Southwire 1161 Pvc Type Lr Junction Box 1/2 Inch

Product Description

The SOUTHWIRE 1161 is a 1/2-inch PVC Type LR junction box designed for use in electrical conduit systems. Type LR conduit bodies provide a 90-degree pull point with a removable cover, allowing technicians to access, pull, and redirect conductors through a raceway system. PVC construction makes this box well-suited for installations where corrosion resistance is required. Electricians working on commercial or residential projects install this fitting where a conduit run must make a horizontal 90-degree turn while maintaining a left or right access point. At 5 pounds, the unit is sized for standard 1/2-inch conduit trade size.

This conduit body fits into PVC conduit raceway systems at 1/2-inch trade size. It is commonly installed in exposed or concealed wiring runs where conductors must be redirected at a 90-degree angle. The Type LR designation indicates that the access cover is positioned on the back of the fitting relative to the direction of the run, making it useful where space or clearance constraints affect cover placement. Typical applications include commercial construction, industrial facilities, and residential service work where PVC conduit is the specified raceway material.

Key Features

• 1/2-inch trade size fits standard PVC conduit systems
• Type LR body provides rear-access cover for conductor pulling and inspection
• PVC material offers resistance to corrosion and moisture
• Removable cover allows conductor access without dismantling the conduit run
• 90-degree turn geometry supports directional changes in raceway layouts

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for 1/2-inch PVC conduit raceway systems.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed electrician in accordance with the National Electrical Code (NEC). De-energize all circuits before opening or working within the conduit body. PVC conduit cement and primer are typically required to solvent-weld this fitting to compatible PVC conduit. Do not exceed the conduit fill capacity specified by NEC Article 314 for the conductor size and quantity being pulled.
