Ipex 212plb Pvc Type Lb Conduit Body 2.5 in

Product Description

The IPEX 212plb is a 2.5-inch trade-size PVC Type LB conduit body designed for use in electrical raceway systems. The LB style allows a 90-degree change in direction and provides pull-point access for wire installation and future maintenance. Constructed from PVC, this conduit body resists corrosion and moisture, making it well suited for wet, damp, and corrosive environments. The rectangular body includes a cover and provides 198 cubic inches of usable space, meeting fill requirements for multiple conductors in compliance with NEC conduit-body sizing rules. Licensed electricians and electrical contractors handle installation as part of a complete conduit system.

This Type LB conduit body is used in residential, commercial, and light industrial electrical installations where PVC conduit systems require a back-entry pull point or a 90-degree direction change. Common applications include service entrances, underground to above-grade transitions, and exposed exterior runs where metallic conduit is not appropriate. The 2.5-inch trade size fits standard Schedule 40 and Schedule 80 PVC conduit of the same trade size.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed electrician in accordance with the National Electrical Code (NEC) and applicable local codes. De-energize all circuits before opening or accessing the conduit body during wire pulling or maintenance. Use appropriate PVC conduit cement and primer on all solvent-weld joints per manufacturer instructions. Do not overtighten the cover screws, as PVC material is subject to cracking under excessive torque.
