About Conduit

Rigid PVC Conduit

For technical drawings and 3-D models, click on a part number.

Conduit

Also known as PVC Schedule 40 conduit, this conduit is corrosion resistant and UV light resistant for outdoor use. It is lightweight with strong walls to provide protection from damage. It can be buried or encased in concrete.

The female end is expanded so another piece of conduit can be pushed in to connect without a fitting. PVC cement is required (not included) when joining conduit and push-in ends on fittings and access ports.

8-ft. lengths can be shipped via small-parcel carrier.

Flanged End

Attach PVC Schedule 40 or Schedule 80 conduit to a knockout in an outlet box or enclosure. These adapters are lightweight, corrosion resistant, and UV light resistant for outdoor use. They can be buried or encased in concrete. PVC cement is required (not included) to secure push-in connections.

Adapters with NPT threads connect unthreaded conduit to threaded fittings and knockouts. Push-in male × flanged end male adapters, also known as box adapters, install through a knockout from inside an electrical enclosure.

Straight Adapters—Zinc

Compression

Screw-Clamp

Use these adapters to attach thin-wall (EMT) steel conduit to a knockout in an outlet box or enclosure. A compression end offers a more reliable hold on conduit than a screw-clamp end. It pushes onto the conduit; tighten the compression ring to secure. The screw-clamp end tightens around conduit with a screw.

Adapters with grommet protect wire and cable from abrasion when being pulled.
