Thomas & Betts ASLB-5 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What conduit size does the Thomas & Betts ASLB-5 service entrance body take?
The ASLB-5 has a 1-1/2 inch hub, so it threads onto 1-1/2 inch rigid or IMC conduit. It is a threaded-hub fitting, not a set-screw or compression body, so the conduit end needs to be threaded.
2) Is the ASLB-5 conduit body big enough for my conductors by box fill?
The ASLB-5 has 18.8 cubic inches of volume, which is the figure to use when you run your conduit body fill calculation for the conductors passing through it. The throat is smooth to make the pull easier.
3) I am running PVC conduit, not rigid. Which service entrance fitting should I use?
For a PVC riser, the Cantex 5133671 is a PVC service entrance head, so it matches a PVC raceway system at the top of the run. The Thomas & Betts ASLB-5 is a die cast aluminum service entrance body with a 1-1/2 inch threaded hub specified for use with rigid/IMC conduit, so it suits a threaded metal riser rather than a PVC one.
4) Is the Cantex 5133671 service entrance head a substitute for the Thomas & Betts ASLB-5?
No, they do different jobs on the same service run. The ASLB-5 is a service entrance body with cover and gasket, die cast aluminum, with a 1-1/2 inch hub, made for use with rigid/IMC conduit and mounting flush to the wall. The Cantex 5133671 is a PVC service entrance head, also called a weatherhead, which terminates the top of the riser where the service drop conductors enter. On a typical rigid conduit riser you would use a body like the ASLB-5 for the pull and transition point and a head at the top of the mast, not one in place of the other.
5) Does the ASLB-5 come with the cover and gasket, or do I order those separately?
Body, cover and gasket all come together on the ASLB-5. The cover screws are retained deep-slotted stainless steel, so they stay with the cover when you open the body for a pull. Nothing else is needed to close it up.
6) How much clearance do I need to mount the ASLB-5 against a wall?
Dimensionally the ASLB-5 is published as A 6-1/4, B 6, C 2-7/16, D 3-1/4, E 2-7/16 and F 1-1/2 inches. It mounts flush to the wall, so plan the conduit standoff around a body that sits tight to the surface rather than on a spacer.
7) Can I buy a single ASLB-5 or does it ship in multiples?
It is sold each, but the order multiple is 2, so quantities come in pairs. Inner pack is 2 and the outer carton holds 10, which is what to work from if you are standardizing a service panel changeout across several buildings.
8) Is the Thomas & Betts ASLB-5 UL listed and RoHS compliant for a spec job?
UL is the certification carried on the ASLB-5, and it is RoHS compliant. Those are the two compliance items on record for it, which covers most municipal and institutional submittal requirements for a service entrance body.
9) Which service entrance fitting gives me a gasketed, openable access point for pulling conductors?
The Thomas & Betts ASLB-5 does. It ships as a body with cover and gasket, has a smooth throat for easy wire pulling, retained deep slotted stainless steel cover screws so the cover can be opened and reclosed, and 18.8 cubic inches of volume for conductors. The Cantex 5133671 is a service entrance head, a weatherhead termination rather than a removable-cover pull point.
10) What is the ASLB-5 conduit body made of, and will it hold up outdoors?
Die cast aluminum, with a gasketed cover and stainless steel cover screws, which is the usual combination for an exterior service entrance body. Aluminum also keeps the weight down at 1.34 lbs each.
11) What is the right part number to order for a 1-1/2 inch Thomas & Betts LB conduit body?
ASLB-5 is the manufacturer part number, the 5 denoting the 1-1/2 inch hub. It is the aluminum LB style body supplied with cover and gasket.
