<DIV dir=ltr align=left><SPAN class=827475520-13082010><FONT face=Arial
color=#0000ff size=2>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. </FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<P class=MsoNormal>Anyone know where I could go to find out the max conductor
sizes that threaded Al. LBs can handle?<o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal>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.<o:p></o:p></P>
