What Electrical Fittings Are Available?
Electrical fittings protect, connect and secure electrical wiring to create safe electrical connections. These fittings come in various sizes and materials to accommodate different applications. Various types of electrical fittings are also available to offer maximum application flexibility. Some common fitting types include:
- Rigid fittings: These fittings are common in industrial settings. They are often made of metal, but PVC fittings are also available if you need a more lightweight option.
- Flexible fittings: These components connect electrical conduit to fixtures, junction boxes and machines. With their ability to bend and twist, flexible conduit fittings can fit into tight spaces. You’ll find them in residential, commercial and industrial settings.
- Conduit connectors: Utilize connectors to attach conduit to an outlet box, secure conduit to a load center or connect to another device. You can also connect two lines of conduit with connectors.
- Conduit couplings: Use these fittings to form a long, straight conduit line by joining materials of the same type.
- Conduit elbows: These fittings allow you to make a turn in a conduit run by joining materials of the same type. Fittings with 90 or 45-degree elbows will enable you to place your wiring where you want.
Conduits reliably safeguard your wiring and shield people from injury. While polyamide conduits are heat- and chemical-resistant and waterproof, you want to ensure your fittings offer the same protection. Choose liquid-tight electrical conduit fittings to match. These fittings seal out water and are UV-resistant.
What Type of Conduit Fitting Do You Need?
When you select a conduit fitting, ensuring a secure fit is essential. Consider these main factors:
- Conduit type: Your fitting needs to be compatible with the conduit you’re using. Metal, flexible and PVC conduits will all have specific requirements.
- Bend angle: If you need to navigate obstacles, you may need conduit elbows or flexible fittings.
- Conduit size: Your fittings should match the diameter of the conduit.
- Environment: Will your conduit be used in an industrial setting, and what kind of environmental stresses will it need to withstand? Consider temperature, potential exposure to corrosive materials and location when you choose a fitting.
- Electrical codes: Fittings should align with electrical codes and standards for sizing and conduit type.
