Carlon E986FCTN Type Lb Pvc Conduit Access Fitting

Product Description

The CARLON E986FCTN is a Type LB PVC conduit access fitting designed to make 90-degree directional changes in conduit runs while providing access to the raceway through a removable back plate. Built from polyvinyl chloride (PVC), this fitting is suited for corrosion-resistant installations where metallic fittings are not appropriate. It ships with a gasket and brass screws included, making it ready to install without sourcing additional hardware. UL listed for use in standard conduit installations. Electricians reach for this fitting when routing conductors through walls, into panels, or around building corners in exposed or concealed conduit systems.

This fitting is used in residential and light commercial electrical conduit installations. Its primary application is at 90-degree transition points where the installer needs to maintain the ability to pull wire through the run without disassembling adjacent conduit sections. The removable back plate allows a fish tape or pull line to enter the fitting directly, reducing friction and simplifying conductor installation in tight routing situations. It is appropriate for use in standard Schedule 40 or Schedule 80 PVC conduit systems depending on the conduit grade selected for the run.

Installation Notes

Installation of conduit fittings should be performed by a licensed electrician in accordance with applicable NEC requirements. De-energize all circuits in the work area before beginning conduit work. Use appropriate PVC conduit cement when joining this fitting to rigid PVC conduit sections. Do not overtighten the brass cover screws, as this can crack the PVC body or damage the gasket seal.
