Product Definition
The ALEX® Metallic Service Entrance Cap (Clamp Type), also known as a Weatherhead, is a critical protective fitting installed at the top of an electrical conduit riser. Its primary function is to prevent rain, snow, and debris from entering the conduit system while protecting overhead service entrance wires where they enter a building.
The Clamp-on design allows for secure attachment to unthreaded conduits (such as EMT) without the need for threading tools, ensuring a stable and weather-resistant connection in outdoor industrial and residential environments.
Key Features & Benefits
Weather Protection: Designed with a hood to block water ingress, protecting the internal wiring from short circuits and corrosion.
Secure Installation: The built-in heavy-duty clamp ensures the cap remains firmly fixed to the conduit, even under wind load or vibration.
High Durability: Manufactured from high-grade metallic alloy (Aluminum/Zinc) to resist rust and weathering over long-term outdoor exposure.
Versatile Use: Suitable for use with overhead power distribution in commercial and industrial facilities.
