Thomas & Betts CILRL-2 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What size conduit does the Thomas & Betts CILRL-2 conduit body take?
The CILRL-2 is a 2 inch conduit body, and it is listed for both EMT and rigid conduit. So it lands on 2 inch trade size runs of either, which is what the "EMT/Rigid 2" in the designation is telling you.
2) Is the CILRL-2 an LL or an LR conduit body?
Both. The CILRL-2 is a combination LL-LR body, so the same casting can be oriented to pull left or right off the back of the run. That is handy on a service call where you don't know the turn direction until you are at the wall, and it cuts the number of parts you stage on the truck.
3) Will a 2 inch cast aluminum conduit body corrode if I use it outdoors or on a rooftop?
The CILRL-2 body is cast aluminum, which is the usual choice for exposed exterior and rooftop runs because it doesn't rust the way a ferrous body will. Keep it off direct contact with dissimilar metals and away from concrete or masonry embedment, where aluminum takes a beating from the alkalinity. For those spots a malleable iron body with a coating is the better call.
4) Does the Thomas & Betts CILRL-2 come with a cover and gasket?
Order the cover separately. Conduit bodies in this family ship as the casting; the cover plate, gasket and screws are their own line item, sized to the body's opening. If the location needs to be weather resistant, specify a gasketed cover when you add it to the order so you are not back on the roof a second time.
5) Can I use the same conduit body on both EMT and threaded rigid conduit?
Yes, the CILRL-2 is rated for EMT and rigid alike. Practically that means the hubs accept a set screw or compression style termination for EMT and take threaded rigid as well, so one part number covers a job that mixes the two methods, which is common where a rigid riser transitions to EMT above the deck.
6) When should I use an LL-LR conduit body instead of a pull box?
An LL or LR body is for a back-to-side change of direction on an exposed run where you also want a pull point. It works when the conductors can make the turn inside the casting. Once you have large conductors in 2 inch pipe where bending radius and the code's pull-box length rules govern, a junction or pull box is the right part instead. The CILRL-2 gives you that turn plus access in one 2 inch fitting.
7) Is the CILRL-2 conduit body suitable for a 2 inch run on a building exterior wall?
That is the normal use for it. Cast aluminum body, 2 inch EMT or rigid, with the LL-LR geometry letting you turn the run along or away from the wall face. Pair it with a gasketed cover for exposed exterior work.
