In an aspect, a universal conduit body assembly comprises a universal conduit body having a first port attached thereto. The first port is sized and shaped to connect the conduit body with one or more conduits or plugs. A cavity is at least partially defined by the conduit body, and the cavity comprises at least two open sides and sufficient space for containment of one or more spliced wires within the conduit body. Two or more removable panels each sized and shaped to cover a portion of the universal conduit body and selectively attach to each of the at least two open sides of the cavity are provided. At least one of the two or more panels includes a second port sized and shaped to connect the panel with the one or more conduits or plugs.

1. A universal conduit body assembly comprising: a universal conduit body comprising a first end, a second end opposite the first end, at least four sides between the first end and the second end, and a first port coupled to the first end, the first port sized and shaped to connect the conduit body
1. A universal conduit body assembly comprising: a universal conduit body comprising a first end, a second end opposite the first end, at least four sides between the first end and the second end, and a first port coupled to the first end, the first port sized and shaped to connect the conduit body with one or more conduits or plugs, wherein at least two of the four sides comprise open sides, the open sides comprising an opening that extends substantially from the first end to the second end;a cavity at least partially defined by the conduit body, the cavity comprising sufficient space for containment of one or more spliced wires within the conduit body; andtwo or more removable panels each sized and shaped to cover a portion of the universal conduit body and selectively couple to each of the at least two open sides of the cavity, at least one of the two or more panels comprising a second port sized and shaped to connect the panel with the one or more conduits or plugs, wherein the two or more removable panels are interchangeable between the at least two open sides. 2. The device of claim 1, wherein at least one of the two or more panels is selectively coupled to the universal conduit body via one or more hinge members. 3. The device of claim 2, wherein at least one of the two or more panels is biased to the closed position. 4. The device of claim 1, wherein at least one of the two or more panels is selectively coupled to the universal conduit body via one or more panel connectors. 5. The device of claim 1, wherein the second port is fixedly coupled at least one of the two or more panels. 6. The device of claim 1, wherein the second port is selectively coupled to at least one of the two or more panels. 7. The device of claim 6, further comprising a second port gasket interposed between the second port and at least one of the two or more panels. 8. The device of claim 1, further comprising a panel gasket interposed between at least one of the two or more panels and the conduit body. 9. The device of claim 1, wherein the second port comprises a setter screw. 10. The device of claim 1, further comprising a first port gasket interposed between a first port and the universal conduit body. 11. A universal conduit body assembly comprising: a universal conduit body comprising a first port fixedly coupled to a first end and a second side opposite the first end, the first port sized and shaped to connect the conduit body with one or more conduits or plugs;a cavity at least partially defined by the conduit body, the cavity comprising at least two open sides and sufficient space for containment of one or more spliced wires, the at least two open sides each comprising an opening that extends substantially from the first end to the second end;two or more interchangeable panels each sized and shaped to at least partially mate with the universal conduit body and selectively couple to each of the at least two open sides of the cavity so as to form at least a partial seal between the panel and the conduit body, at least one of the two or more panels comprising a second port fixedly coupled thereto, the second port sized and shaped to couple the panel with one or more conduits or plugs; andwherein the at least two panels are moveable between an open position and a closed position with respect to the universal conduit body, the at least two panels allowing substantial access to the at least partially defined cavity when one or more of the at least two panels are in the open position. 12. The device of claim 11, wherein at least one of the two or more panels is selectively coupled to the conduit body via one or more hinge members. 13. The device of claim 11, wherein at least one of the two or more panels is biased to the closed position. 14. The device of claim 11, wherein at least one of the two or more panels is selectively coupled to the conduit body via one or more panel connectors. 15. The device of claim 11, further comprising a panel gasket interposed between at least one of the two or more panels and the conduit body. 16. The device of claim 11, wherein one of the first port and the second port are covered by one or more plugs when not in use. 17. A method of connecting two or more conduits comprising: coupling a first conduit to a first port on a first end of a universal conduit body;coupling a second conduit to a second port on a second end of at least one of two or more interchangeable panels;splicing together one or more wires from the first conduit with one or more wires of the second conduit inside a cavity defined by the universal conduit body such that the one or more spliced wires are contained within the cavity; andselectively coupling the two or more interchangeable panels to at least two open sides of the cavity so as to form at least a partial seal between the two or more interchangeable panels and the conduit body, the at least two open sides comprising an opening that extends substantially from the first end to the second end. 18. The method of claim 17, wherein coupling a second conduit to a second port of at least one of the two or more interchangeable panels comprises coupling each of two or more second conduits to a second port of at least two of the two or more interchangeable panels. 19. The method of claim 17, wherein selectively coupling the two or more interchangeable panels to at least two open sides of the cavity comprises coupling at least one of the two or more panels to the conduit body via one or more hinge members. 20. The method of claim 17, wherein selectively coupling the two or more interchangeable panels to at least two open sides of the cavity comprises coupling at least one of the two or more interchangeable panels to the conduit body via one or more panel connectors.
