Thomas & Betts E985F – Frequently Asked Questions
1) I need a 2 inch LR conduit body for rigid metal conduit. What should I use instead of the PVC E985?
The E985 tops out at 1-1/4 inch and is PVC, so it won't serve a 2 inch metal run. For that, the Crouse-Hinds LR65 Condulet Series 5 is a 2 inch LR outlet body in copper-free aluminum for rigid/IMC conduit.
2) What is the difference between the Thomas & Betts E985 LR conduit body and the Crouse-Hinds LR65?
Both are LR-shape conduit outlet bodies, but they are built for different raceway systems. The Thomas & Betts E985 LR body is molded PVC in grey and comes in 1 in and 1-1/4 in hub sizes, so it pairs with PVC conduit runs using solvent-weld sockets. The Crouse-Hinds LR65 is a Condulet Series 5 body in copper-free aluminum for rigid/IMC conduit at 2 in trade size, with threaded hubs. Choose the E985 for a nonmetallic run, and the LR65 where the run is threaded rigid or IMC.
3) Will this LR body work with PVC conduit and solvent-cement, or does it need threading?
The E985 is a PVC body with threaded hubs, matching standard rigid nonmetallic conduit practice for threaded fittings. It is a nonmetallic fitting throughout, so there is no separate bonding path through the body itself. If your run is being solvent-welded with slip sockets, confirm your conduit terminations are threaded before ordering.
4) Which LR conduit body is UL listed for a commercial job spec?
The Thomas & Betts E985 PVC LR conduit body carries UL file E11461, which is the reference to cite when a drawing calls for a UL listed nonmetallic conduit body. The Crouse-Hinds LR65 is a Condulet Series 5 body in copper-free aluminum for rigid/IMC at 2 in, so it answers a metallic-raceway spec rather than a PVC one.
5) Is an aluminum LR Condulet an acceptable substitute for a PVC LR body on an underground PVC run?
They are not direct substitutes. The Thomas & Betts E985 LR body is PVC and matches the material of a PVC raceway, keeping the run nonmetallic end to end. The Crouse-Hinds LR65 is copper-free aluminum built for rigid/IMC conduit with threaded entries, so swapping it onto a PVC run means adding transition fittings and introduces a metallic fitting into an otherwise nonmetallic system. For a straight PVC run, stay with the PVC LR body in the hub size that matches the conduit.
