Eaton Crouse-Hinds 4" LBNEC Mogul Pulling Elbow, Rigid/IMC, Copper-Free Aluminum

Eaton Crouse-Hinds 4" LBNEC Mogul Pulling Elbow, Rigid/IMC, Copper-Free Aluminum

Heavy-Duty Condulet for Large-Scale Commercial and Industrial Wire Pulling

The Eaton Crouse-Hinds 4" LBNEC Mogul Pulling Elbow is a professional-grade condulet engineered for heavy-duty wire pulling in large-scale electrical installations. This copper-free aluminum mogul pulling elbow delivers exceptional strength and corrosion resistance for commercial and industrial rigid/IMC conduit systems requiring maximum pulling capacity.

Key Features & Benefits

Mogul Pulling Design

• Extra-Large Wire Pulling Chamber - Mogul design provides maximum interior space for pulling large conductor bundles and reducing wire damage
• Smooth Interior Contours - Eliminates sharp edges and wire hang-ups during pulling operations
• Optimized Pull Angle - 90-degree elbow configuration minimizes pulling tension and conductor stress
• Professional Pulling Access - Large removable cover allows easy access for cable pulling equipment and techniques

Copper-Free Aluminum Construction

• Superior Corrosion Resistance - Copper-free aluminum prevents galvanic corrosion in mixed-metal installations
• Lightweight Yet Durable - Aluminum construction reduces installation weight while maintaining structural integrity
• Precision Die-Cast Manufacturing - Ensures consistent dimensions and smooth interior finish for optimal wire pulling
• Weather-Resistant Finish - Factory finish provides long-term protection in outdoor and harsh environments

Rigid/IMC Compatibility

• Dual Conduit System Support - Compatible with both rigid steel and intermediate metal conduit systems
• Secure Threaded Connections - NPT threads ensure watertight, mechanically secure connections
• Grounding Continuity - Maintains electrical grounding path through conduit system per NEC requirements

Technical Specifications

This 4-inch trade size mogul pulling elbow measures 28.84 inches in length, 8.94 inches in height, and 5.5 inches in width, with a total weight of 20.6 pounds. The LBNEC configuration provides an elbow connection with removable cover for wire pulling access. Constructed from copper-free aluminum with precision die-cast manufacturing for dimensional accuracy and smooth interior surfaces. Designed for rigid steel conduit and intermediate metal conduit (IMC) systems with NPT threaded hubs. Suitable for ordinary/non-hazardous locations and complies with NEC/CEC standards for commercial and industrial electrical installations.

Installation Process

1. Verify conduit alignment and support structure can handle the 20.6-pound weight of the assembled unit
2. Apply appropriate thread sealant to rigid/IMC conduit threads for watertight connection
3. Thread conduit into both hubs hand-tight, then wrench-tighten to manufacturer specifications
4. Remove cover plate and install pulling rope or cable through the mogul chamber
5. Pull conductors through the system, utilizing the large interior space to prevent wire damage
6. Reinstall cover plate with gasket to maintain environmental protection and system integrity

Applications

Perfect for:

• Large Commercial Buildings - Office complexes, shopping centers, hospitals requiring heavy conductor pulls
• Industrial Facilities - Manufacturing plants, processing facilities with high-amperage equipment connections
• Power Distribution Systems - Electrical substations, switchgear installations, and transformer connections
• Municipal Infrastructure - Schools, government buildings, and public facilities with large electrical loads
• Data Centers - Server facilities requiring extensive power distribution and cable management
• Heavy Equipment Connections - Motor control centers, large HVAC systems, and industrial machinery
• Outdoor Electrical Systems - Parking lot lighting, exterior building power, and weatherproof installations
• Underground Conduit Runs - Concrete-encased systems and direct burial applications requiring corrosion resistance

Mogul Pulling Elbow System Benefits

Mogul pulling elbows provide significantly larger interior volumes compared to standard condulets, making them essential for installations involving multiple large conductors or complex wire pulls. The extra space reduces conductor damage during installation, improves pulling efficiency, and allows for easier maintenance access. This is particularly valuable in commercial and industrial applications where downtime costs are high and system reliability is critical.

Why Choose Copper-Free Aluminum?

Copper-free aluminum construction eliminates the risk of galvanic corrosion that can occur when copper-bearing alloys contact steel conduit systems in the presence of moisture. This extends system life, reduces maintenance requirements, and ensures reliable long-term performance. The lightweight nature of aluminum also reduces installation labor and structural support requirements while maintaining the strength needed for heavy-duty applications. Combined with Eaton Crouse-Hinds' precision manufacturing and 100+ years of electrical expertise, this mogul pulling elbow delivers the reliability that electrical professionals demand.
