work the same way for fasteners, bundling screws with matched anchors, and in the masonry versions the correct drill bit, so mounting a box on block does not stall over a missing consumable.

Where the Specific Families Live

When the job names an exact termination, the sibling collections answer faster than scrolling here. Pulls and direction changes in a raceway route through conduit bodies, which put an openable back on the corner.

Sealed cable entries into an enclosure are the province of cable glands, where strain relief and ingress rating drive the pick.

The raceway's end treatment, smoothing, bonding, or stepping down a knockout, belongs to conduit and grounding bushings.

And the splices themselves close with wire connectors, at which point the assembly is conductor work, which stays with a licensed electrician from the first termination all the way through the inspection that closes the job.

Electrical Fitting Questions

The product names are vague, how do I order the right piece?

Treat the name as a shelf label and the listing as the spec. The photo, the trade size, and the material line identify the part exactly, and when a detail is still unclear, sending the part number in a quote request settles it before a 500 pack ships.

When is die-cast zinc the right material?

For ordinary dry-location metallic work where steel's strength is not required and plastic's look or grounding limits rule it out. Zinc castings machine to clean threads and keep cost predictable, which is why so much everyday fitting stock is made from them.

What makes a fitting UV-rated?

A plastic compound stabilized against sunlight, so the part does not chalk and crack after seasons outdoors. Ordinary plastic fittings are an indoor product, and the UV-rated Arlington option exists precisely for the exposed runs where cheap plastic fails early.

Are the screw kits electrical-specific?

They are assembled for electrical mounting jobs, device screws in the machine-thread kit, and anchor pairs sized for boxes and straps in the others. Nothing stops broader use, but the counts and sizes are chosen around securing electrical hardware to drywall and masonry.
