Thomas & Betts OELB1-TB – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What does the LB shape mean on a conduit body, and when do I use it instead of a T or C body?
An LB body turns the run 90 degrees with the access cover on the back, which is what you want where conduit comes out of a wall and needs to drop or run along the surface. A C body is a straight pull-through, and a T body adds a third opening for a branch. The OELB1-TB is the LB pattern in 1/2 inch.
2) What is the OELB1-TB body made of, and will it hold up outdoors or in a wet area?
Ductile iron. That gives it the mechanical strength needed for explosionproof service and makes it suitable for exposed industrial runs, refineries, wastewater, and similar corrosive or wet duty where a die-cast aluminum or PVC body would not be specified.
3) How do I order the exact Thomas & Betts part for a 1/2 inch explosionproof LB?
Order by manufacturer part number OELB1-TB from Thomas & Betts. The 1 in the number is the 1/2 inch hub size in the OE-LB series, so quoting the full MPN avoids picking up a 3/4 or 1 inch body by mistake.
4) Do I need to order a cover and gasket separately for the OELB1-TB?
The OELB1-TB is the body itself. Explosionproof conduit bodies of this style use a matching machined cover, and where the installation calls for it a gasket, ordered to suit the body. Plan the cover into the job so the assembly is complete at rough-in.
