Southwire 1028 Pvc Female Adapter 3 Inch

Product Description

The SOUTHWIRE 1028 is a 3-inch PVC female adapter designed for use in electrical conduit installations. This fitting accepts a male-threaded conduit end and transitions it into a solvent-weld or slip-fit PVC conduit run. It is constructed from rigid PVC, making it resistant to corrosion and suitable for both direct-burial and exposed conduit applications. Electricians rely on this type of adapter to terminate or extend conduit runs at junction boxes, panels, and enclosures where a threaded connection is required.

This adapter is suited for residential and commercial electrical conduit systems using 3-inch Schedule 40 or Schedule 80 PVC conduit. Typical applications include service entrance runs, underground feeder conduit, and large-diameter branch circuit raceways. It is most commonly installed by licensed electricians during rough-in or service work where conduit transitions from threaded to non-threaded sections.

Key Features

• 3-inch female adapter configuration for threaded-to-slip PVC conduit transitions
• PVC construction offers corrosion resistance for underground and exposed installations
• Compatible with standard solvent-weld PVC conduit assembly methods
• Suitable for use in direct-burial conduit systems

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement fitting for 3-inch PVC electrical conduit systems. Confirm conduit schedule and thread standard before installation.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed electrician in accordance with applicable NEC requirements. De-energize all circuits in the conduit run before making connections. Use approved PVC solvent cement on the slip end per the cement manufacturer's instructions, and ensure threads on the male conduit end are clean and undamaged before assembly. Do not over-tighten threaded connections, as PVC threads can crack under excessive force.
