Is a Hubbell aluminum LB075 LB allowed in a Class 1 Div 2 location with IMC conduit ? Do conduit bodies have to specify they are rated for a class 1 Div 2 location ?
It depends.Is a Hubbell aluminum LB075 LB allowed in a Class 1 Div 2 location with IMC conduit ? Do conduit bodies have to specify they are rated for a class 1 Div 2 location ?
We have no arching devices these LB and C fittings are just for pulling purposes .It depends.
See 501.10(B) for allowed wiring methods. There are some cases where fittings need to be explosionproof in Division 2 - see 501.10(B)(4)
I don't recall ever seeing any listed for division 2.In general, conduit bodies that are suitable for use in hazardous locations are marked with a rating that corresponds to the type of hazard and the location. For example, the marking may indicate that the conduit body is rated for Class 1 Div 2 or Class 2 Div 2 locations. The marking may also indicate the type of conduit that is compatible with the conduit body.
Or RMC for that matter.Have you seen IMC listed for any hazardous location?
i don't recall seeing them marked as suitable either. I don't recall markings on standard condulet fittings, which are suitable for Div 2. 500.8 has requirements for equipment to be marked, I don't believe that would apply to conduit fittings.I don't recall ever seeing any listed for division 2.
