From Conduit Bodies to Fittings: Building a Complete EMT or Rigid Cart
Sep 28, 2026
A conduit body shortage rarely travels alone. After LB, LL, LR, C, or T lands on the PO, the same job still needs couplings, connectors, locknuts, bushings, grounding bushings, straps, or hangers. Conversions Tech is set up so the body order can lead the fittings order.
Start with bodies (about 60 SKUs)
- UL Listed copper-free aluminum, NEMA 3R
- 1/2 inch through 2 inch
- Threaded NPT and set-screw EMT
- Form 7 style crosses on threaded pages; Appleton E-series style on set-screw pages
- Landing · Collection
Then fittings (144 SKUs)
Categories in the wider fittings line include compression and set-screw couplings and connectors, threadless rigid compression fittings, locknuts, bushings, grounding bushings, straps, and hangers. Fittings pages carry RACO and Bridgeport style cross references.
Summary table: starter logic (no fake SKUs)
| Raceway path | Body system | Fittings direction |
|---|---|---|
| EMT commercial | Set-screw bodies | EMT set-screw or compression fittings as the job specs |
| Rigid / IMC | Threaded NPT bodies | Rigid fittings, locknuts, bushings, straps as needed |
| Mixed rack | Split PO by system | Do not mix thread systems on one line item without labels |
Exact SKU picks belong on the live catalog. This article does not invent part numbers beyond the categories given.

Fulfillment
Mid hundreds of most body sizes in stock. Same-day shipping on in-stock items. Confirm fittings stock on each product page the same way.
Who this helps
Contractors building a shortage list. Distributors rebuilding a bay. Panel shops and OEMs standardizing a small approved set. Solar and EV crews pulling repeat sizes.
FAQ
Can I check out bodies and fittings on one order?
Yes when both are in the catalog cart. Start on the bodies landing page, then add fittings SKUs.
Do fittings use Form 7 style numbers?
Fittings use RACO and Bridgeport style crosses on their pages. Bodies use Form 7 style or Appleton E-series style crosses as applicable.

Next steps
Build bodies on conduit bodies, verify crosses, then expand into fittings from the catalog with your trade account on trade application.
Sample cart logic for a 3/4 inch EMT job (illustrative categories only)
Set-screw LB and LL bodies in 3/4 inch as the print demands. EMT couplings and connectors as specified. Locknuts and bushings as specified. Straps and hangers as the support schedule demands. Exact SKUs come from the live catalog.
Sample cart logic for rigid
Threaded LB or T bodies per print. Rigid fittings and threadless compression where specified. Locknuts, bushings, grounding bushings as required. Straps and hangers.
Why attach rate matters
One shipment that clears bodies and fittings reduces freight drama and missing pieces on the slab. CT’s 60 body SKUs plus 144 fittings SKUs exist so the second source cart can be complete enough to matter.
PA note on crosses across categories
Do not assume a Form 7 style body cross teaches a RACO style fitting cross. Each product page carries its own reference line. Teach buyers to read the page they are on.
Close the loop with trade
If the cart is weekly, list pricing leaves money on the table. Apply for trade. Questions to CS@ConversionsTech.com or 1 (307) 206-0534.
Receiving dock notes
Bodies and fittings in one shipment should be sorted by job before they hit the gang box. Label EMT versus rigid. Keep covers protected. Photograph packing list against the PO.
Returns and wrong system buys
Most wrong buys are system mistakes, not brand mistakes. Threaded versus set-screw training prevents returns better than any discount. Use the threaded versus set-screw article in onboarding packs.
Expanding beyond this spearhead
Once bodies and core fittings stick, the same trade account path supports the wider CT catalog. Do not boil the ocean on day one. Nail conduit bodies, attach fittings, then widen.
Final cart QA
Bodies match print. Fittings match system. Crosses read. Trade tier applied. Ship method selected. CS contact saved. Then submit.
