Cantex 514007 Schedule 40 PVC Female Adapter

Cantex 514007 Schedule 40 PVC Female Adapter

The Cantex 514007 Female Adapter is a Schedule 40 PVC fitting designed to transition rigid PVC conduit runs to threaded male fittings, equipment, or conduit bodies. Available in trade sizes ranging from 1/2" through 5", this family of adapters is molded from durable PVC material and provides a solvent-weld socket on one end and female NPT threads on the other, allowing electrical contractors to make a clean, secure connection between non-metallic conduit and threaded hardware. As part of the Cantex PVC conduit fitting line, this adapter is built for dependable performance in commercial, industrial, and residential electrical raceway systems where PVC conduit is specified, no matter which size best fits the run.

Key Features

• Trade Size Range: Offered in 1/2", 1", 2", 4", and 5" sizes for standard Schedule 40 PVC conduit runs, so contractors can select the size that matches the job.
• Durable Construction: Molded PVC material offers corrosion resistance across every size in the range, making it well suited for use in non-metallic conduit systems where metallic fittings are not desired.
• Female Threaded Connection: Female NPT threads on one end allow direct connection to male-threaded conduit hubs, equipment, boxes, or conduit bodies without additional adapters.
• Solvent-Weld Socket End: The opposite end is sized for a solvent-cement joint to matching Schedule 40 PVC conduit, producing a permanent, moisture-resistant bond regardless of size selected.
• Lightweight, Easy Installation: PVC construction is lightweight compared to metallic fittings across the full size range, simplifying handling and installation on the jobsite.
• Non-Conductive Material: PVC construction does not conduct electricity, which can be an advantage in certain non-metallic raceway applications.
