Carlon E986F-CTN – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What is a Type LB conduit body used for on a PVC conduit run?
A Type LB body makes a 90 degree directional change in a conduit run, typically where a run comes down a wall and turns to pass through it, and the removable cover gives you a pull point for the wire. The Carlon LB is PVC and works with Schedule 40 and Schedule 80 conduit. If you need the turn to go the other way (cover on the back rather than the side) you want an LR or LL body instead, not an LB.
2) Will the Carlon LB conduit body fit Schedule 80 PVC conduit, or is it Schedule 40 only?
Both. The Carlon E986 series LB body is rated for use with Schedule 40 and Schedule 80 conduit, so you do not need a different fitting when a run transitions to Schedule 80 for physical protection. Match the trade size, not the schedule: PVC Schedule 40 and 80 share the same outside diameter at a given trade size, so the socket takes either.
3) What trade sizes does the Carlon E986 PVC LB conduit body come in?
Trade sizes run 1/2 inch, 3/4 inch, 1 inch, 1-1/4 inch, 1-1/2 inch, 2 inch and 2-1/2 inch. The part number tracks the size: E986D is 1/2 inch, E986E is 3/4 inch, E986F is 1 inch, E986G is 1-1/4 inch, E986H is 1-1/2 inch, E986J is 2 inch and E986K is 2-1/2 inch. Order by the trade size of the conduit itself, since the sockets are sized to the pipe.
4) What is the difference between the Carlon E986 standard, carton, loose and retail pack options?
They are the same fitting packaged differently, and the suffix on the Carlon part number tells you which you are getting. Loose adds an L (E986DL, E986EL, E986FL, E986JL, E986KL), carton adds -CTN (E986D-CTN, E986E-CTN, E986F-CTN, E986J-CTN), and the retail packs carry R or -CAR (E986GR and E986HR in 1-1/4 and 1-1/2 inch, E986K-CAR in 2-1/2 inch). For a stocked truck or an MRO crib, the loose and carton numbers are the ones to standardize on; retail packaging matters only if the part is going to a counter.
5) Can I solvent weld a Carlon E986 LB body onto my PVC conduit, or does it need a threaded connection?
It is a PVC fitting with socket hubs, so it goes on with PVC conduit cement the same way a coupling or elbow does. No threading, no locknuts, no bonding jumper. That is the main reason crews use a PVC body on a PVC run rather than mixing in a metal condulet, which would need a transition fitting at each hub.
6) Should I use a PVC conduit body or a metal one for an outdoor service riser?
On a PVC run, stay with PVC. The Carlon LB body is PVC in gray, which is the standard for outdoor and direct-burial rated PVC conduit systems, and it solvent welds straight into the run with no corrosion point and nothing to bond. A malleable iron or aluminum condulet is the choice when the raceway itself is EMT or rigid metal and you want the mechanical strength, but dropping one into a PVC run means transition fittings at both hubs and a metal part to protect from the weather.
7) Does the Carlon LB conduit body come with a cover and gasket, or do I order those separately?
The body ships with its cover, which is the textured lid design Carlon uses on this series for grip when you are pulling it off to make a pull. The texture is there so a gloved hand can get the lid off in the field after it has been buttoned up. Cover screws come with it; a gasket, where a job calls for one, is a separate item.
8) Can I use the Carlon LB body as a pull point in a long conduit run?
That is one of its two jobs. The cover comes off so you can feed or pull conductors at the turn, which is why crews set an LB at the point where a run changes direction rather than trying to pull a bend blind. Keep it accessible after the work is done, since a conduit body used as a pull point has to stay reachable.
9) I need to standardize LB conduit bodies across a whole facility. Does Carlon cover the full size range in one series?
The E986 series runs 1/2 inch through 2-1/2 inch in a single gray PVC body type with the same UL e11461 listing across the range, so a facility or a multi-family portfolio can spec one series for every conduit size instead of mixing brands by size. All of them work with both Schedule 40 and Schedule 80 conduit, which keeps the fitting the same whether a given run is standard wall or the heavier wall used for exposed sections.
