XW 45° x 48" STANDARD RADIUS ELBOWS - BELOW GROUND

The XW 45° x 48" Standard Radius Elbow is a robust and reliable conduit fitting designed for above-ground installations that demand maximum durability and safety in hazardous or high-impact environments. Made from Extra Heavy Wall (XW) type conduit, this fitting is specifically engineered to meet the rigorous standards required in Class I, Division 2 hazardous locations. With a wall thickness of 0.250 inches, the XW elbow provides exceptional strength and resistance, making it an ideal choice for industries that require conduit systems capable of withstanding tough conditions.

Key Features and Benefits:

• Superior Protection for Critical Infrastructure: The XW 45° elbow is primarily used in environments where safety and performance are non-negotiable. Common applications include wastewater treatment plants, where its corrosion resistance ensures long-lasting reliability in harsh chemical environments, and utility companies that need to protect sensitive fiber-optic cables in above-ground and under-bridge applications. This elbow fitting ensures that the conduit system will hold up under pressure and resist damage from both environmental factors and mechanical impacts.
• Designed for Hazardous Locations: As part of the Class I, Division 2 rated system, the XW elbow is engineered for use in areas where flammable gases, vapors, or liquids may be present. This makes it an essential component in industrial facilities, petrochemical plants, refineries, and other locations with explosive or volatile materials. Its extra-heavy wall construction offers peace of mind, knowing that it provides protection not only from external damage but also from the risks associated with hazardous materials.
• Impact Resistance and Corrosion Protection: The XW conduit system is renowned for its impact strength and resistance to corrosion, ensuring that your electrical and communication systems remain intact even in the most challenging environments. The conduit is resistant to most chemicals, making it an excellent choice for industrial settings where exposure to harsh substances is frequent. Its heavy-duty construction also means that it can withstand severe physical impacts, protecting the integrity of your wiring and cables.
• Reliable Performance in High-Risk Areas: The XW conduit is often specified for installations in areas susceptible to damage, as outlined in NEC Article 355.10F. This includes locations where the conduit is exposed to potential physical damage due to equipment or other physical activities. With the XW 45° x 48" elbow, your conduit system is able to meet the stringent safety and durability standards required by the National Electrical Code (NEC) for high-risk environments.
• Bullet-Resistant Strength: A standout feature of the XW conduit system is its remarkable strength. The conduit has been tested to withstand a .45 caliber bullet at 20 feet, showcasing its extraordinary impact resistance. This makes it one of the toughest options available, ensuring that your installations are protected against severe mechanical forces, whether from accidental impacts or intentional damage.
• Straight Socket Connection: To ensure a secure and reliable installation, all XW conduit sizes come with the Straight Socket connection. This connection type provides a simple, effective way to join lengths of conduit, ensuring a tight and stable fit that prevents any leaks or disruptions in the electrical or communication system.

Applications:

• Wastewater Treatment Plants: Protects electrical and communication lines in corrosive environments.
• Utility Companies: Safeguards fiber-optic cables in above-ground and under-bridge applications.
• Industrial and Hazardous Locations: Ideal for installations in Class I, Division 2 hazardous locations, as well as areas prone to physical impact.
• Above-Ground Installations: Perfect for above-ground installations requiring superior protection against the elements and mechanical damage.

The XW 45° x 48" Standard Radius Elbow is the perfect solution for those requiring a reliable, long-lasting, and durable conduit fitting for demanding environments. Its combination of corrosion resistance, impact strength, and hazardous location certification makes it a go-to choice for industries that demand nothing less than the best. Whether you're outfitting critical infrastructure or protecting sensitive systems in challenging conditions, this elbow provides the high-performance protection you need to ensure the safety and longevity of your installations.
