Overview
The Appleton LB75-M 3/4″ Form 35 Unilet conduit body is a malleable iron outlet fitting designed to connect and redirect conduit runs in electrical systems. Appleton conduit bodies serve as pulling fittings, allowing technicians safe access to conductors for splicing, maintenance, and inspection.
Key Features
- Smooth, rounded integral bushing in hubs protects conductor insulation
- Accurately tapped, tapered female threads for tight, rigid joints and excellent ground continuity
- Form 35 malleable iron construction delivers high tensile strength and ductility
- Triple-coat finish (zinc electroplate, chromate, epoxy powder coat) for superior corrosion resistance
- Built-in pulling rockers for safe conductor handling during installation
- Flat back design ideal for surface mounting against walls or enclosures
