Overview

The ABB LB448 is a 1-1/4 inch Form 8 LB conduit body designed for use with Rigid and IMC conduit systems. Manufactured by ABB Installation Products, this conduit body offers robust protection and reliable performance in industrial electrical installations. The body is constructed from durable gray iron, providing a solid foundation for conduit connections. It features a multi-layer protective coating system for enhanced longevity and corrosion resistance. This includes zinc plating for foundational protection, a baked-on epoxy powder coat for an additional layer of defense against environmental factors, and a specialized BlueKote internal coating. This internal coating is specifically engineered to facilitate easier wire pulling, reducing friction and potential damage to conductors during installation. The Form 8 configuration of this LB conduit body allows for changes in conduit direction, typically a 90-degree bend, making it essential for navigating complex wiring pathways. Its robust construction and protective coatings ensure it can withstand typical industrial conditions. SKU: LB448. UNSPSC Code: 39131708.
