Overview
The Appleton LB27 is a Type LB conduit outlet body featuring Form 7 configuration with a 3/4″ hub and 7 cubic inch internal capacity. Made from Grayloy iron, it features a triple coating for durability and moisture resistance. These conduit bodies serve as pulling fittings and permit access to conductors for splicing and maintenance, allowing connections for branch runs and enabling bends in conduit systems.
