Eaton Crouse-Hinds LB57 Condulet Form 7 conduit outlet body - NEMA 12

The LB57 Condulet Form 7 conduit outlet body uses a Feraloy iron alloy, delivering high strength, abrasion resistance, and long service life in demanding plants. This material choice improves corrosion resistance in dusty, humid, or washdown environments commonly found in manufacturing and processing facilities. The LB shape optimizes wire routing, enabling cleaner panel layouts and reducing risk of miswiring during maintenance or upgrades. Form 7 LB conduit bodies are designed for a 1-1/2 inch trade size, offering straightforward compatibility with standard conduit fittings and cover options. The LB57’s geometry supports efficient wire pulls while protecting conductors from abrasion and bending through tight enclosures. This translates to faster install times on new machines and easier field retrofits in legacy equipment. Engineered for protective enclosures, LB57 carries a NEMA 12 rating, delivering dust- and water-resistance essential for factory floors and outdoor installations. The unit is NEC/CEC compliant and suitable for Ordinary/Non-Hazardous Locations, simplifying procurement and reducing risk when coordinating with electrical codes across North America. These certifications support consistent performance in multi-vendor projects and help maintenance teams avoid costly noncompliance penalties. Installation efficiency benefits from documented assembly guidance and compatibility with common instruction sheets, such as IF 964 Conduit Body Wire Pulling. Having clear mounting footprints and standardized port locations reduces field errors and rework. In practice, stocking LB57 forms alongside other Form 7 bodies streamlines procurement, lowers spare-part inventories, and accelerates rollout for machine builders and system integrators. From a planning perspective, the LB57’s dimensions—7.13 in length, 3.69 in height, 2.44 in width—and 3.15 lb weight inform enclosure interior layouts, mounting clearances, and shipping considerations. The compact form factor enables tighter panel tolerances and reduces freight costs when deploying across multiple control cabinets or line cells, delivering measurable efficiency gains in large installations. Industry practitioners appreciate Form 7 solutions for standardized safety and interchangeability across machines, panels, and facilities. The LB57 extends that ecosystem with robust construction and clear documentation, helping teams meet project timelines, stay compliant, and sustain ongoing performance through lifecycle maintenance.
