Appleton 180-1/2 Conduit Body 1/2 Inch Lb Type

Product Description

The APPLETON 180-1/2 is an LB-type conduit body designed for use in electrical raceway systems where a 90-degree change of direction is required. Sized for 1/2 inch trade size conduit, it measures 4-1/8 inches in length by 1-13/16 inches in width, providing the interior volume needed for conductors to transition direction without exceeding bend radius limits. Licensed electricians install this fitting as part of EMT, rigid metal, or IMC conduit runs in commercial and residential wiring applications. It provides rear and side access through a removable cover plate, simplifying wire pulling on long or complex runs.

This conduit body is suited for use in exposed or concealed indoor conduit systems, junction points, and pull points along a raceway. It is commonly installed in commercial construction, light industrial facilities, and residential service work where conduit must navigate around structural obstacles or transition between directions. The 1/2 inch trade size makes it appropriate for branch circuit and low-voltage control wiring routed through standard conduit systems.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed electrician in accordance with applicable NEC requirements for conduit body fill and conductor bending radius. De-energize all circuits before opening or working within any conduit body. Ensure the removable cover is secured after wire pulling is complete. Do not exceed the conductor fill capacity defined by the NEC for the conduit body volume.
