Curved LB's

Hey. Does anyone make a curved LB in sizes 1.5" and greater?? If not, I think they should. I'm getting tired of cramming wires through the LB's then banging them in to make them work with cover on. If someone invented ones with curved covers then we wouldn't have to shove, kick, bang, hammer, the wires in.

Few choices... Try using form 8 conduit bodies. They're the most generous inside without using mogul LB's. Try a form 5 conduit body sometime. They have built-in rollers to make the pulling and stuffing job easier.

Cletis,

Is this what you're looking for? It's an E-Z lb

No, I would just think someone would make those in larger sizes than 1.5" with either extensions or curved covers so you wouldn't have to bang them in. The extension or curve would not get in way of anything in any situation I could see. I think this would help with damaged wires entering the LB hole (knicking, skinning, bend radius etc..)

Like this. Easy to manufacture
