Lb junctions

[Gerby]

I have heard conflicting stories about junctions in Lb's some say yes some say no some say only if tha Lb is marked with a volume. Does anyone have a code rule for this?

I don't believe 12-910 directly applies to conduit fittings such as L.B.s.

Here in Alberta the provision to splice in an L.B. is made in the Standata (local amendments) in the amendment and interpretation of 12-3002. Which states "The code does not permit "conduit fittings" to be used as a junction box. However in Alberta we have interpreted.......The fitting must also comply with the requirements of Rule 12-3036 and Table 22".

I checked the Manitoba amendments and there doesn't seem to be an amendment for this. Both provincial amendments can be found by going to www.codemath.com and clicking on links.

I agree with ccrash, here in Alberta and ammendment has been made to splice in LB's, mainly for splicing solonoid valves or photocells, which generally have only 3-4 inches of wire coming from them.

I think the rule you're looking for is 12-910
