LB's

[guschash]

Where in the code does it say that you can spice wire in LB ? I know I read some place about cubic inch space . That if it was mark with cubic in that it was ok to spice in LB's.

I'm on a bus. Isn't the requirement that the conduit body has more than two entries, or words to that affect? Splices in an LB would not be allowed. Ts, yes. Not that it never happens...

I'm not seeing that. I only see that the conduit body must be marked with the volume, and the volume has to be calculated per table 314.16(B).

 

[augie47]

(2) With Splices, Taps, or Devices. Only those conduit bodies that are durably and legibly marked by the manufacturer with their volume shall be permitted to contain splices, taps, or devices. The maximum number of conductors shall be calculated in accordance with 314.16(B). Conduit bodies shall be supported in a rigid and secure manner.‐

The "two or more entries" rule last appeared as 370-6(b) in the 1990 code.

I just remember mike holt saying this can be done but I always want to see proof such as NEC code reference to back it

Remember, the NEC is permissive by default.

I’m yea I don’t fully understand? Are you saying that if they don’t diss allow a practice then it’s permissible?
