The maximum number of conductors must be calculated in accordance with 314.16(B). [314.16(C)(2)] Since a conduit body can function as a junction box, the volume allowance required for the conductors must not exceed the volume of the conduit body.Click to see full answer. Beside this, can an LB be used as a junction box?Only LB condulets with legibally marked cubic inch capacity marked in that LB may be used to splice conductors. If that LB condulet is not marked with its cubic inch capacity inside that LB then you must not use that unmarked LB as a junction box.Secondly, can PVC conduit body be buried? Not all types of conduit can be buried in the soil. EMT (Electrical Metallic Tubing) and flexible “Raintite” are not considered suitable for burial. A thicker-walled PVC conduit (called Schedule 80) is required where the conduit is exposed above grade (above the soil) on the side of the house and/or garage. Thereof, how far from a junction box should EMT conduit be supported? EMT must be secured at least every 10 ft. and within 3 ft. of every outlet box, junction box, device box, cabinet, conduit body, or other termination. An exception allows EMT to be fastened up to 5 ft.Can you bury an LB?shall be of materials suitable for the environment in which they are installed. That is called an LB fitting. Buried is not the trouble. The fact that the cover is not accessible is trouble.
