PVC coated conduit is commonly called what? ATP, Conduit Bending and Fabrication, 2007: Chapter 7 Other Conduit Types, PP 117
Robroy, after Robroy Industires, a manufacturer of PVC- coated conduit.
PVC coating On the outside of the conduit is how thick? ATP, Conduit Bending and Fabrication, 2007: Chapter 7 Other Conduit Types, PP 117
40 mils thick. (.040)
Re: PVC conduit What must be done after the threads are cut? ATP, Conduit Bending and Fabrication, 2007: Chapter 7 Other Conduit Types, PP 117
After the threads are cut they must be thoroughly degreased, cleaned, and dried, and then a touch up compound must be applied to the threads.
Clamping tools, such as pipe vices and wrenches, must not have what that can damage the PVC coating? ATP, Conduit Bending and Fabrication, 2007: Chapter 7 Other Conduit Types, PP 118
Teeth.
A common modification to clamping tools with PVC coated conduit is to replace the jaws of a pipe vice with a? ATP, Conduit Bending and Fabrication, 2007: Chapter 7 Other Conduit Types, PP 118
Three sided adapter that spreads the clamping force over a larger area.
Explain how to make a half-shell clamp, to protect PVC coated ridgig conduit in a vice. ATP, Conduit Bending and Fabrication, 2007: Chapter 7 Other Conduit Types, PP 118.
To halves should not do what with one another when clamped on the PVC coated conduit? ATP, Conduit Bending and Fabrication, 2007: Chapter 7 Other Conduit Types, PP118
Two sections of rigid conduit are used, each about 6 inches long in the next larger trade size.
Touch each other.
Can PVC coated conduit be cut with any conventional cutting tools? ATP, Conduit Bending and Fabrication, 2007: Chapter 7 Other Conduit Types, PP 118
Yes, however; as with any conduit the ends must be reamed before use.
Can PVC coated conduit be threaded with standard threading tools? What must be done before threading PVC coated conduit? ATP, Conduit Bending and Fabrication, 2007: Chapter 7 Other Conduit Types, PP 118
Yes. However the PVC coating on the end must be pencil cut (bevilcut) for threading.
What does pencil cutting PVC coated conduit before threading prevent? ATP, Conduit Bending and Fabrication, 2007: Chapter 7 Other Conduit Types, PP 118
This will prevent long strips of the PVC coating from fouling that die.
What must be used to determine the length of the threads before threading PVC coated conduit? ATP, Conduit Bending and Fabrication, 2007: Chapter 7 Other Conduit Types, PP 118
A thread protector cap.
Can PVC coated conduit be bent with standard bending shoes? Why or why not? ATP, Conduit Bending and Fabrication, 2007: Chapter 7 Other Conduit Types, PP 119
No. Because of the PVC coating, the outside diameter is slightly larger than the standard outside diameter.
For hand bending of PVC coated conduit some manufactures recommend what? ATP, Conduit Bending and Fabrication, 2007: Chapter 7 Other Conduit Types, PP 119
Using the next larger size bender.
What is present on couplings in fittings for PVC coated conduit? ATP, Conduit Bending and Fabrication, 2007: Chapter 7 Other Conduit Types, PP 119
Sleeves.
Regarding PVC coated conduit, it is much easier to place the sleeve over PVC coated conduit couplings and fittings when what has been done? ATP, Conduit Bending and Fabrication, 2007: Chapter 7 Other Conduit Types, PP 119
When it has been warmed before installation as in immersing them in warm water until they're soft and pliable.
Slip joint pliers or standard pliers should or should not be used to install PVC coated connectors or fittings? What about threadless fittings? ATP, Conduit Bending and Fabrication, 2007: Chapter 7 Other Conduit Types, PP 120
No. Threadless fittings must not be used with PVC coated conduit.
PVC thickness schedule 20, 40, & 80 should be used under what conditions?ATP, Conduit Bending and Fabrication, 2007: Chapter 7 Other Conduit Types, PP 120
