Cantex 5233830 Pvc Conduit Elbow 90 Degree 3 Inch Sch 40

Product Description

The CANTEX 5233830 is a Schedule 40 PVC rigid conduit elbow designed for underground and concrete encasement electrical raceway installations. It features a standard-radius 90-degree bend with a 13-inch bend radius and a 3-inch trade size, making it a common choice for transitioning conduit runs through structural concrete, ductbanks, and direct-burial applications. The belled end style allows direct solvent-weld connection to mating conduit without additional couplings. Listed to UL 651 and ETL, and manufactured to NEMA TC-3 standards, this elbow is appropriate for licensed electricians working on commercial, industrial, and utility conduit systems.

This elbow is used in 3-inch PVC conduit systems routed through concrete encasements, underground ductbanks, and conduit stub-up applications. Schedule 40 PVC construction suits standard electrical raceway requirements where the conduit is protected by concrete or direct burial. It is not rated for exposed above-grade applications or areas requiring Schedule 80 impact resistance. Typical installations include site utilities, building feeders, and service entrance raceways where a 90-degree direction change is required. The part is sold individually and also available in cartons of 14 units for project-scale procurement.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed electricians in accordance with the National Electrical Code (NEC) and applicable local codes. De-energize all circuits in the raceway before pulling wire through installed conduit. Use approved PVC solvent cement on the belled end socket and the mating conduit for a proper watertight joint; follow solvent cure times before backfilling or encasing in concrete. Do not use this Schedule 40 elbow in exposed, above-grade locations where Schedule 80 is required by code.
