Bridgeport Fittings LB-42CGC – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will the Bridgeport Type LB combination conduit body work with EMT, or only rigid and IMC?
The combination design uses set screws plus NPT threads, so it takes rigid and intermediate metal conduit on the threaded hubs and EMT on the set screw connection. That is what the "combination" in the name means: you are not locked into one raceway type on both ends of the fitting.
2) What conduit sizes does the Bridgeport LB combination conduit body come in?
Two trade sizes: 3/4 inch (LB-42CGC) and 2 inch (LB-46CGC). Match the trade size to the conduit run it is going into, since the hub threads are sized to that conduit.
3) Do I need to buy a cover and gasket separately for this LB body?
No. The aluminum cover and neoprene gasket ship with the fitting, which is what the CGC suffix in LB-42CGC and LB-46CGC refers to. You only need the conduit connections themselves.
4) What is the difference between a Bridgeport LB-42CGC aluminum LB body and a Kraloy 078146 PVC LB access fitting?
Both are Type LB conduit bodies with a cover and gasket that let you make a 90 degree change of cable direction through the back of the body, but they are built for different raceway systems. The Bridgeport LB-42CGC is a 3/4 inch copper-free aluminum body with an enamel paint finish that uses combination set screws and NPT threads so it lands on rigid and intermediate metal conduit as well as EMT. The Kraloy 078146 is the LB25 series, a 2-1/2 inch PVC LB access fitting with cover and gasket, so it belongs on a PVC raceway run and at a much larger trade size. Choose by the raceway already in the wall: metal conduit takes the Bridgeport, PVC takes the Kraloy.
5) Can a Type LB conduit body be used outdoors or in a wet location?
The neoprene gasket under the aluminum cover is there to keep dust and water out, and the copper-free aluminum body carries an enamel paint finish for corrosion resistance. It is built for outdoor distribution and harsh environments. As always, the enclosure rating your inspector wants should match the raceway system it is installed in.
6) What is the difference between a Type LB, LL, and LR conduit body, and when do I use LB?
The letter tells you where the access opening sits relative to the 90 degree turn. LB takes the cable direction change through the back of the body, which is what you want coming out of a wall and turning down or up along the surface. LL and LR turn to the left or right side instead. If your run needs to exit the back of the fitting, LB is the one.
7) Is the Bridgeport LB conduit body UL Listed for an inspected commercial job?
Yes, it is UL Listed under file E11077. That is the number to give an inspector or put on a submittal.
8) How much clearance do I need behind a panel or above a ceiling for this LB fitting?
Bridgeport lists the product height at 3.52 inches, so plan your working space around that plus room to get the cover off for pulling wire. The removable cover is the access point for pulls and later inspection, so do not bury it where a hand and screwdriver cannot reach.
9) For an outdoor LB where I want to avoid metal entirely, what should I use instead of the Bridgeport aluminum LB?
The Bridgeport Type LB combination body is copper-free aluminum with an enamel paint finish and a neoprene gasket and aluminum cover to keep out dust and water. If the job calls for a non-metallic fitting, the Kraloy 078146 is a PVC LB access fitting in the LB25 series, also supplied with a cover and gasket, in 2-1/2 inch. The trade-off is raceway compatibility: the Bridgeport takes rigid and intermediate metal conduit through its set screws and NPT threads, while the PVC fitting is solvent-weld PVC raceway.
10) Will this aluminum LB body corrode if I bolt it to a steel strut or use it near copper wiring?
The body is copper-free aluminum with an enamel paint coating, which is the standard specification where copper content in the casting is a concern. The aluminum also cuts the weight of the raceway compared with a cast iron body, which matters on long surface runs.
11) What color is the Bridgeport LB conduit body, and will it match the rest of my fittings?
Grey, from the enamel paint finish over the aluminum casting. It reads as standard conduit-body grey alongside other painted aluminum fittings on a surface run.
