PVC Conduit

PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride) conduit is a lightweight, corrosion-resistant electrical raceway system widely used in underground, concrete encased, and above-ground installations. A cost-effective alternative to metal conduit, PVC conduit is the preferred choice for direct burial, wet locations, and corrosive environments where metal conduit would be susceptible to rust or chemical degradation.

Available in Schedule 40 and Schedule 80 wall thickness ratings, and in trade sizes ½" through 6", PVC conduit meets NEC Article 352 requirements and is UL listed for a broad range of residential, commercial, and industrial applications.

Common Types:

• Schedule 40 PVC — standard wall thickness for general purpose and underground use
• Schedule 80 PVC — heavy wall for exposed above-ground installations requiring impact resistance
• DB-60 & DB-120 — direct burial rated for underground feeder and branch circuit runs
• ENT (Smurf Tube) — flexible corrugated PVC for in-wall and concrete slab applications

Common Applications:

• Underground service entrance and feeder runs
• Concrete encased ductbank installations
• Wet and corrosive location wiring (wastewater, chemical plants, coastal environments)
• Exposed conduit runs in areas where metal is impractical

Key Features:

• Lightweight and easy to cut, glue, and assemble on site
• Immune to rust, corrosion, and most chemicals
• Smooth interior for easy wire pulling
• Available in 10' and 20' lengths
• UL listed, NEC Article 352 compliant, RoHS compliant
