Carlon UA3A 11.25° PVC Schedule 40 Conduit Elbow, Gray
The Carlon UA3A 11.25° PVC Schedule 40 Conduit Elbow is a standard-radius rigid non-metallic conduit fitting engineered for precise, shallow directional changes in PVC conduit runs. Available in trade sizes from 1/2" through 6", it is UL Listed (E323335) and manufactured in the United States. Gray PVC construction resists corrosion and meets the wall-thickness requirements of Schedule 40 for both above-ground and direct-burial applications, making it a dependable choice for electrical contractors who need a minor course correction without over-deflecting a long conduit run. When a full 22.5° or 45° bend would introduce excess deflection, the UA3A's gentle 11.25° angle keeps the raceway aligned while accommodating grade changes, obstructions, or minor routing adjustments across long conduit sections. Contractors specifying rigid non-metallic conduit for underground feeders, service entrances, or long above-ground raceway runs rely on this shallow-angle elbow to maintain proper alignment without adding unnecessary bends to a system, which helps control cumulative degrees of bend and keeps wire-pulling tension within acceptable limits during conductor installation.
Key Features
- Trade Size: Offered in 1/2", 3/4", 1", 1-1/4", 1-1/2", 2", 2-1/2", 3", 3-1/2", 4", 5", and 6" sizes to fit a wide range of raceway systems.
- Durable Construction: Gray PVC material resists corrosion, moisture, and chemical exposure for long service life in above-ground and direct-burial installations.
- 11.25° Angle: Ideal for gradual directional offsets where a 22.5° or 45° bend would over-deflect the run, commonly used on long straight runs requiring minor course corrections.
- Schedule 40 PVC: Meets NEMA TC-2 wall-thickness requirements and is compatible with Schedule 40 conduit and fittings throughout the system.
- Standard Radius: Smooth interior radius reduces pulling tension on conductors and minimizes insulation stress during wire pull.
- Finish: Standard gray color for above-ground electrical conduit installations; a 4" black color variant is also available.
