Appleton GRLL50 Conduit Body
The Appleton GRLL50 is positioned as a premium, corrosion-resistant conduit body with integrated gasketing and high-IP sealing suitable for hazardous and outdoor environments, giving it an edge where weatherproofing and safety certifications matter. Compared with the Thomas & Betts LB57 and Crouse-Hinds Form 7, the GRLL50 typically carries a higher upfront price but reduces lifecycle costs in corrosive settings by limiting maintenance and replacements. For conduit bodies applications it is often selected when specification-grade sealing, hazardous location ratings, and minimal downtime are prioritized.

Ipex Scepter PVC LB Conduit Body
The Ipex Scepter PVC LB conduit body is a lightweight, corrosion-immune option that offers excellent chemical resistance and low material cost for nonmetallic conduit systems, making it the economical choice for irrigation, pool, and corrosive-chemical environments. Compared to metal bodies like Thomas & Betts or Crouse-Hinds, the Ipex unit dramatically reduces material and handling cost and eliminates galvanic corrosion concerns, though it is not suitable for high-temperature or intrinsically safe hazardous locations where metal bodies excel. For conduit bodies use cases focused on cost-sensitive, nonmetallic installations, the Scepter LB provides clear budget and maintenance advantages.
