Cantex 4" PVC Service Entrance Head, Weatherproof Conduit Fitting

The Cantex 4" PVC Service Entrance Head is a purpose-built weatherhead designed to terminate rigid PVC conduit runs at the point where overhead or underground service conductors enter a building's electrical system. Molded from durable PVC for corrosion resistance, this 4" trade size service head provides a weathertight transition point that protects service entrance conductors from moisture intrusion while maintaining proper conductor separation and bend radius as they exit the conduit run. As a Cantex product, this service head is engineered to integrate seamlessly with standard Schedule 40 and Schedule 80 PVC conduit systems commonly used in residential, commercial, and utility service entrance applications. The 4" size accommodates larger service entrance conductor bundles typical of higher-amperage commercial and multi-family installations, making it a critical component for electricians and contractors specifying complete PVC conduit service entrance systems.

Key Features

  • Trade Size: Sized for 4" PVC conduit, suited to larger service entrance conductor runs.
  • Durable Construction: Molded PVC construction resists corrosion, rust, and the effects of prolonged outdoor weather exposure.
  • Service Entrance Design: Purpose-built weatherhead configuration directs conductors downward and away from the conduit opening to shed water and prevent moisture intrusion into the raceway.
  • Conduit Compatibility: Designed to connect directly with 4" PVC conduit systems for a consistent, code-oriented raceway transition.
  • Lightweight Material: PVC construction simplifies handling and installation compared to heavier metallic service head alternatives.

  • Brand: Cantex

Cantex 5133697 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What trade sizes does the Cantex PVC service entrance weatherhead come in?
Two trade sizes: 3 inch (MPN 5133697) and 4 inch (MPN 5133699). Match the head to the trade size of the PVC conduit stub it terminates, not to the conductor count. The 4 inch handles the larger service entrance conductor bundles typical of higher-amperage commercial and multi-family services.
2) Will a Cantex PVC weatherhead fit Schedule 40 and Schedule 80 conduit?
Yes. The Cantex service entrance head connects to standard Schedule 40 and Schedule 80 PVC conduit of the same trade size. Both schedules share the same outside diameter at a given trade size, so a 4 inch head seats on 4 inch conduit either way. Schedule 80 just has a thicker wall and a smaller inside bore, which affects your conductor fill, not the fitting.
3) Can I use a PVC weatherhead instead of a metal service head on an overhead service?
On a PVC raceway run, yes, and it keeps the system to one material. The Cantex head is molded PVC, so it resists corrosion and rust in prolonged outdoor exposure and is lighter to handle on a ladder than a metallic service head. If your riser is rigid metal conduit or EMT, you want a metallic head sized to that raceway instead, since this one is built to bond to PVC conduit.
4) Does a PVC service head keep water out of the conduit run?
That is its job. The weatherhead configuration directs the conductors downward and away from the conduit opening so water sheds off rather than tracking into the raceway, while holding conductor separation and bend radius as they leave the conduit. It is the weathertight transition at the top of the riser where service conductors enter the building's system.
5) What else do I need to order with a Cantex 4 inch service entrance head?
The head terminates the top of the raceway only. You still need the 4 inch PVC conduit riser itself, PVC cement for the joint, and the straps or clamps that secure the riser to the structure, plus whatever meter socket or panel hub terminates the bottom end. Pairing the head with matching Cantex PVC conduit keeps the raceway to one manufacturer's system.
6) I am replacing a 3 inch service head on an existing PVC riser. Do I need the 4 inch?
No. Order the size that matches the existing conduit, so a 3 inch riser takes the 3 inch head, MPN 5133697. Going up to 4 inch would require changing the conduit run itself, not just the fitting.
7) Is this weatherhead suitable for an underground service lateral or only overhead?
Both situations are covered. Cantex lists it for terminating rigid PVC conduit where overhead or underground service conductors enter a building's electrical system, including utility meter and service panel feeds, new construction, and service upgrade work.
