Thomas & Betts CILBA-2 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Is the CILBA-2 body metal or plastic, and does that matter for grounding?
Cast aluminum. Being metallic, it stays part of the metal raceway system rather than interrupting it, which is why installers running EMT or rigid usually prefer it. If you are on PVC or want a non-metallic body, the Arlington Industries 935NM AnyBODY is a 2 inch threadless non-metallic LB-style body instead.
2) What is a non-metallic alternative to the Thomas & Betts CILBA-2 LB conduit body in 2 inch?
The Arlington Industries 935NM AnyBODY is a 2 inch LB-style non-metallic conduit body with threadless connections. The CILBA-2 is a cast aluminum LB conduit body for EMT and rigid conduit, so the choice comes down to a metal body with threaded/EMT connections versus a non-metallic body that accepts conduit without threading.
3) Can I use the CILBA-2 conduit body with both EMT and rigid conduit?
Yes, it is built for EMT and rigid, so a single body covers both methods on the same job. Confirm which hub style you are ordering matches the raceway you are terminating, since EMT is set-screw/compression and rigid is threaded.
4) Does the CILBA-2 come with a cover and gasket, or do I order those separately?
Order the CILBA-2 as the body itself. A conduit body needs a cover sized to it, plus a gasket if the location is wet or damp, so add those to the order to finish the install.
5) If the 2 inch conduit run is already threaded rigid, does the Arlington 935NM work in place of the CILBA-2?
The Arlington 935NM is a threadless 2 inch LB-style body, so it is designed to clamp onto conduit rather than thread onto it. The Thomas & Betts CILBA-2 is built for EMT and rigid conduit, which makes it the closer match where the run is threaded rigid.
6) Will an aluminum conduit body like the CILBA-2 hold up outdoors on a service entrance?
Cast aluminum is the usual choice for exterior service work because it does not rust the way steel does. Pair it with the matching cover and gasket for the body so the opening stays weather-tight, and avoid direct contact with dissimilar metals or embedding it in concrete, where aluminum corrodes.
