Overview

The ABB LB17SA is a 1/2" conduit body in LB shape (Form 7) designed for use with rigid or intermediate metal conduit (IMC) systems. Constructed from durable sand-cast aluminum alloy, this conduit body provides a robust and corrosion-resistant housing for conduit runs in industrial, commercial, and utility applications. Compliance with UL standards and CSA certification ensures reliable performance in electrical installations where safety and durability are critical. The LB17SA is specified under Fed Spec W-C-586D, meeting federal procurement requirements for conduit bodies in government and military projects. Typical applications include power distribution, lighting circuits, and branch wiring in environments subject to mechanical stress or corrosive conditions. The Form 7 design features a 90-degree bend with a removable cover for easy wire pulling and inspection, reducing installation time and maintenance costs. With a compact 1/2" trade size, this conduit body integrates seamlessly into conduit runs without adding excessive bulk. The sand-cast aluminum construction offers superior strength-to-weight ratio compared to cast iron alternatives, while maintaining excellent thermal conductivity for heat dissipation in high-load scenarios. Suitable for indoor and outdoor use when installed with appropriate sealing methods, the LB17SA supports compliance with NEC and CEC wiring standards.
