Atkore 5140052 Epvc Female Adapter 4 Inches

Product Description

The ATKORE 5140052 is a 4-inch EPVC female adapter designed for use in electrical conduit systems where a threaded female connection is required. EPVC (electrical-grade PVC) construction provides resistance to moisture, corrosion, and common chemicals found in commercial and industrial installation environments. This fitting accepts a male-threaded conduit end and transitions it into a solvent-weld socket connection, allowing a secure joint within a PVC conduit run. Licensed electricians and electrical contractors install this type of adapter during conduit assembly for new construction, retrofit, and service-upgrade projects.

This female adapter is suited for electrical conduit installations in residential, commercial, and light industrial applications. It is typically used at panel entries, junction points, and conduit terminations where a male-threaded conduit or fitting must be joined into a straight PVC conduit run. The 4-inch size accommodates larger conduit systems carrying multiple conductors or larger-gauge wiring.

Key Features

• 4-inch nominal size for large-diameter PVC conduit systems
• EPVC (electrical-grade PVC) material offers corrosion and moisture resistance
• Female threaded inlet accepts standard male-threaded conduit fittings
• Solvent-weld socket end provides a secure, permanent conduit connection
• Designed for use in standard electrical conduit assemblies

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard fitting for 4-inch electrical PVC conduit systems.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed electrician in accordance with the National Electrical Code (NEC) and applicable local codes. De-energize and lock out all circuits before working on or near any conduit system. Use appropriate PVC solvent cement on the socket end and allow adequate cure time before pulling conductors. Avoid over-tightening the threaded connection, which can crack EPVC fittings.
