Overview:
The Rigid Conduit Body LB Series 3/4” UL Threaded is a critical component in rigid steel conduit systems, designed to provide a junction or turn for conduit runs while also allowing access for wire pulling, maintenance, or inspection. This fitting is commonly used in both residential and industrial electrical installations, where a 3/4-inch conduit is employed. The LB Series features a 90-degree "L" shape with an access cover, making it ideal for situations that require a change in direction of the conduit while still providing easy access to the system. The threaded connections ensure a secure, tight fit, meeting safety and code requirements with its UL Listing.
Product Description:
The Rigid Conduit Body LB Series 3/4” UL Threaded is designed specifically for use with 3/4-inch rigid steel conduit. The "LB" designation refers to the shape of the fitting, which is an "L" shape, allowing the conduit to make a 90-degree turn, while also providing an access point for the conduit system. This is especially useful when electricians need to pull wires, inspect the system, or perform maintenance without having to disassemble the entire conduit run.
This conduit body features threaded connections on both ends, which securely attach the fitting to the conduit and other components. The threaded nature of the fitting provides a secure, leak-proof connection, ensuring that the conduit remains stable and that the electrical system is protected from external elements like dust, moisture, or debris. The fitting is also UL Listed, ensuring it meets the safety standards set by Underwriters Laboratories, and is compliant with the National Electrical Code (NEC), guaranteeing that it is suitable for a wide range of electrical installations.
