Conduit Body LB Type · 2-1/2 in Set-Screw EMT with Cover and Gasket · Nesco ELB7GC

What this product is for

This 2-1/2 in EMT LB conduit body is used to provide access to the inside of an EMT raceway for wire pulling, inspection and maintenance. The LB pattern changes direction 90 degrees through the back hub, making it suitable where the conduit run turns into a wall or equipment.

Use for

Use for 2-1/2 in EMT conduit runs in commercial, industrial and service installations where you need a pull point and directional change. It is supplied with a cover and gasket for assembly at the job site.

Avoid for

Avoid using this as a threaded rigid conduit body unless the product listing specifically permits that configuration. Do not assume conduit fill from trade size alone; actual conductor count depends on conductor size, insulation type and applicable electrical code.

Best for

Best for larger EMT runs where access for pulling conductors matters and where an LB body simplifies layout compared with adding a junction box. Typical trade guidance is to keep raceway fill within code limits; actual installation depends on conductor size, insulation, bend layout and local code.

Installed in

Installed in exposed EMT systems, service areas, plant environments, commercial buildings and other raceway layouts where a back-opening LB body is the correct fitting style.

Why this product exists

It gives electricians a practical access point in a conduit run without opening up the full raceway. The set-screw EMT connection style is intended for electrical metallic tubing, and the removable cover supports inspection and conductor pulling after rough-in.

Compared with similar products

Compared with a threaded rigid LB, this version is identified as set-screw only for EMT. Compared with a combination body, it is not described as dual EMT and threaded rigid. For EMT-only layouts, this helps avoid adding separate EMT connectors where an integral set-screw body is preferred.

Estimated buying note: larger conduit bodies like this are commonly selected to improve pulling access on heavier conductor runs, but conductor count and pull difficulty depend on conductor type, bend spacing and code requirements.
