1/2" SLB W/COVER & GASKET (Product Description)
A 1/2-inch SLB conduit body with cover and gasket is a cast metal conduit fitting used to create a 90-degree change in direction in conduit runs, while also providing access for wire pulling, splicing, and inspection.
Product Description
The SLB conduit body is a compact side-entry “L-shaped” conduit fitting designed for 1/2" trade-size conduit systems. It allows conduit to enter and exit at a 90° angle, similar in function to an LB body, but with a slightly different body shape depending on manufacturer design.
The included cover and gasket allow the conduit body to be:
- Opened for wire pulling or maintenance
- Sealed for moisture resistance in wet or outdoor locations
This makes it useful for both service entrance and general conduit routing applications.
Conduit bodies like SLB types are commonly used as pull points and directional fittings in electrical conduit systems.
