Questions & Answers
I have a 2” conduit run between buildings and was wondering if I could use a 2” LB body for 4 strand fiber optic cable, in particular, what is the bend radius in the Cantex 2” lbs? Thanks.
3 Wire fill is XHHW #4/0 per UL Listing with a volume of 63.5 CU. IN. Max. fill must be under that total, refer to NEC 70, 314.28 for radius bending.
What color is this?
The color is grey.
Is this rated for outdoor use?
Yes. All of our Schedule 40 and Schedule 80 products are ETL Listed and conform to UL 651 standard “Sunlight Resistant” specifications.
Under product details it states "for indoor use only". For this reason alone I have been sourcing other conduit bodies rather than buy from Home Depot as I'm sure many others have as well. I would urge you to contact H.D. to get this changed.
I have 3 2/0 THWN-2 and 1 AWG #1 with a minimum bend radius of 2.07". Will this LB work?
Our 3 wire fill is XHHW #4/0 for the 2” LB. A 4/0 XHHW has a cross sectional area of 0.3197 sq. inches. 3 conductors is a total of 0.9591 sq. inches. You’ll need to calculate the area of the wires you’re using to make sure you’re under the 3 wire fill.
Can this be used outside to bring service cable inside?
Depends on the size of the wire. I am having difficulty bending 4/0 aluminum wires to get through the body. It can be done, but I don't know the tricks.
Was able to physically pull 2 x 4/0 and 1 x 3/0 aluminum wire, 1 x UF-B 10-2 and 1 x UF-B 12-2 copper wires. Getting a grip on the 4/0 cable was the key factor with some wire pulling lube. My medium sided bench top vise was a good tool to pull
Yes this can be used for that.
What is the measurement from the center of the 90 connector end to the edge of the straight connector end
Horizontally, the distance from connector edge to center of 90 connector is 8.128”.
When will this item be available?
We have stock in our plant; please reach out to your local store or DC for product availability in store.
Does anyone know if these are NEC 2020 approved for 3 x 3/0 Cu THHN cables?
Yes they are; they are even rate for 3-wire fill for XHHW #4/0
