Thomas & Betts LU57 Conduit Body Form 7 1-1/2 Inch

Description:

The Thomas & Betts LU57 Form 7 Conduit Body is used to provide a 90-degree change in conduit direction while allowing easy access for wire pulling, inspection, maintenance, and future system modifications in 1-1/2-inch rigid metal conduit and intermediate metal conduit systems. Commonly installed in commercial buildings, industrial facilities, manufacturing plants, utility installations, and power distribution systems where conduit routing and conductor access are required. Maintenance electricians, OEM manufacturers, and system integrators use this conduit body for new installations, electrical upgrades, maintenance, and replacement of existing conduit bodies.

Applications:

The Thomas & Betts LU57 is a Form 7 Type LU conduit body manufactured from gray iron with a zinc-plated, epoxy-coated finish and BlueKote® internal coating for superior corrosion resistance and easier wire pulling. Designed for use with 1-1/2-inch rigid metal conduit (RMC) and intermediate metal conduit (IMC), it provides a convenient access point for installing, pulling, splicing, and maintaining conductors while protecting wire insulation with tapered NPT threads and integral bushings. Its Form 7 design is interchangeable with other industry-standard Form 7 conduit bodies, making it ideal for industrial, commercial, and utility electrical installations.
