Atkore 5140050 Epvc Female Adapter 3 Inches

Product Description

The ATKORE 5140050 is a 3-inch EPVC female adapter designed for use in electrical conduit systems where a threaded female connection is required. EPVC (electrical PVC) fittings are built to meet the demands of conduit installation in both exposed and concealed applications. This adapter accepts a male-threaded conduit or fitting end, allowing a secure, leak-resistant mechanical joint. Licensed electricians and electrical contractors install this fitting as part of rigid PVC conduit runs in commercial and residential electrical systems.

This female adapter is suited for 3-inch conduit systems in a range of installation environments, including indoor, outdoor, and underground conduit runs where PVC conduit is the specified raceway material. It is commonly used at junction boxes, pull boxes, enclosures, and conduit transition points where a threaded female termination is needed to complete the run. The 3-inch trade size accommodates larger conduit systems typical of service entrances, feeder runs, and industrial branch circuits.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed electrician in accordance with the National Electrical Code (NEC) and applicable local codes. De-energize all circuits in the work area before beginning conduit assembly. Use PVC conduit cement and primer rated for electrical conduit applications when making solvent-welded connections adjacent to this fitting. Do not over-torque threaded connections, as EPVC fittings can crack under excessive mechanical stress.
