Ipex 112pec Pvc Sch40 Conduit Expansion Coupling 1.5 in

Product Description

The IPEX 112pec is a 1-1/2 inch trade size PVC Schedule 40 conduit expansion coupling designed to accommodate thermal expansion and contraction in rigid PVC conduit runs. This two-piece fitting allows the conduit system to move longitudinally without stressing junction points or pulling fittings apart. It is a standard component in exposed or direct-buried PVC conduit installations where temperature swings cause measurable expansion across long straight runs. Licensed electricians and electrical contractors install this fitting as part of code-compliant raceway systems.

This expansion coupling is suited for use in residential, commercial, and light industrial electrical installations where PVC Schedule 40 conduit is the specified raceway. Typical applications include long straight conduit runs on building exteriors, in parking structures, and along rooftops where ambient temperature variation is significant. The fitting is also used in underground conduit systems where soil movement or temperature differentials require a flexible mechanical connection between conduit sections.

Key Features

• Two-piece construction allows axial movement to compensate for thermal expansion and contraction
• 1-1/2 inch trade size fits standard Schedule 40 PVC conduit of the same trade designation
• PVC material provides corrosion resistance suitable for wet, damp, and direct-burial locations
• Schedule 40 rating compatible with standard PVC conduit system components at this trade size

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard fitment for 1-1/2 inch trade size PVC Schedule 40 conduit systems in electrical raceway applications.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed electricians in accordance with applicable NEC requirements for conduit expansion fittings. Power down all circuits in the conduit run before beginning work on an existing system. PVC conduit cement appropriate for Schedule 40 fittings should be used on the fixed end of the coupling per manufacturer instructions; do not cement both ends, as this defeats the expansion function. Consult local codes for required placement intervals on long straight runs.
