A Guide to Conduit Fittings & Accessories

Whether you are looking for PVC fittings, junction boxes, end bells, or Expansion couplings, you will be able to find what you need here. This is an informative guide that will help you understand all of the fittings available and what you need to know to make sure that you get the right one for your project.

PVC molded fittings

Depending on your application, PVC molded conduit fittings & accessories are available in a variety of sizes and threads. They're also rated for temperature and impact resistance.

The most common type of PVC pipe fittings is injection molded. These fittings are produced by injecting hot plastic into a pre-made mold. The cooled product is then ejected from the mold. This is one of the simplest and most practical ways to produce pipe fittings. However, it does require the skills of an experienced mold engineer.

Unlike metal pipes, PVC pipes can withstand flow pressures and are lightweight. They are also cheaper to produce. Aside from these benefits, PVC is also better insulator.

Expansion couplings

AGM Electrical Supplies's patented conduit expansion coupling was designed with the electrician in mind. It is made of electrogalvanized steel and is installed indoors - in the kitchen or in the garage - on a flex duct or a rigid metal conduit. The best part is it has a lifetime warranty and can be used on a single conduit or an entire conduit system. The biggest drawback is its size. 

The big question is: which fitting is the right one for you? AGM offers the complete ductwork package including expansion couplings, conduits, and connectors. AGM also offers the best price guarantee on the entire product line.

Reducing washers

Various fittings are used to connect conduits to boxes, walls, ceilings, and other enclosures. These fittings are made of various materials and are available in a variety of sizes.

Normally, conduit fittings are used to connect the ends of a run of conduit to a box or enclosure. There are many different types of fittings to choose from, and the one that is best for your project depends on the type of conduit you are using.

In addition to the type of conduit you are using, you also need to consider your local electrical code. If you aren't sure how the local building codes affect your type of conduit, contact your local electrical inspector. They can help you choose the right conduits for your installation.

Junction boxes

Generally, junction boxes are used to house wire splices in ceilings and under floors. They are usually used in commercial and domestic buildings.

Typical junction boxes are made from metal, plastic, or other materials. They are designed to provide structural support for wires and to protect them from the environment.

The size of the box is determined by the number of conductors. For example, a four-inch box offers plenty of space for wire connections. It may also include a built-in terminal for connecting wires.

Commercial buildings typically require a larger box than a residential building. A NEMA rated enclosure is ideal for industrial or manufacturing environments.
