Kraloy LR40 4" PVC Type LR Access Fitting
The Kraloy LR40 is a 4" PVC Type LR Access Fitting engineered to provide a dedicated, sealed access point along runs of 4" PVC conduit. Molded from rigid PVC and supplied complete with a matching cover and gasket, this access fitting allows electricians to open a conduit run for wire pulling, splicing, inspection, or maintenance without disturbing the surrounding raceway. The gasketed cover reseals the opening once work is complete, helping maintain a clean, protected enclosure for the conductors inside. Built to the Kraloy LR40 product designation, this 4" access fitting is sized to integrate directly with standard PVC conduit systems used across commercial, industrial, and utility electrical installations.
Key Features
- Trade Size: 4" sizing for direct installation on 4" PVC conduit runs, matching Kraloy's standard PVC conduit fitting line.
- Durable PVC Construction: Molded PVC body resists corrosion, moisture, and the chemical exposure common in underground and above-grade conduit installations.
- Type LR Access Configuration: The LR-style body creates a dedicated access opening in the conduit run, giving installers a practical entry point for pulling wire and performing inspections.
- Cover and Gasket Included: Ships complete with a matching cover and gasket that seat over the access opening, helping keep out moisture and debris once the fitting is closed.
- Kraloy LR40 Model: Manufactured to Kraloy's LR40 product designation for consistent fit, sizing, and performance within Kraloy PVC conduit systems.
- Lightweight, Non-Metallic Body: PVC construction keeps the fitting lightweight compared to metallic access fittings, simplifying handling and installation.

Kraloy 078166 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What sizes does the Kraloy LR type access fitting come in?
Three trade sizes are offered: 1 inch, 3 inch, and 4 inch. The 4 inch is Kraloy part 78173 (the LR40), the 3 inch is part 78171, and the 1 inch is part 078166. Match the fitting to the trade size of the PVC conduit run it is going into.
2) Does the Kraloy LR40 access fitting come with the cover and gasket, or do I order those separately?
The LR40 ships complete with a matching cover and gasket. Nothing extra to order for the closure itself. You will still need PVC cement and the conduit couplings or adapters your run requires.
3) Will the Kraloy LR40 fit standard 4 inch PVC conduit from another manufacturer?
The LR40 is sized for standard 4 inch PVC conduit systems, so it integrates with 4 inch trade size PVC raceway. Trade sizes for rigid PVC conduit are standardized, which is why a 4 inch fitting takes 4 inch conduit regardless of whose pipe is in the trench. Kraloy specifies it for consistent fit within its own PVC conduit line.
4) What is a Type LR access fitting actually used for on a PVC conduit run?
It gives you a sealed opening partway along a conduit run so conductors can be pulled, spliced, or inspected without cutting into the raceway. Once the work is finished the gasketed cover reseals the opening, keeping moisture and debris off the conductors. On a long 4 inch run, that access point is what makes a future wire pull practical.
5) Can a PVC access fitting like the Kraloy LR40 be used underground?
Kraloy lists the LR40 for underground and above-grade raceways. The PVC body resists corrosion, moisture, and the chemical exposure typical of buried installations, and the gasket under the cover is what keeps the opening sealed. Direct-burial suitability of the overall raceway still depends on the conduit you are joining it to.
6) I need an access point on an existing 4 inch PVC run already in the ground. Is this the right part?
Yes, that is the LR40's purpose. Kraloy lists it for both new construction and conduit system retrofits. You cut in the fitting at the point you want access, and the gasketed cover reseals it afterward so the rest of the raceway stays undisturbed.
7) Is the Kraloy access fitting metal or plastic, and does that matter for handling a 4 inch fitting?
It is molded rigid PVC, non-metallic. At 4 inch trade size that is a meaningful weight difference against a cast metallic access fitting, which matters when you are setting it overhead or in a trench. Non-metallic also means no raceway bonding path through the fitting, so grounding has to be carried by a conductor in the run.
