Thomas Betts ALB-5 Lb Conduit Body 1-1/2 Inch Aluminum

Product Description

The THOMAS BETTS ALB-5 is an LB-type conduit body designed for use with 1-1/2 inch trade size IMC and rigid aluminum conduit systems. It features an oval shape with an overall length of 7-7/8 inches and a 32 cubic inch internal capacity, providing adequate wire-pulling volume for larger conductor runs. The body is cast aluminum with a gray finish, offering weather-resistant performance suitable for both indoor and outdoor raceway installations. Licensed electricians and electrical contractors install this fitting as part of a complete conduit system where a 90-degree directional change and access point are required.

This LB conduit body is used in commercial and industrial electrical installations where IMC or rigid metallic conduit is specified. It serves as a pull point or direction-change fitting at building entry points, exterior walls, and exposed conduit runs. The LB configuration allows conduit to enter from the back and exit from the bottom, making it a standard choice for transitioning conduit from vertical to horizontal runs or for routing through walls.

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 in the raceway before opening or working on the conduit body. Ensure conduit threads are properly cut and reamed before assembly, and apply listed thread lubricant or anti-seize compound as appropriate for the conduit material. Do not exceed the NEC-permitted conductor fill for the stated cubic inch capacity.
