Cantex 5144020 2-1/2" SCH 40 PVC Expansion Coupling

Cantex 5144020 2-1/2" SCH 40 PVC Expansion Coupling

The Cantex 5144020 is a 2-1/2" Schedule 40 PVC expansion coupling engineered to absorb thermal expansion and contraction movement in rigid PVC conduit runs. Manufactured from durable PVC in the Schedule 40 wall thickness, this one-piece expansion fitting is designed to accommodate the linear movement that occurs in long conduit runs exposed to temperature swings, helping prevent stress cracking, joint separation, and conduit damage over time. Built to the Cantex quality standard, the 2-1/2" expansion coupling is a straightforward, code-conscious solution for electrical contractors installing PVC conduit systems where expansion joints are required by code or engineering practice.
