PVC-coated conduit is commonly referred to as "PVC-coated rigid conduit" or "PVC-coated electrical conduit." This type of conduit is a steel conduit that has been coated with a layer of polyvinyl chloride (PVC) on the exterior. The PVC coating provides protection against corrosion and moisture, making it a suitable choice for outdoor and wet environments.
PVC-coated rigid conduit is often used in electrical installations where the conduit needs to be resistant to harsh environmental conditions, such as exposure to water, chemicals, or corrosive substances. It is commonly used in outdoor electrical installations, industrial settings, and locations where the conduit may be exposed to the elements. The PVC coating helps extend the life of the conduit and protects the electrical wiring inside.
This type of conduit can be found under various brand names, but it is typically referred to as PVC-coated rigid conduit or simply PVC-coated conduit in the industry. PVC-coated conduit fittings and accessories, such as connectors and couplings, are also available to complement and complete the conduit system.
