EMT LB-Fitting · 1/2 Inch Type LB Conduit Body · .5EMTLB

What this product is for

This 1/2 in LB conduit body is used to change conduit direction while providing access to conductors for pulling, inspection, and maintenance. It is a combination style body with one set screw connection for EMT and one threaded connection for rigid conduit.

Use for

Use for 1/2 in EMT or rigid conduit runs where you need a 90 degree change in direction and back access to the conductors. Commonly used in residential, commercial, and light industrial conduit installations.

Avoid for

Avoid using this product where a different conduit body style such as LL, LR, T, or C is required, or where conduit type and hub style do not match the installation. Do not assume conductor fill or splice capacity without checking the actual body marking and local code requirements.

Best for

Best for electricians who need one body that can interface with EMT and rigid conduit without adding adapters. Also useful where a cover and gasket are needed for wet-location installations.

Installed in

Typically installed on exposed or concealed conduit runs in service rooms, utility spaces, commercial walls, exterior runs, and other locations where access to conductors is needed. When installed with the gasketed cover, this style is commonly used in wet locations.

Why this product exists

An LB conduit body gives access at a change of direction so conductors can be pulled more easily and serviced later. A combination EMT set screw and rigid threaded design helps reduce the need to stock separate bodies for different raceway types.

Compared with similar products

Compared with a standard EMT-only LB, this combination style can also connect to rigid threaded conduit. Compared with junction boxes, conduit bodies are typically chosen where the raceway path needs a directional change and conductor access in a more compact form factor. As a rule of thumb, conduit bodies are often selected to simplify pulling conductors through tighter runs, but actual suitability depends on conductor count, insulation, layout, and local electrical code.
