E986D-CTN BODY CONDUIT PVC TYPE LB 1/2IN

Overview

The E986D-CTN E986D-CTN by Thomas & Betts (ABB) is designed for use as a Type LB PVC conduit body access fitting in electrical conduit installations requiring a 1/2-inch entry point.

Technical Features

• Type LB Configuration: Provides a back-entry, two-conduit-hub layout allowing a 90-degree change of direction, enabling wire routing around corners and through walls without bending conduit.
• PVC Construction: Non-metallic polyvinyl chloride body resists corrosion, moisture, and chemical exposure, making it suitable for damp and corrosive environments where metal fittings may degrade.
• 1/2-Inch Trade Size: Compatible with 1/2-inch PVC conduit systems, ensuring a secure, code-compliant connection at standard residential and light commercial wiring sizes.
• Removable Cover Access: As a conduit body (LB style), the fitting provides a removable cover plate for wire pulling, splicing access, and future circuit modifications without disturbing the conduit run.
• Red Color Identification: Distinct red coloring allows for quick visual identification and differentiation from other conduit body types or conduit runs on the job site.

Applications

• 90-degree directional changes in PVC conduit wiring systems in residential, commercial, and light industrial installations.
• Outdoor and underground conduit runs where non-metallic, moisture-resistant fittings are required.
• Service entrance and branch circuit wiring where pull-point access is needed along the conduit path.
• Installations in corrosive or chemically active environments where PVC material is specified over metallic conduit bodies.
