Schedule 40 PVC Conduit | Rigid Nonmetallic | Bell End | 10' & 20' Sticks
Schedule 40 PVC Conduit, Bell End — heavy wall rigid nonmetallic conduit for underground and aboveground electrical raceway, in 10 and 20 ft sticks, 1/2" through 6".
Schedule 40 is the general-purpose rigid PVC conduit: ETL listed to UL 651 and manufactured to NEMA TC-2, so it can be installed underground, encased in concrete, or exposed aboveground under NEC Article 352. It is a quarter the weight of steel, non-conductive, will not rust, and joins by solvent weld through the integral bell on each stick. Rated for 90°C conductors and sunlight resistant. For areas subject to physical damage the code calls for Schedule 80; for utility duct banks that do not need a UL listing, the lower-cost Schedule 40 Utility grade covers the same sizes.
