Overview

The ABB LB28 is a 3/4 inch Form 8 LB conduit body designed for use with Rigid and IMC conduit. Manufactured by ABB - Installation Products, this conduit body offers robust construction and reliable performance in industrial settings. The body material is gray iron, providing inherent strength and durability. It features a zinc plating and a baked-on epoxy powder coat for enhanced corrosion resistance, ensuring longevity even in challenging environments. A key feature is the BlueKote internal coating, specifically engineered to reduce wire pulling friction, making installation and maintenance more efficient. This design minimizes damage to conductors during pulling, extending their lifespan and ensuring the integrity of the electrical system. This conduit body is suitable for applications requiring a change in conduit direction, specifically an 'L' (left) bend, and a 'B' (back) entry. Its Form 8 configuration indicates a specific internal shape and volume, important for wire fill calculations and ease of access. The robust construction makes it ideal for industrial electrical installations where conduit protection and wire management are critical. The combination of durable materials and protective coatings ensures that the LB28 can withstand the rigors of industrial use, providing a secure and long-lasting conduit pathway. The SKU for this product is LB28.
