Overview

The ABB MALB-4 is a 1-1/4 inch threaded die cast aluminum Mogul conduit body engineered for Rigid and Intermediate Metal Conduit (IMC) systems. Designed to meet UL 514 and CSA C22.2 No.18 standards, this conduit body delivers reliable performance in industrial and commercial electrical installations where robust, corrosion-resistant fittings are required. Constructed from copper-free die cast aluminum alloy A360, the MALB-4 offers superior corrosion resistance and long-term durability, making it ideal for wet locations and harsh environments. Precision-machined NPT threaded hubs ensure trouble-free field installation and removal, while the deep-slotted stainless steel cover screws enable faster assembly and maintenance. The included fiber composition gasket and aluminum cover provide a secure, rain-tight seal to protect against moisture, dust, and contaminants. The spacious dome-style cover offers extra bending and wiring room, facilitating easier conductor pulling and splicing operations. With a cubic content of 40.0 in³, the MALB-4 accommodates larger conduit diameters and high-capacity wiring systems. Key applications include acting as pull outlets for stiff or large conductors, providing access for splices and taps, and making 90° bends in conduit runs. Suitable for power distribution, control panels, and heavy-duty electrical infrastructure, this conduit body is a dependable choice for standardized electrical installations. All assemblies come complete with cover, gasket, and screws for immediate use.
