Material & Standards Reference
Specification starting points for Nonmetallic Corner Bodies.
Nonmetallic Corner Bodies belongs to the conduit system component category. Material names, standards and coating descriptions below help buyers structure an RFQ; they are not a declaration that every offered configuration complies. Grade, edition, inspection level and acceptance criteria belong on the controlled drawing or purchase specification. (industry reference data, final values per drawing/quotation)
Mechanical performance
Use the tensile strength, yield or proof strength, elongation, hardness, impact and heat-treatment requirements published for the selected material grade. Relevant properties differ by product form and test-piece basis. They describe material quality, not the capacity of the finished Nonmetallic Corner Bodies; final suitability depends on geometry, interfaces, manufacturing condition and verification.
Finish and records
Specify plain, zinc-coated, hot-dip galvanized, painted, passivated or another compatible finish by a recognized coating specification where applicable. Define preparation, appearance, restricted substances, repair rules, packaging and required inspection documents instead of relying on a color photograph.
| Reference | Standard name | How to use it |
|---|---|---|
| UL 514A | Metallic Outlet Boxes | Use as an RFQ reference only when applicable; edition, scope and acceptance evidence must be agreed. |
| UL 514B | Conduit, Tubing, and Cable Fittings | Use as an RFQ reference only when applicable; edition, scope and acceptance evidence must be agreed. |
| CSA C22.2 No. 18.3 | Conduit, tubing, and cable fittings | Use as an RFQ reference only when applicable; edition, scope and acceptance evidence must be agreed. |
| NEMA FB 1 | Fittings, Cast Metal Boxes, and Conduit Bodies | Use as an RFQ reference only when applicable; edition, scope and acceptance evidence must be agreed. |
| ASME B1.20.1 | Pipe Threads, General Purpose (Inch) | Use as an RFQ reference only when applicable; edition, scope and acceptance evidence must be agreed. |
| EN 10204 | Metallic products — Types of inspection documents | Use as an RFQ reference only when applicable; edition, scope and acceptance evidence must be agreed. |
Specification caution: naming a material, coating or dimensional standard does not create a product rating, approval, certification or warranty. Any required capacity, pressure class, temperature limit, listing or test must be confirmed for the exact quoted part. (industry reference data, final values per drawing/quotation)
Selection Decision Guide
Turn the application into a checkable purchasing specification.
Selection for Nonmetallic Corner Bodies should begin with conduit trade size, hub direction, wiring access, enclosure material, sealing method, location classification and applicable electrical code. Keep required facts separate from supplier proposals so reviewers can see what is mandatory and what remains open. (industry reference data, final values per drawing/quotation)
| Decision | Information to provide | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| Interface and geometry | Drawing, nominal or actual dimensions, tolerances, mating components, clearances, orientation and accessible assembly space. | Prevents selection from a family name or image and allows the complete connection to be checked. |
| Service condition | Function, direction of forces, movement, vibration, indoor or outdoor exposure, moisture, chemicals and maintenance access. | Guides material, finish, locking, restraint and inspection choices without inventing an unverified rating. |
| Compliance route | Destination market, governing code, required standard edition, customer specification, marking and third-party approval needs. | Separates a generally suitable design from a configuration qualified for a regulated project. |
| Supply and quality | Quantity, release pattern, drawing revision, critical characteristics, sampling, traceability, packaging and documents. | Aligns manufacturing and inspection with the commercial requirement and repeat-order control. |
Ask the supplier to identify exclusions and assumptions in the quotation. Compare offers against the same revision and requirement list; a lower price is not comparable if material, coating, inspection, packaging or documentation scope differs. Final commercial values remain per quotation.

General receiving, fitting and inspection workflow.
(industry reference data, final values per drawing/quotation)
Receive and identify
Match labels, part identity, material or heat references where required, quantity and documents to the purchase order. Quarantine mixed, damaged, corroded or unidentifiable pieces instead of releasing them to installation.
Check the interface
Verify the actual mating dimensions, thread or connection form, contact surfaces, orientation and working clearance. Clean protective debris without removing functional coatings or altering critical edges.
Assemble correctly
Match every hub to the listed conduit system, keep threads and sealing surfaces clean, maintain conductor bending space, fit the specified cover and gasket, and preserve grounding, bonding and enclosure requirements. Installation must follow the applicable electrical code and approved product instructions. Any torque, clearance, sealant, gasket, lubrication or locking value must come from the approved instruction for the exact product.
Inspect and maintain
Record completion where the quality plan requires it. Inspect for seating, alignment, locking, leakage where relevant, coating damage and interference. Establish service checks from the system risk assessment and replace parts that fail the applicable acceptance criteria.
- Do not infer capacity or suitability from appearance, catalog category, material name or a similar product.
- Do not mix bodies, pins, nuts, fasteners, seals, liners or accessories unless compatibility is documented.
- Do not repair, weld, heat, bend, grind, drill or reuse a component unless the controlled procedure permits it.
- Escalate any mismatch between the site condition and approved drawing before the assembly is put into service.
Related & Compatible Products
Compare the complete function before choosing an alternative.
Compare straight, corner and tee body forms by conductor pulling path and access; compare metallic and nonmetallic constructions by grounding, corrosion, impact and environmental requirements. Compatibility includes the mating dimensions, material couple, coating, fastener or seal system, installation method, inspection basis and service environment. (industry reference data, final values per drawing/quotation)
Standard configuration
Best when an established size, connection and documented product scope match the application. Confirm the exact designation and do not extend published information to another variant.
Adjacent product family
Useful when the required function or interface differs. Review the whole assembly, because an alternative component can move forces, change clearances or require different accessories and installation controls.
Made-to-drawing option
Consider when geometry, material, marking, finish or packaging cannot be met by a standard item. Freeze the drawing, validation plan and change-control route before repeat production.
Application FAQ
Additional questions about Nonmetallic Corner Bodies.
(industry reference data, final values per drawing/quotation)
Does a cited ASTM, ISO, EN, ASME or MSS standard prove product compliance?
No. The reference helps define material, dimensions, coating, test method or use practice within its own scope. Compliance requires the applicable edition, product configuration, acceptance criteria and agreed evidence. A standards list on a general webpage is not a certificate.
How should mechanical properties be specified?
Name the material standard, grade, product form, heat-treatment condition where relevant, required inspection document and any supplementary tests. Use the values in the governing published standard rather than copying an isolated number. Finished-product capacity or performance still requires design and verification for the exact geometry.
What information prevents the most quotation delays?
Provide a legible drawing or complete dimensional description, application and mating parts, material and finish, quantity and release schedule, destination market, required standards, critical characteristics, marking, packaging and document needs. Identify any requirement that cannot change.
Can material or finish be substituted?
Only after technical and commercial review. A substitute can change strength, ductility, corrosion behavior, friction, thread fit, coating thickness, galvanic compatibility, manufacturing route and inspection evidence. Record an approved deviation before production.
How are final ratings or service limits obtained?
Request verified data for the exact part number, revision, material, assembly orientation and mating components. The quotation or approved technical package should state the applicable basis. This page intentionally supplies no invented load, pressure, temperature or price values.
What should incoming inspection cover?
Check identity, quantity, revision, obvious damage, corrosion protection, critical dimensions and the documents named in the purchase order. Sampling, gauges and acceptance limits should be agreed in the quality plan. Keep nonconforming items segregated pending disposition.
When is a custom version appropriate?
A custom route is appropriate when the standard interface, geometry, material, finish, marking, inspection or packaging cannot satisfy the application. Provide annual demand and validation expectations so tooling, casting, forging, stamping, machining or fabrication options can be reviewed.
What controls should apply to repeat orders?
Reference the approved drawing revision and agreed specification, preserve approved samples or inspection records as appropriate, and require notification before material, process, tooling or supplier changes that affect critical characteristics. Reconfirm requirements after a design or application change.
Nonmetallic Corner Body
Polymer compatibility and bend access matter more than resemblance to a metal LB.
Define the raceway system, trade size, corner orientation, conductor fill/pull requirements, cover method, location and sunlight/chemical exposure. Nonmetallic conduit bodies in U.S. certification routes are associated with UL 514C — Nonmetallic Outlet Boxes, Flush-Device Boxes, and Covers and UL 514B as applicable. The exact resin, flame behavior, impact performance and temperature range belong to the evaluated product; do not infer them from color.
Use only compatible solvent-cement or joining instructions for the named raceway. Dry-fit alignment before bonding, prevent cement from entering the wireway, respect cure time and avoid using the body to correct misaligned conduit. Confirm gasket and cover seating before conductor pulling.
