Abb Installation Products alb-1 Lb Conduit Body 1/2 Inch

Product Description

The ABB INSTALLATION PRODUCTS alb-1 is a 1/2-inch LB-style conduit body designed for use with rigid and IMC conduit systems. Cast from die-cast aluminum, this back-opening conduit body provides a pull point and direction change in conduit runs where wiring access is needed. It ships with retained stainless steel cover screws, which stay attached to the cover during service to prevent loss on the job. This fitting is a standard component in commercial and industrial conduit installations handled by licensed electricians.

This conduit body is suited for 1/2-inch rigid metal conduit and intermediate metal conduit runs in both indoor and outdoor electrical installations. The LB configuration allows a 90-degree change in direction with rear-access to the conductors, making it practical in wall entries, service entrances, and exposed conduit systems where pull access is needed. It carries UL and CSA certifications, confirming compliance with North American electrical safety standards.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed electrician in accordance with the National Electrical Code (NEC) and applicable local codes. De-energize the circuit and verify absence of voltage before opening any conduit body or pulling conductors. Do not exceed the conduit body fill capacity as defined by NEC Chapter 9 tables. Ensure the cover gasket, if present, is properly seated before reinstalling the cover to maintain the fitting's environmental rating.
