Overview

The ABB TB68 is a 2-inch Form 8 (TB) conduit body constructed from durable gray iron. This robust construction is enhanced with a multi-layer protective coating system. The exterior features a zinc plating followed by a baked-on epoxy powder coat, providing excellent resistance to corrosion and environmental degradation. Internally, the conduit body is treated with BlueKote, a specialized coating designed to reduce friction and facilitate wire pulling, especially in complex conduit runs. This design is specifically intended for use with Rigid and IMC (Intermediate Metal Conduit) conduit systems. The Form 8 configuration, also known as a TB body, offers a specific type of access and junction point within an electrical conduit system. Its primary function is to provide a means for changing the direction of conduit runs (typically 90-degree bends) and to offer accessible points for pulling wires and making splices or connections. The 2-inch size accommodates larger conduit diameters and a greater number of conductors or heavier gauge wires. Key specifications include: * **Manufacturer:** ABB - Installation Products * **SKU:** TB68 * **Conduit Size:** 2 Inch * **Series:** Form 8 (TB) * **Body Material:** Gray Iron * **Exterior Coating:** Zinc Plating and Baked on Epoxy Powder Coat * **Internal Coating:** BlueKote * **Conduit Compatibility:** Rigid/IMC * **Color:** Gray This conduit body is suitable for industrial and commercial electrical installations where reliable and protected conduit pathways are essential. The combination of heavy-duty gray iron and advanced protective coatings ensures longevity and performance in various environmental conditions. The BlueKote internal finish is a significant benefit for installers, simplifying wire pulling operations and potentially reducing installation time and labor costs. The Form 8 design is a standard for many industrial applications requiring accessible conduit junctions.
