Eaton OELB2 Conduit Outlet Body - Hazardous Locations
Part Number: OELB2
Quick Summary
OELB2 Conduit Outlet Body from Eaton is a rugged solution for hazardous-location terminations in industrial electrical systems. Engineers often wrestle with safe installation in tight spaces and the cost of non-compliant hardware. It delivers NEC/CEC compliance along with hazard ratings including Class I Division 1, Class II Division 1, Class II Division 2, Class III, and NEMA 7/9 protection. The 3/4" trade size LB body is constructed from Feraloy iron alloy and ships with a durable cover to protect live terminations. Designed for reliable field service, it reduces installation time, simplifies audits, and supports maintenance budgets by minimizing rework and compliance risk. This combination of robust material, documented standards, and clear installation guidance also helps streamline procurement and engineering approvals.

Feature → Business Impact → Application: Feraloy iron alloy construction delivers durable resistance to corrosion and impact in harsh environments, reducing downtime and replacement costs; suitable for chemical plants, offshore facilities, and heavy industries where exposure is constant. Feature → LB shape with 3/4" trade size and built-in cover simplifies wiring and protects terminations; result is shorter install times, safer servicing, and fewer field adaptations required during panel upgrades. Feature → NEC/CEC compliance and hazard classifications Class I Division 1/2, Class II Division 1/2, Class III, plus NEMA 7/9; benefit is regulatory alignment and risk reduction across oil & gas, refining, and mining projects. Feature → Compatibility with OE and EKC condulet lines; installation advantage is reduced need for adapters and consistent mounting patterns during retrofits and new builds. Feature → Documentation availability (catalog pages, UL certification, spec sheet) supports engineering sign-off and audit trails; this accelerates procurement cycles and QA approvals in controlled facilities. Industry context: The OELB2 leverages proven Eaton Condulet design practices, ensuring predictable cubic capacity, reliable sealing, and compatibility with standard conduit fittings for mission-critical installations.

FAQs
Begin with de-energization and follow NEC/CEC guidelines for hazardous-area work. Mount the OELB2 to a compatible conduit body pattern, ensure the cover is secured, and connect wiring per the listed trade size. The Feraloy iron alloy will resist corrosion and impact, while the integrated cover protects terminations during maintenance or inspection.
The OELB2 carries NEC/CEC compliance with hazard ratings including Class I Division 1 and 2, Class II Division 1 and 2, Class III, plus NEMA 7 and 9 protection. These ratings confirm suitability for explosion-proof and hazardous-location installations common in oil, gas, and chemical industries.
Yes. The OELB2 is a 3/4" trade-size LB conduit outlet body. It measures 5 in in length, 2.75 in in height, and 2.06 in in width, with an approximate weight of 2.5 lb, making it suitable for compact installations and retrofit projects.
Ensure enclosure integrity, proper mounting to a compatible conduit body, and correct sealing around the cover. Use fittings rated for hazardous locations and observe wire-fill limits. Refer to Eaton’s specification sheet for torque values, bend radius, and installation guidance to maintain NEC/CEC compliance throughout the lifecycle.
Though initial cost may be higher, OELB2 reduces field rework, warranty issues, and downtime due to its robust Feraloy construction and verified NEC/CEC compliance. The durable design simplifies maintenance, improves auditability, and lowers lifecycle costs in chemical, oil, and gas facilities.
