Thomas & Betts BUB5-TB 1-1/2 INCHMOGUL BODY,IRON, UB STYLE

UB style means the two conduit openings are in line with each other and the removable cover opening faces to the back of the body, so you pull straight through and access the wires from behind the run rather than from the face. Pick a UB when the accessible side is the wall or structure side of the conduit. If you need the cover facing out, a C or LB style is what you want instead.

Gray iron. It is a cast iron mogul body, not aluminum and not PVC, so it carries the weight and the mechanical abuse of a heavy rigid run and bonds through the threaded hubs. Iron bodies are the usual choice where the conduit is exposed, in industrial areas, or anywhere a plastic body would get damaged.

A mogul body is the oversized version: deeper and larger in volume than a standard body of the same trade size, which gives you more room to make the bend radius on larger conductors and is often what the inspector expects when you are pulling big wire through a 1-1/2 inch run. The BUB5-TB is the mogul version in 1-1/2 inch. If the run is small conductors and space is tight, a standard-depth body is the more compact pick.

The BUB5-TB is sold as the mogul conduit body and cover together. What is not part of the order is the gasket and any sealing compound, so if the location calls for a weathertight or damp-location seal, add the matching mogul cover gasket for a 1-1/2 inch UB body to your order.

Not directly. The hubs on a cast iron mogul body are threaded for 1-1/2 inch rigid or IMC conduit. To tie it into EMT you need a 1-1/2 inch EMT-to-threaded-rigid coupling or a set-screw connector with male threads at each opening.

Order by the manufacturer part number BUB5-TB from Thomas & Betts. That single number covers the 1-1/2 inch gray iron UB-style mogul body with cover, and there are no finish, handing, or size options to specify on it.
