Options

AMore costly than pull boxes
BCan be used as a splice location
CProvides more space for pulling
DCannot be used in place of a pull box
EMust be equal in size to the main conduit

Explanation

Slip sleeves (also called conduit bodies, pulling elbows, or gutters) are fittings installed in conduit runs specifically to provide additional interior space, making it easier to pull cables through bends and transitions. This extra space reduces cable stress and friction during the pull. They are generally less expensive than pull boxes (eliminating A), are not permitted to be used as splice locations in most code applications (eliminating B), can in fact substitute for a pull box in appropriate situations (eliminating D), and may be larger than the main conduit diameter to provide the extra pulling room (eliminating E).
