Overview:
The Rigid Conduit Body LB Series ½” UL Threaded is an electrical fitting used in rigid conduit systems to provide a means for connecting, branching, or changing the direction of electrical conduit. The LB Series conduit body is designed specifically for ½-inch rigid steel conduit and features threaded connections for secure and tight fittings. This type of conduit body is commonly used in electrical systems where a conduit body is needed to allow access for wire pulling, inspection, or changes in conduit direction. It is UL Listed for safety and code compliance, making it a trusted choice for both commercial and residential installations.
Product Description:
The Rigid Conduit Body LB Series ½” UL Threaded is a compact, durable fitting designed for use with ½-inch rigid steel conduit. The LB Series conduit body is typically used for providing access to a conduit system for wire connections, pulling conductors, and maintaining or modifying the wiring path. The "LB" designation refers to the type of fitting that offers a “L” shape (with a 90-degree turn and an access cover), making it suitable for applications where a right-angle turn is needed in the conduit system.
This conduit body features threaded connections, which allow it to securely connect to the conduit and to other fittings. Its robust construction and threading ensure a secure seal, preventing contaminants, moisture, and other elements from entering the electrical system. The ½-inch size fits standard ½-inch rigid steel conduit, making it ideal for residential, commercial, and industrial electrical installations.
The conduit body is UL Listed and designed to meet the National Electrical Code (NEC) standards, ensuring safety and reliability. The LB Series conduit body is a versatile and essential component for various electrical applications, especially those requiring a right-angle turn and access to the conduit system.
