Cut Sheet
mils in thickness continuous over the entire length of the conduit except at
the threads, and be free of blisters, bubbles or pinholes. PVC shall be UL
listed as a primary corrosion protection.
A blue urethane coating shall be uniformly and consistently applied to the
interior of conduit. This internal coating shall be a nominal 2-mil thickness.
All male threads on elbows and nipples shall be protected by this same
application of urethane coating.
Coated couplings shall be used with coated conduit. The thickness of the
coating on couplings shall be at least equal to the thickness of the coating
on the conduit. Each coated coupling shall have a flexible PVC sleeve
which extends from each end of the coupling and which will overlap the
PVC coating on the conduit when the coupling has been installed on the
conduit. The length of the sleeve extension(s) shall be at least equivalent
to the nominal conduit size for sizes up through 2”. For sizes 2” – 6”, the
length of the sleeve extension(s) shall be at least 2 in. The PVC sleeve
shall be a nominal thickness of 40 mils in thickness. The inside diameter
of the overlapping sleeve shall be less than the outside diameter of the
PVC-coated conduit.
B. PVC COATED RIDIG ALUMINUM CONDUIT:
The PVC coated ERMC- aluminum conduit prior to coating shall be UL
listed. The PVC coated ERMC- aluminum conduit shall be UL listed with
the PVC as the primary corrosion protection.
The exterior of the conduit shall have a PVC coating of a minimum
thickness of nominal 40 mils.
A blue urethane coating shall be uniformly and consistently applied to the
interior of conduit. This internal coating shall be a nominal 2-mil thickness.
All male threads on elbows and nipples shall be protected by this same
application of urethane coating.
Coated couplings shall be used with coated conduit. The thickness of the
coating on couplings shall be at least equal to the thickness of the coating
on the conduit. Each coated coupling shall have a flexible PVC sleeve
which extends from each end of the coupling and which will overlap the
PVC coating on the conduit when the coupling has been installed on the
conduit. The length of the sleeve extension(s) shall be at least equivalent
to the nominal conduit size for sizes up through 2”. For sizes 2” – 6”, the
length of the sleeve extension(s) shall be at least 2 in. The PVC sleeve
shall be a nominal thickness of 40 mils in thickness. The inside diameter
of the overlapping sleeve shall be less than the outside diameter of the
PVC-coated conduit.
C. PVC COATED ORDINARY LOCATION FITTINGS
PVC coated ferrous and aluminum fittings for general service and
corrosive locations must be UL listed. The PVC coating shall be minimum
40 mils in thickness, and be free of blisters, bubbles or pinholes. Female
threads on fittings shall be protected by application of urethane coating.
