Appleton LR-50 Malleable Iron Lr Conduit Body 1/2 Inch

Product Description

The APPLETON LR-50 is a malleable iron LR-type conduit body designed for use in electrical conduit systems where a 90-degree change in direction is required with a left-turn horizontal sweep. This fitting accepts 1/2 inch conduit trade size and provides a removable cover for wire pulling and inspection access. Malleable iron construction offers durability in demanding environments, including industrial, commercial, and utility installations. Licensed electricians install this fitting as part of a rigid or intermediate metal conduit run where the conduit system requires directional changes while maintaining raceway integrity.

The LR-50 is suited for use in both indoor and outdoor conduit installations where a robust metal conduit body is specified. It is commonly installed in commercial and industrial electrical systems, control panel wiring, and service entrance runs. The LR configuration sweeps left and right, making it practical for tight routing situations near walls, ceilings, and structural members. This fitting is appropriate for applications governed by the National Electrical Code where conduit fill and wire pulling access must be maintained.

Installation Notes

Installation of conduit bodies must be performed by a qualified electrician in accordance with the National Electrical Code (NEC) and applicable local codes. De-energize the circuit and verify the absence of voltage before opening any conduit body for wire pulling or splicing work. Do not exceed the conduit fill limits specified in NEC Chapter 9 tables for the conduit trade size in use. Ensure the cover gasket and fasteners are properly seated and tightened to maintain the environmental rating of the fitting after service.
