Orbit Industries MLB-100 Lb Iron Conduit Body 1 Inch

Product Description

The ORBIT INDUSTRIES MLB-100 is a Type LB malleable iron threaded conduit body designed for use in electrical raceway systems. Zinc plated for corrosion resistance, it features high tensile strength and ductility to handle the mechanical stress common in commercial and industrial installations. The integral bushings are smooth and rounded to protect wire insulation during pull-through. Licensed electricians install this fitting as part of rigid metal conduit (RMC) or intermediate metal conduit (IMC) runs where a 90-degree directional change with a removable cover is required for wire access.

The MLB-100 is suited for 1-inch trade size conduit installations in commercial, industrial, and heavy-duty residential electrical systems. It is commonly used at service entrances, panel feeders, and junction points where conduit changes direction and future wire access is needed. The gray zinc-plated finish and malleable iron construction make it appropriate for both indoor and damp-location outdoor applications where durability and corrosion resistance are priorities.

Key Features

Compatibility

The MLB-100 is interchangeable with Appleton Form 35 and Cooper Crouse-Hinds Form 5 conduit bodies in 1-inch trade size threaded conduit systems.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed electrician in accordance with the National Electrical Code (NEC) and applicable local codes. De-energize and lock out the circuit before working on any conduit system connected to live conductors. Apply listed thread compound or tape to threaded connections as required by code and local authority having jurisdiction. The removable cover must remain accessible after installation per NEC requirements.
