Cantex 5133667 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What trade sizes does the Cantex Type LB PVC conduit body come in?
Three trade sizes are offered: 1-1/2 inch (MPN 5133667), 2 inch (MPN 5133668), and 2-1/2 inch (MPN 5133669). Match the trade size to the PVC conduit already in the run, since an LB body terminates directly on the conduit ends.
2) Can I use this PVC LB body with metal conduit like EMT or rigid steel?
No. This is a molded PVC body intended for non-metallic raceway, so the openings take PVC conduit solvent-welded in. For EMT you need a metallic body with EMT connections, such as the Crouse-Hinds C15MTC-6 Condulet combination EMT body.
3) What is the difference between a Type LB conduit body and a Type C body like the Crouse-Hinds C15MTC-6?
The Cantex Type LB body makes a 90-degree change of direction, with a removable cover for pulling and splicing conductors at the turn. The Crouse-Hinds C15MTC-6 is a Type C outlet body, a straight-through pull point rather than a directional elbow. If the drawing calls for a back-to-box turn where conduit leaves a wall, the LB is the configuration; if you only need an inline access point on a straight run, the Type C is what to look at.
4) Can I use a Crouse-Hinds Condulet body on a PVC conduit run instead of a Cantex LB?
The Crouse-Hinds C15MTC-6 is a combination EMT Condulet from the Condulet Series 5 line, so its hubs are intended for EMT rather than PVC. The Cantex Type LB body is molded PVC and is sized in 1-1/2 inch, 2 inch, and 2-1/2 inch trade sizes for solvent-weld integration with standard PVC conduit. For an all non-metallic raceway, the Cantex PVC body keeps the material and connection method consistent along the run; mixing in an EMT body means adding a transition fitting at that point.
5) Is a PVC LB body OK for an exposed outdoor or underground conduit run?
Yes. The PVC construction resists corrosion, moisture, and chemical exposure, and Cantex lists underground and exposed PVC runs among the intended applications. Keeping the body the same material as the conduit also keeps the raceway consistent end to end, which is the usual reason electricians pick PVC over a metallic body in wet or corrosive locations.
6) I need a 2-inch LB for a PVC run, is that size available from Cantex?
Yes, a 2 inch Type LB is offered under MPN 5133668, sitting between the 1-1/2 inch and 2-1/2 inch options. All three are the same PVC Type LB configuration, only the trade size changes.
7) For a corrosive or wet environment, is PVC or a metallic Condulet body the better choice?
The Cantex Type LB body is molded PVC, which resists corrosion, moisture, and chemical exposure and does not require field painting or coating in damp locations. The Crouse-Hinds C15MTC-6 is a Condulet Series 5 outlet body built for EMT systems, which is the usual pick where the rest of the raceway is metallic and mechanical protection governs. Choose the Cantex PVC LB where the run is already non-metallic and corrosion is the controlling condition.
8) Will a PVC conduit body hold up in a commercial or industrial raceway, or should I spec metal?
Cantex lists this LB body for residential, commercial, and industrial PVC installations, and it is lighter to handle than a metallic body of the same size. Where the raceway itself is PVC, matching the body in PVC is the normal choice. Where the run is metal conduit or a location demands a metallic enclosure, use a metal Condulet style body instead.
