Multi Fittings 68738 Long Radius Pvc Elbow 3 Inch 90 Degree

Product Description

The MULTI FITTINGS 68738 is a 3-inch trade size, 90-degree long radius elbow manufactured from PVC for use with rigid conduit systems. With a 24-inch bend radius and an overall length of 49-3/4 inches, this fitting is engineered to provide smooth wire pulling and reduce conduit stress at directional changes. The 6-inch thread length ensures a secure, properly engaged connection at each end. It is installed by licensed electricians on commercial and industrial conduit runs where a gradual sweep is required to protect conductors and comply with pull-point capacity requirements.

This elbow is suited for rigid PVC conduit installations in commercial, industrial, and utility applications where underground or exposed long-radius bends are needed. The generous 24-inch bend radius reduces pulling tension on wire and cable during installation, making it appropriate for larger conductor bundles. Typical installations include site utility runs, building feeders, and underground duct bank applications where code-compliant sweeps are required.

Key Features

• 90-degree sweep angle for directional changes in conduit runs
• 24-inch bend radius reduces cable pulling tension and conductor stress
• 49-3/4-inch overall length accommodates full sweep in the run
• 6-inch thread length for secure, full-engagement threaded connections
• PVC construction resists corrosion, moisture, and chemical exposure
• 3-inch trade size fits standard rigid conduit of the same trade designation

Compatibility

Designed for use with 3-inch trade size rigid 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 all circuits and verify lockout/tagout procedures before working on any conduit system. Use appropriate PVC conduit cement and primer on threaded joints per manufacturer instructions and local code requirements. Do not over-torque threaded connections, as PVC fittings can crack under excessive mechanical stress.
