Has anyone came across a 20mm Galv Conduit box like this?

[Elec96]

Hi, i am after another one of these conduit boxes, i have never seen one of these before, i have asked wholesalers and googled it for ages but no luck so far. Would be much appreciated if anyone knows the name or somewhere i can purchase one of these. Im aware i could use a T Inspection Box and 2 x 90 right angles but the customer would prefer this light restored identical if possible.
Thanks.
Ben.

You could get those shot blasted and stove enammeled to look like new? Anyway that is like no fitting I have ever seen or heard of. There are some U turn ones but not really what you need. My guess is they are one of a kind no longer made and purpose made for the manufacture of that item specifically.

As above, would be specials for that manufacturer.
Possibly architectural salvage or lighting refurbers, but both arms and legs would be needed to pay for them.
The originals will be 3/4"

The conservation and restoration of towns, cities and parks had led to a rise in demand for restoring old street lighting & vintage lights

The other way would be to get someone to fabricate them from tubing and if going that route get some extra made, you'll get a fortune for them.

Probably not 20mm. Look for imperial sizes.

EBay can sometimes bring up a few gems

I'd be inclined to provide options for replacement and encourage them to have it restored, if that's the route they'd prefer to take. Getting involved with restoration is faff that eats time, for which you have little to no hope of being compensated. There's also a chance the customer won't like the restoration job, which is another reason why it's better they work directly with the restorer.

Take some conduit bits to your local blacksmith they love a challenge.

Yh thats what i was thinking, most likely purpose made, will have to offer a solution like a T Inspection and 2 tight 90 angle bends, i believe i can get 45° bend which may still give a similar angle. Thanks.

Our local Blacksmith would love a challenge like that, even I would get out the MIG welder and give it a go.

Is this fitting to replace the one pictured or for another light?
Is it 2 lights supported from above by the central tube?

How many lights like this are there?
Changing all of them to the same new design would possibly look better.

It looks like the fitting is not threaded, just plain tube ends with a nipple or adapter held in by the small screws.
