Thomas & Betts CILR-2 1/2 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What conduit size does the Thomas & Betts CILR-2 1/2 conduit body take?
The CILR-2 1/2 is built for 2-1/2 inch rigid conduit, with a 2-1/2 inch hub size on both openings. If your run is 2 inch or smaller, this body won't thread up to it; you need the matching smaller size in the series.
2) Is the Crouse-Hinds LR65 a direct replacement for the Thomas & Betts CILR-2 1/2 conduit body?
No, not on hub size. The Thomas & Betts CILR-2 1/2 is a Type LR conduit body with a 2-1/2 inch hub, while the Crouse-Hinds LR65 Condulet Series 5 outlet body is built for 2 inch rigid/IMC. Both are LR-shape bodies in aluminum - the CILR-2 1/2 is cast aluminum and the LR65 is copper-free aluminum - so the body style and left-side back-outlet geometry line up, but the LR65 threads will not take 2-1/2 inch rigid conduit. Match the hub to the raceway size running into the opening.
3) Will the CILR-2 1/2 pass a Canadian inspection?
It carries CSA, so it is acceptable for work under the Canadian Electrical Code as well as US rigid conduit installs.
4) Can I use this LR body with IMC or EMT instead of rigid?
The CILR-2 1/2 is specified for rigid conduit, which is threaded hub. Rigid and IMC share the same thread so a threaded body serves both; EMT is unthreaded and will not take it without a transition fitting. For a straight EMT job, use a set-screw or compression type body instead.
5) How does the aluminum on the Thomas & Betts CILR-2 1/2 differ from the Crouse-Hinds LR65?
The Thomas & Betts CILR-2 1/2 is specified as cast aluminum and carries CSA certification. The Crouse-Hinds LR65 is specified as copper-free aluminum, an alloy call-out that matters on jobs where the specification restricts copper content in the casting, such as certain corrosive or hazardous-area environments. If your drawing simply calls for a cast aluminum LR body at 2-1/2 inch, the CILR-2 1/2 answers it; if the spec language reads copper-free, confirm the alloy call-out before substituting either way.
