Southwire LB5SS Aluminum Lb Conduit Body 1-1/2 Inch

Product Description

The SOUTHWIRE LB5SS is a 1-1/2 inch aluminum LB-style conduit body designed for use with EMT and rigid conduit systems. LB conduit bodies provide a 90-degree change of direction in a conduit run while allowing access for wire pulling and future maintenance. Constructed from aluminum, this conduit body offers corrosion resistance suitable for demanding installation environments. It is installed by licensed electricians during commercial and residential electrical rough-in work where conduit systems require directional transitions.

This conduit body is used in EMT and rigid conduit installations where a 90-degree pull point is needed at wall or ceiling penetrations, panel entries, or similar transition points. The 1-1/2 inch trade size accommodates standard conduit fittings of that size. It is commonly specified in commercial buildings, industrial facilities, and residential service entrances where metallic conduit systems are required by code.

Key Features

• LB-style body provides a 90-degree conduit transition with rear access cover

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed electrician in accordance with the National Electrical Code (NEC). De-energize all circuits in the conduit run before opening or working near any conduit body. Ensure the cover gasket is properly seated before closing the access cover, particularly in wet or damp locations. Conduit bodies should be supported per NEC requirements and not used as a junction box unless the volume calculations permit it.
