Overview

The ABB T68 is a 2-inch Form 8 conduit body designed for use with Rigid and IMC conduit systems. Manufactured by ABB Installation Products, this conduit body (SKU: T68) provides a critical junction point for electrical wiring. Its construction features a durable gray iron body, offering robust physical protection for the conduit and its contents. The exterior is treated with zinc plating and a baked-on epoxy powder coat, providing a substantial layer of corrosion resistance. Crucially, the interior of the conduit body is coated with ABB's proprietary BlueKote, specifically engineered to reduce friction during wire pulling and prevent damage to wire insulation. This combination of materials and coatings ensures longevity and reliable performance in various industrial settings. The Form 8 configuration allows for easy access to conduit interiors for pulling, splicing, or maintenance. This product is essential for maintaining the integrity and safety of electrical installations, particularly where conduit bends or changes direction are required. Its robust build and protective coatings make it suitable for environments where conduit systems are exposed to potential physical impact or corrosive elements. The UNSPSC code for this product is 39131708.
