Eaton Crouse-Hinds 2-1/2" LBNEC Mogul Pulling Elbow, Copper-Free Aluminum

Eaton Crouse-Hinds 2-1/2" LBNEC Mogul Pulling Elbow

Heavy-Duty Copper-Free Aluminum Construction for Large Conductor Installations

The Eaton Crouse-Hinds 2-1/2" LBNEC Mogul Pulling Elbow is a professional-grade condulet engineered for large conductor pulling operations in commercial and industrial electrical systems. This copper-free aluminum mogul pulling elbow delivers superior pulling capacity and corrosion resistance for demanding rigid/IMC conduit installations where standard elbows cannot accommodate large wire bundles.

Key Features & Benefits

Mogul Pulling Design

• Oversized Wire Chamber - Accommodates large conductor bundles and multiple cables that won't fit through standard elbows
• Smooth Interior Radius - Reduces pulling tension and prevents conductor damage during installation
• Large Access Opening - Facilitates easy wire pulling and splicing operations in tight spaces
• Professional Pulling Configuration - Designed specifically for high-capacity electrical distribution systems

Copper-Free Aluminum Construction

• Lightweight Design - Significantly lighter than steel alternatives while maintaining structural integrity
• Superior Corrosion Resistance - Aluminum construction resists rust and corrosion in harsh environments
• Copper-Free Formulation - Prevents galvanic corrosion when used with aluminum conductors
• Dimensional Stability - Maintains precise threading and fit over decades of service

Rigid/IMC Compatibility

• Universal Conduit Compatibility - Works with both rigid steel and intermediate metal conduit systems
• Precision Threading - Ensures secure, weatherproof connections with standard conduit fittings
• Code Compliant Design - Meets NEC/CEC requirements for ordinary/non-hazardous locations

Technical Specifications

This 2-1/2" trade size mogul pulling elbow features copper-free aluminum construction optimized for rigid and IMC conduit systems. The unit measures 22" in length, 7.53" in height, and 4.5" in width, with a total weight of 10.3 pounds. The LBNEC configuration provides maximum wire pulling capacity while maintaining NEC/CEC compliance for ordinary/non-hazardous location installations. The precision-cast aluminum body ensures consistent threading and long-term dimensional stability.

Installation Process

1. Verify conduit alignment and measure required elbow positioning for optimal wire pulling access
2. Thread conduit securely into both hub openings, ensuring full engagement for weatherproof seal
3. Install cover plate temporarily during conduit system completion to prevent debris entry
4. Remove cover plate and install pulling rope or cable through the oversized wire chamber
5. Pull conductors through the system, utilizing the smooth interior radius to minimize friction
6. Complete conductor connections and reinstall cover plate with appropriate gasket for environmental protection

Applications

Perfect for:

• Large Commercial Buildings - Office complexes, shopping centers, and high-rise construction requiring heavy conductor runs
• Industrial Facilities - Manufacturing plants, processing facilities, and heavy equipment installations
• Electrical Distribution Systems - Main service entrances, panel feeders, and high-amperage branch circuits
• Municipal Infrastructure - Schools, hospitals, government buildings, and public facility electrical systems
• Data Centers - Server facilities and telecommunications installations requiring large conductor bundles
• Healthcare Facilities - Hospitals and medical centers with complex electrical distribution requirements
• Educational Institutions - Universities and large school complexes with extensive electrical infrastructure
• Retail Complexes - Shopping malls and big-box stores requiring high-capacity electrical distribution

Mogul Pulling Elbow System Benefits

Mogul pulling elbows solve the critical challenge of routing large conductor bundles through conduit systems where standard elbows create excessive pulling tension or simply cannot accommodate the wire volume. The oversized wire chamber and smooth interior geometry significantly reduce installation time and labor costs while preventing costly conductor damage during pulling operations. This design is essential for modern electrical systems that require multiple large conductors or complex cable bundles.

Why Choose Copper-Free Aluminum?

Copper-free aluminum construction provides the ideal combination of strength, corrosion resistance, and compatibility for modern electrical installations. The lightweight design reduces installation labor and structural loading while the copper-free formulation prevents galvanic corrosion issues common with mixed-metal systems. Eaton Crouse-Hinds precision casting ensures consistent quality and dimensional accuracy, delivering the reliability electrical professionals have trusted for over 100 years in demanding commercial and industrial applications.
