Overview

The ABB LB18-B is a Type 4X Form 8 PVC-coated conduit body designed for harsh environments requiring corrosion resistance. This 1/2-inch (16 metric) iron conduit body features a light blue PVC coating with a nominal 0.002" (2 mil) blue urethane interior coating and 0.040" (40 mil) PVC exterior coating, providing double corrosion protection. The LB shape allows for straight wire pulls in either direction while facilitating 90° bends in conduit systems. The encapsulated stainless steel screws and pressure-sealing sleeves ensure secure, leak-proof connections. Certified to UL Type 4X and NEMA 4X standards, this conduit body is ideal for industrial, commercial, and outdoor applications where exposure to moisture, chemicals, or corrosive atmospheres is a concern. The injection-molded PVC-coated cover with integral O-ring seal eliminates the need for additional gaskets or tools during installation. Standard offering includes covers and screws; replacement covers are available separately. Compatible with standard 1/2-inch conduit fittings and designed for easy access to wire pulling, splicing, and maintenance.
