Overview

The ABB LR87 is a 3-inch Form 7 LR Conduit Body designed for use with Rigid and IMC conduit systems. Constructed from gray iron with zinc plating and a baked-on epoxy powder coat, this conduit body delivers robust corrosion resistance and long-term durability in industrial environments. The external gray finish provides UV and weather resistance, while the internal BlueKote coating enhances corrosion protection for conductors and fittings. This conduit body is rated for heavy-duty applications, including commercial, industrial, and utility installations where reliable electrical distribution is critical. The 3-inch size accommodates Rigid and IMC conduit sizes up to 3 inches, ensuring compatibility with standard industrial wiring systems. The Form 7 design includes a threaded hub for secure conduit entry and exit, reducing the risk of pull-out or misalignment during installation. Key applications include power distribution in manufacturing plants, chemical processing facilities, water treatment plants, and outdoor substations. The zinc plating and epoxy powder coat provide a combined protective barrier against moisture, chemicals, and abrasion, extending the service life of the conduit body in harsh conditions. The BlueKote internal coating further mitigates the risk of galvanic corrosion when used with aluminum or copper conductors. The ABB LR87 is manufactured by ABB Installation Products, a trusted name in electrical infrastructure solutions. This conduit body meets industry standards for mechanical strength and electrical continuity, ensuring safe and reliable operation in compliance with NEC and OSHA requirements. For installations requiring durable, corrosion-resistant conduit bodies, the ABB LR87 is a proven solution.
