Marco, I'm curious to know what you did after the "hard" lesson. Was it an issue of difficult/impossible installation, or an AHJ issue? It seems like the most straightforward solution in a situation like this is to replace your conduit bodies (LBs in this case) with a larger size, and then install reducers in order to leave the existing conduit runs intact. I'm looking at an upcoming installation where I would like to use 1-1/4" EMT, but will need 1-1/2" conduit bodies to be ok with wire fill. -Hans
_____ From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Marco Mangelsdorf Sent: Thursday, August 12, 2010 8:19 PM To: 'RE-wrenches' Subject: [RE-wrenches] Aluminum conduit LBs Anyone know where I could go to find out the max conductor sizes that threaded Al. LBs can handle? I learned the hard way that a conduit of X inches that can handle conductors of a certain size does not necessarily mean that a LB of the same diameter can handle the same size conductors. Thanks, marco
