Technical Specifications

This 1-inch trade size LB condulet features malleable iron construction with overall dimensions of 6.2" length, 2.65" height, and 1.8" width, weighing 1.43 pounds for substantial durability. The Form 5 design ensures standardized compatibility with rigid, IMC, and EMT conduit systems. The LB shape provides a 90-degree directional change with removable cover access, making it ideal for conduit runs requiring direction changes and wire pulling points. NEC/CEC compliance ensures code-approved installations in ordinary/non-hazardous locations.

Installation Process

1. Select appropriate conduit connection method (threaded rigid/IMC or compression EMT fittings)
2. Apply approved thread compound to male conduit threads for threaded connections
3. Thread conduit into condulet hubs hand-tight plus 1-2 additional turns with wrench
4. Ensure proper conduit support within 3 feet of condulet per NEC requirements
5. Remove cover for wire installation using appropriate tools
6. Pull wires through conduit system, utilizing condulet's smooth interior design
7. Replace cover securely, ensuring proper gasket seating if required
8. Verify all connections are tight and properly supported

Applications

Perfect for:

• Commercial Buildings - Office complexes, retail centers, hospitals, and educational facilities
• Industrial Facilities - Manufacturing plants, processing facilities, and heavy industrial applications
• Equipment Connections - Motor control centers, switchgear, and electrical panel connections
• Conduit Direction Changes - 90-degree turns in rigid conduit systems requiring wire access
• Wire Pulling Points - Strategic access locations in long conduit runs for cable installation
• Maintenance Access - Removable cover provides easy access for system modifications
• Municipal Infrastructure - Schools, government buildings, and public facility electrical systems
• Heavy-Duty Applications - High-vibration environments requiring superior mechanical strength

Condulet System Benefits

Condulet outlet bodies provide superior performance compared to standard conduit elbows by offering removable access covers for wire installation and maintenance. The LB configuration is specifically designed for applications where conduit must change direction while providing a convenient wire pulling and splicing location. This eliminates the need for separate junction boxes in many installations, reducing material costs and installation time while maintaining full code compliance.

Why Choose Malleable Iron Construction?

Malleable iron construction provides exceptional advantages over standard steel fittings, offering superior impact resistance, dimensional stability, and long-term durability. The material's unique properties resist cracking under stress while maintaining precise threading tolerances throughout decades of service. For electrical contractors demanding the highest quality installations, Eaton Crouse-Hinds malleable iron condulets represent the gold standard in conduit system components, backed by over 100 years of electrical industry innovation and professional contractor trust.
