Thomas & Betts ALB-7 Conduit Bodies, Covers & Gaskets

The ALB-7 ships with one die cast aluminum cover. The matching cover is the CV-6. A gasket is not part of that shipment: order the GKV-6 composition gasket or the GKN-6 neoprene gasket if you need the weather resistant seal. Thomas & Betts also publishes a bundled catalog number, DALB-7-CG, that packs the body with cover and gasket together.

Yes, with the cover and gasket installed. Threaded conduit bodies maintain a weather resistant conduit system when assembled with a cover and gasket, so pair the body with the CV-6 cover and either the GKV-6 or GKN-6 gasket. Neoprene (GKN-6) is the usual pick where you want a softer compressible seal.

The Arlington Industries 935NM AnyBODY is an LB-style non-metallic conduit body in 2 inch threadless configuration. The ALB-7 is a die cast aluminum Type LB body for use with threaded rigid/IMC conduit. So the choice comes down to the raceway in the opening: threaded rigid or IMC takes the ALB-7, while a threadless 2 inch run is what the 935NM is built for.

190 cubic inches of wiring chamber. That is the number you use when you run a box fill calculation for conductors and splices made inside the body. The chamber is designed as a pull and splice point, with smooth throats so conductors feed without snagging.

Die cast aluminum body with a die cast aluminum cover, and the cover screws are retained stainless steel so they will not seize or walk out during service. Aluminum is the common choice for exterior rigid runs where steel would rust at the threads. It is also RoHS compliant and UL listed.

The ALB-7 is threaded die cast aluminum, so it lands on rigid or IMC conduit and the metal raceway itself can serve as the equipment ground path. A non-metallic alternative such as the Arlington Industries 935NM AnyBODY, a threadless LB-style body, suits non-threaded raceway and corrosive environments, but a non-metallic body carries no bonding continuity, so you run an equipment grounding conductor. Choose on raceway type first: threaded rigid/IMC points you to the aluminum body.

No. The Arlington 935NM AnyBODY is a threadless LB-style body, so it is not made to thread onto rigid conduit ends. The ALB-7 is a threaded conduit body that maintains a weather resistant system when used with its cover and gasket, which is what a threaded rigid or IMC run calls for. Keep the ALB-7 where the conduit is threaded.

The ALB-7 provides a 190 cubic inch wiring chamber with smooth throats for wire pulling, measuring 12 1/4 inches by 13 inches overall with a 4 1/2 inch depth, so conductors can be pulled and spliced inside the body. The Arlington 935NM is an LB-style non-metallic body in the AnyBODY series; if a published volume is the deciding factor, the ALB-7 is the one carrying the 190 cubic inch figure.

Where you want to avoid metal entirely, the Arlington Industries 935NM AnyBODY is a non-metallic LB-style conduit body. The Thomas & Betts ALB-7 is die cast aluminum and uses retained stainless steel cover screws, and it accepts either a composition gasket (GKV-6) or a neoprene gasket (GKN-6) under its die cast CV-6 cover to keep the system weather resistant. Both approaches are used outdoors; the ALB-7 route gives you a gasketed metal enclosure, the 935NM route removes the metal.

Sold each, one per outer package. So one order quantity equals one conduit body with its die cast aluminum cover.
