Thomas Betts E986E Lb Conduit Body 3/4 Inch Imc Rigid Pvc

Product Description

The THOMAS BETTS E986E is an LB-type conduit body designed for use with 3/4 inch trade size IMC and rigid PVC conduit systems. This oval-shaped body provides a 12 cubic centimeter wire capacity and measures 6-9/32 inches overall length. It allows direction changes and wire pulls in conduit runs where a standard sweep elbow is not practical. Licensed electricians and electrical contractors install this fitting during rough-in and conduit installation phases on both commercial and residential projects.

This conduit body is suited for use in exposed or concealed conduit installations where IMC or rigid PVC conduit is specified. The LB configuration allows the conduit run to change direction 90 degrees through the back of the body, making it a standard choice for exterior wall entries, service entrance work, and indoor conduit routing around structural obstacles. It is used in light commercial, industrial, and residential electrical installations.
