Ipex 012plb Pvc Type Lb Conduit Body 1/2 Inch

Product Description

The IPEX 012plb is a 1/2 inch PVC Type LB conduit body with a rectangular form and removable cover. It is used in electrical conduit systems to provide a pull point and directional change in conduit runs. Made from PVC, it resists corrosion and moisture, making it well suited for damp and wet locations. With an internal capacity of 4.3 cubic inches, it meets the fill requirements for standard low-voltage and branch-circuit wiring. Licensed electricians install this fitting as part of rigid or schedule 40 PVC conduit systems in residential and light commercial applications.

This conduit body is designed for use in 1/2 inch PVC conduit systems where a 90-degree pull or direction change is needed. The LB style enters from the back and exits from the bottom, which makes it a standard choice for transitions from wall-mounted conduit into a panel, junction, or underground run. It is commonly installed in both indoor and outdoor electrical raceways where non-metallic conduit is code-appropriate or required.
