Red Dot DALB-3-CG – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What does the Red Dot DALB-3-CG include, and do I need to buy a cover and gasket separately?
The DALB-3-CG ships as a complete assembly: the 1 inch LB conduit body, its cover, and the gasket, shrink wrapped together. Nothing else is needed to close the body up on the job, so there is no separate cover or gasket line to add to the order.
2) Will the Red Dot DALB-3-CG work with EMT, or only rigid conduit?
Threaded rigid and IMC only. The DALB-3-CG is a Series A conduit body built for rigid/IMC runs, so its hubs take threaded conduit. If you are running EMT you need a set-screw or compression type body instead, not this one.
3) What is an LB conduit body used for on a rigid conduit run?
An LB turns the run 90 degrees with the opening on the back, which is what you use where conduit comes down a wall and has to pass through it, typically a feed into a building. The removable cover gives you a pull point for getting conductors around the bend. The DALB-3-CG covers that job at 1 inch trade size on rigid or IMC.
4) Is the Red Dot DALB-3-CG metal or plastic, and will it hold up outdoors?
The body is die cast aluminum, not plastic, and it comes with a gasket for the cover. Aluminum die cast is the standard choice for exterior rigid runs because it does not rust the way uncoated steel does. Keep it away from direct contact with wet concrete or masonry chemicals, which attack aluminum.
5) I am standardizing conduit bodies across a property. Is the DALB-3-CG a Form 8 or a Series A type?
It is a Series A conduit body, the lighter die cast style with a gasketed cover, not a Form 7 or Form 8 threaded malleable body. If your existing openings are fitted with heavier Form 8 bodies the covers and gaskets will not interchange, so match style as well as trade size when you standardize.
6) Can I mix the Red Dot DALB-3-CG with steel rigid conduit, or does it have to be aluminum conduit?
The threads are sized to standard rigid/IMC conduit thread, so it lands on steel rigid, galvanized rigid, or aluminum conduit alike. Aluminum body on galvanized steel conduit is common practice; if the location is wet or corrosive, be aware dissimilar metal contact is a consideration and many spec writers call for all one metal.
7) What is the exact part number to order the Red Dot 1 inch LB body with cover and gasket?
Order Red Dot DALB-3-CG. That number is the complete kit, the 1 inch LB body plus cover plus gasket, and it is sold as a single item with no size or finish choices to specify.
