A TB style conduit body is a type of electrical conduit fitting used primarily to provide access to conductors for pulling, splicing, and maintenance. Here's a breakdown of its main features:
TB stands for Tee Back:
It has a T-shaped body with a back-side access cover (opposite the straight-through run).
The conduit enters from the left and right sides (straight run), and the access is from the back.
Usage:
Ideal for tight spaces where access is needed from the back rather than from the top or side.
Common in wall-mounted conduit runs where front or side access isn’t feasible.
Conduit Types:
Compatible with rigid metal conduit (RMC) and intermediate metal conduit (IMC).
Also available for EMT (Electrical Metallic Tubing) with compression or set-screw fittings.
Material Options:
Typically made from aluminum, die-cast zinc, or malleable iron.
Corrosion-resistant coatings or versions are available for outdoor or wet locations.
Covers and Gaskets:
Usually includes a removable cover and may have a neoprene gasket for moisture sealing (for weatherproof models).
Labeling & Standards:
Marked with volume (in cubic inches) to help ensure compliance with NEC (National Electrical Code) box fill calculations.
UL-listed and meets various electrical code standards.
