ABSTRACT:
A conduit body assembly that can easily be reconfigured at a job site into any of several specific conduit body configurations, depending on the particular requirements at the site. The assembly includes a conduit body and one or more hubs that may be secured to the conduit body to form various conduit bodies such as LB, C, T, LL, or LR. The conduit body includes a bottom, side walls, end walls, and a top cover. The bottom, side walls, and end walls each include one or more threaded apertures and a threaded blank installed in each aperture. The hubs each include a threaded inner end. One or more blanks may be removed from the apertures on the conduit body and replaced by a hub at each such aperture to form various conduit bodies such as LB, C, T, LL, or LR. The conduit body assembly of the present invention makes it very simple for an installer to configure a conduit body to fit a particular need at the job site. The top cover may be removed to make wiring connections and then replaced to form a rain tight junction box at an intersection of electrical conduits.
