Installation Process

1. Verify conduit alignment and measure required offset distance for proper LB placement
2. Thread rigid or IMC conduit into both hub openings, ensuring full engagement of threads
3. Position the LB body to provide proper 90-degree directional change as required by installation
4. Tighten conduit connections to manufacturer specifications using appropriate wrenches
5. Remove cover plate to access interior for wire pulling and connections
6. Install conductors through conduit system, utilizing the LB access point for pulling and splicing
7. Replace cover plate securely after wire installation is complete

Applications

Perfect for:

• Commercial Buildings - Office complexes, retail centers, and healthcare facilities requiring reliable conduit routing
• Industrial Facilities - Manufacturing plants, processing facilities, and warehouses with rigid conduit systems
• Institutional Projects - Schools, government buildings, and municipal facilities with professional electrical standards
• Equipment Connections - Motor control centers, switchgear, and electrical panel connections requiring directional changes
• Conduit Direction Changes - 90-degree turns in rigid/IMC conduit runs where access is needed for maintenance
• Wire Pulling Access Points - Strategic locations in long conduit runs requiring intermediate access for conductor installation
• Splice Box Applications - Junction points where conductors need to be connected or branched within the conduit system
• Maintenance Access - Locations where future electrical system modifications or troubleshooting may be required

Condulet Outlet Body System Benefits

Condulet outlet bodies provide superior access and flexibility compared to standard conduit elbows or tees. The removable cover design allows for easy wire pulling, splicing, and future system modifications without disturbing the entire conduit run. This accessibility reduces installation time and maintenance costs while providing reliable protection for electrical conductors in demanding environments.
