Southwire 1038 Pvc Terminal Adapter 3 Inch

Product Description

The SOUTHWIRE 1038 is a 3-inch PVC terminal adapter designed to connect conduit runs to enclosures, panels, and junction boxes in electrical installations. This fitting provides a clean, secure transition point where rigid or flexible PVC conduit meets a knockout entry, maintaining raceway integrity throughout the system. Licensed electricians and electrical contractors rely on this type of adapter during new construction and retrofit wiring work where a reliable, code-compliant conduit termination is required.

The 1038 terminal adapter is suited for use in residential, commercial, and light industrial electrical systems where 3-inch PVC conduit is specified. It is commonly installed at panel enclosures, pull boxes, and equipment terminations in both interior and exterior environments where PVC conduit is the preferred raceway material due to its corrosion resistance and cost efficiency.

Key Features

• 3-inch PVC construction for use with standard 3-inch conduit systems
• Provides a secure termination point at enclosures, panels, and junction boxes
• PVC material resists corrosion, making it suitable for wet and outdoor locations
• Designed for compatibility with standard PVC conduit knockout entries

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard-fit terminal adapter for 3-inch PVC conduit raceway systems in residential and commercial electrical installations.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed electrician in accordance with applicable NEC requirements. De-energize all circuits and verify lockout/tagout procedures before working inside any panel or enclosure. Solvent cement appropriate for PVC conduit fittings should be used to secure the adapter to the conduit end per manufacturer and code requirements. Do not overtighten locknuts against enclosure walls, as this may crack the fitting.
