Abb E9842D Pvc Box Adapter 1/2 Inch

Product Description

The ABB E9842D is a 1/2 inch PVC box adapter designed to connect PVC conduit to electrical outlet boxes and junction boxes. This fitting provides a secure, weather-resistant transition point between the conduit run and the box knockout, maintaining the integrity of a non-metallic raceway system. Electricians use this adapter in both residential and light commercial installations where Schedule 40 or Schedule 80 PVC conduit is specified. The PVC construction resists corrosion and moisture, making it well suited for damp or wet location wiring.

This adapter is typically installed in conduit runs that terminate at device boxes, junction boxes, or panel enclosures with 1/2 inch knockouts. It is commonly used in residential rough-in wiring, underground feeder applications, and exposed conduit work where a non-metallic system is preferred or required. The fitting threads or snaps into the box knockout and accepts standard 1/2 inch PVC conduit on the opposing end.

Key Features

• PVC construction provides corrosion resistance in damp and wet locations
• Compatible with non-metallic raceway systems using Schedule 40 or Schedule 80 conduit

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style fitting for use with 1/2 inch PVC conduit systems and standard electrical boxes with 1/2 inch knockouts.

Installation Notes

A licensed electrician should install this fitting in accordance with applicable NEC requirements for PVC conduit systems. De-energize all circuits and verify with a meter before beginning work at any box or enclosure. PVC conduit cement is typically required to secure the conduit to the adapter; do not rely on friction fit alone. Inspect the box knockout for burrs or damage before installing the adapter to ensure a proper seal.
