The conduit body has a body wall including a pair of elongate side walls and a pair of end walls forming a perimetrical side wall, a bottom wall, and an open end defining a body interior. The conduit body further includes a longitudinal axis located generally along the elongate side walls. At least two hub passageways extend from the conduit body in communication with the body interior, each of the hub passageways including a hub wall defining an access channel for passage of wires therethrough. The hub passageways may be generally located in non-axial alignment with said longitudinal axis. In some embodiments the bottom wall has a broad curved shape.
