[RE-wrenches] Aluminum conduit LBs

[Hans Frederickson]

Marco,
I'm curious to know what you did after the "hard" lesson. Was it an issue of
difficult/impossible installation, or an AHJ issue? It seems like the most
straightforward solution in a situation like this is to replace your conduit
bodies (LBs in this case) with a larger size, and then install reducers in
order to leave the existing conduit runs intact. I'm looking at an upcoming
installation where I would like to use 1-1/4" EMT, but will need 1-1/2"
conduit bodies to be ok with wire fill.

Anyone know where I could go to find out the max conductor sizes that
threaded Al. LBs can handle?

 

I learned the hard way that a conduit of X inches that can handle conductors
of a certain size does not necessarily mean that a LB of the same diameter
can handle the same size conductors.

 

Thanks,

marco
