1/2" COMBO HANDY ELB

1/2" COMBO HANDY ELB (Product Description)

A 1/2-inch combo handy elbow is a metal conduit pulling elbow used to make a 90° turn from conduit into an electrical box, designed for EMT and rigid conduit systems and built to make wire pulling easier in tight spaces.

Product Description

This is a 1/2" trade-size combination (combo) handy elbow used in electrical conduit installations where a right-angle turn is required into a box or enclosure.

The term “combo” means it is compatible with multiple conduit types, typically:

• EMT (Electrical Metallic Tubing)
• Rigid conduit

The “handy elbow” design includes a removable cover and gasket, allowing electricians to pull wires through a smooth internal bend radius instead of forcing conductors through a sharp 90° turn.

This fitting is commonly used in commercial and industrial conduit systems where space is tight and wire pulling access is needed.

Manufacturers like Arlington and Raco make versions such as the HL5000 series and similar pulling elbows.
