Thomas Betts E996D Conduit Adapter 1/2 Inch Pvc Rigid

Product Description

The THOMAS BETTS E996D is a PVC conduit adapter designed for rigid conduit installations in non-hazardous locations. The fitting uses a glued connection method and is insulated, making it suitable for standard electrical raceway work where a secure, moisture-resistant transition is required. At a 1/2 inch trade size, it is one of the most common sizes encountered in residential and light commercial wiring. Licensed electricians and electrical contractors install this fitting as part of a compliant conduit system.

This adapter is used in non-hazardous area electrical installations where rigid PVC conduit is specified. Typical applications include indoor and outdoor conduit runs in residential, commercial, and light industrial settings where corrosion resistance and a smooth insulated interior are priorities. The glued connection method ensures a secure mechanical and environmental seal at the joint.

Key Features

• 1/2 inch trade size fits the most common residential and commercial conduit runs
• Polyvinylchloride (PVC) construction provides corrosion resistance
• Glued connection type delivers a secure, permanent joint
• Insulated fitting protects conductors at the transition point

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement fitting for rigid PVC conduit systems using 1/2 inch trade size components in non-hazardous electrical installations.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed electrician in accordance with the National Electrical Code (NEC). De-energize the circuit and verify absence of voltage before working on any conduit assembly. Apply appropriate PVC conduit cement to both the fitting socket and conduit end before joining, and allow adequate cure time before pulling conductors. Do not use this fitting in classified hazardous locations.
