Overview:
The Rigid Conduit Body LL Series ½” UL Threaded is an electrical fitting designed for use with ½-inch rigid steel conduit to provide a junction, turning point, or access location within a conduit system. The LL Series conduit body features a "LL" shape, which offers a longer body design that allows for changes in direction (such as a 180-degree turn) while providing ample space for wire pulling, inspection, and maintenance. The threaded connections ensure a secure fit and provide easy installation, making this conduit body ideal for use in both residential and industrial electrical installations. It is UL Listed, meeting the safety standards required for electrical systems.
Product Description:
The Rigid Conduit Body LL Series ½” UL Threaded is designed for installations involving ½-inch rigid steel conduit where a 180-degree turn is required, or additional access is needed for wire pulling, maintenance, or inspection. The "LL" designation refers to the conduit body's design, which allows for a longer, more accessible chamber compared to typical "L" or "T" shaped conduit bodies. This longer body makes it easier for electricians to handle and pull wires through the conduit system and provides a more convenient inspection point when needed.
The conduit body features threaded connections, which securely attach the fitting to both the conduit and other components of the system. These threaded connections ensure a stable and leak-proof seal, protecting the wiring system from external factors such as moisture, dust, or debris. The UL Listing and National Electrical Code (NEC) compliance guarantee that the conduit body meets rigorous safety and performance standards for both residential and commercial applications.

Cases & Uses:
-
Conduit Turns and Junctions: The LL Series is ideal for making 180-degree turns in conduit systems where the wiring needs to change direction and requires a longer, more accessible space for wiring.
-
Wire Pulling and Maintenance: Provides an access point for wire pulling through the conduit system, making it easier to pull wires through longer conduit runs or to provide access for repairs and inspections.
-
Residential and Commercial Installations: Commonly used in both residential and commercial settings where conduit systems need to be routed effectively, while also allowing for easy access and modifications if necessary.
-
Industrial Applications: Suitable for industrial environments where conduit systems may need to be adjusted, accessed, or rerouted for larger electrical systems.
-
Outdoor and Damp Locations: The corrosion-resistant construction makes it suitable for outdoor and damp environments, providing protection against environmental factors like moisture, dirt, and other contaminants.
Features:
-
Threaded Connections: Ensures a secure and stable connection between the conduit body and the conduit, preventing accidental disconnections and protecting the wiring system.
-
Longer Body Design (LL Shape): The LL shape provides more access space than standard "L" shaped conduit bodies, making it easier to handle and maintain the wiring inside the conduit.
-
Corrosion-Resistant Construction: Typically made from durable, corrosion-resistant materials like die-cast aluminum or steel, ensuring long-lasting performance in harsh conditions.
-
UL Listed and NEC Compliant: The fitting meets the rigorous safety standards set by Underwriters Laboratories (UL) and complies with the National Electrical Code (NEC), ensuring safety and performance in electrical systems.
-
180-Degree Turn: Ideal for creating a full change in direction (180 degrees) in conduit runs, useful in complex wiring systems where space or layout requires multiple turns.
-
Access for Wire Pulling and Inspection: The access cover allows electricians to easily pull wires, inspect, or troubleshoot the conduit system without having to remove large sections of conduit.
-
Easy Installation: Threaded design allows for quick and secure installation, making it a convenient choice for electrical contractors and DIY installations.
