Conduit body cover

Where can I find the gray conduit caps that have 2 screws for the outside junction boxes ? I see metal ones but no plastic ones in local stores .

You will need to purchase the conduit body and use the cover if it’s PVC. Malleable covers are available separately.

I agree with Tom I haven't seen the PVC covers sold separately. I never understood why all metal ones don't come with covers although some manufacturers are selling now them complete with the cover.

Well ,can I put a metal cover on the plastic conduit ? .I've installed 2 boxes I have already glued an wired inside ..thinking hey,I can get a replacement cover..an can't find it alone .which is really crazy when metal ones are easily replaceable ..

There are options for metal covers used on iron conduit bodies, raised, steel covers with clips no screws to corrode. PVC lbs are much less expensive so mfgs don’t offer seperate covers

Let us assume the metal cover fits the footprint of the PVC, how are you bonding that cover to the EGC?

You buy a new PVC conduit body with cover, use that cover, then put the unused portion on the shelf so you can repeat the process in the future.
