Thomas Betts E986D Lb Conduit Body 1/2 Inch Imc Rigid Pvc

Product Description

The THOMAS BETTS E986D is an LB-style conduit body designed for use with 1/2 inch trade size IMC and rigid PVC conduit systems. The oval body provides a pull point and direction change in a conduit run, allowing 90-degree transitions from a wall or ceiling surface. With a 4 cubic inch (cc) interior volume and an overall length of 4-5/16 inches, it meets standard fill requirements for conductor routing. Licensed electricians and electrical contractors install this fitting during rough-in and finish conduit work on commercial and residential projects. It carries a UL Listed designation and meets RoHS compliance standards.

The E986D is suited for indoor and outdoor conduit installations where an LB body is required to make a 90-degree bend with a rear access cover. Its oval profile fits standard trade-size conduit fittings at 1/2 inch. The PVC construction makes it a practical choice in corrosive or moisture-prone environments where metallic conduit bodies may not be appropriate. It is commonly installed at wall entries, meter socket transitions, and service entrance locations where a back-accessible pull point is required.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed electrician in accordance with the National Electrical Code (NEC) and applicable local codes. De-energize the circuit completely before opening any conduit body or pulling conductors. Ensure the cover and gasket are reinstalled securely after wire pulling to maintain the enclosure rating. Do not exceed the rated conductor fill volume of 4 cc as defined by NEC fill tables.
