Cantex PVC Schedule 40 Expansion Coupling for Rigid Conduit

Cantex PVC Schedule 40 Expansion Coupling for Rigid Conduit

The Cantex PVC Schedule 40 Expansion Coupling is engineered to accommodate axial movement in rigid PVC conduit runs caused by thermal expansion and contraction. This family of expansion couplings is available in 2" and 3" trade sizes, giving installers a Schedule 40 PVC fitting sized to match their conduit run so they can maintain a continuous, properly supported raceway in installations where temperature swings would otherwise stress a fixed joint. Built from PVC for corrosion resistance, the Cantex expansion coupling is a purpose-built component for professional electrical and telecommunications conduit systems that require slip capability without sacrificing raceway integrity.

Key Features

• Trade Size: Available in 2" and 3" sizing for direct compatibility with matching Schedule 40 PVC conduit runs.
• Durable Construction: PVC material provides corrosion and chemical resistance for long service life in exposed and buried conduit systems.
• Schedule 40 Rated: Matches the wall thickness and pressure classification of standard Schedule 40 PVC conduit for consistent system performance across both the 2" and 3" sizes.
• Expansion Function: Purpose-built expansion coupling design compensates for conduit movement due to temperature-driven expansion and contraction, reducing stress on joints and supports.
• Lightweight, Non-Metallic Design: PVC construction simplifies handling and installation compared to metallic conduit fittings, while eliminating the risk of galvanic corrosion.
