Poly Vinyl Chloride is made from two main ingredients. These ingredients are chlorine and ethylene both of which are needed to make PVC conduit

. UV inhibitors are also added to the ingredients to prevent degradation from exposure to the sun's rays.

What is conduit fitting?

Conduit fitting is used on metal pipes that house electrical wires. These fittings are not only to connect the various pieces together, but to keep a relatively water tight seal to the wires.


What are the methods of producing bends and sets in conduit materials?

Bends and sets in conduit materials can be produced using several methods, including manual bending with hand tools like conduit benders, which apply leverage to create the desired angle. Mechanical benders and hydraulic benders are also commonly used for larger or thicker conduit, providing more consistent and precise bends. Additionally, heat bending involves applying heat to thermoplastic conduits to make them pliable before shaping. Lastly, pre-fabricated fittings can be used to create bends without the need for bending the conduit itself.


What are the six methods of fix conduit?

The six methods of fixing conduit include: Conduit Hangers - These are brackets or clamps that attach the conduit to walls or ceilings. Straps - These are metal or plastic bands used to secure the conduit at specific intervals. Support Brackets - These provide additional support for heavier conduit runs, ensuring stability. Wall and Ceiling Clips - These are used to fasten the conduit directly to walls or ceilings. Junction Box Mounts - These attach conduit to junction boxes for secure connections. Conduit Fasteners - These include screws, anchors, or other hardware used to hold the conduit in place. These methods ensure that the conduit is securely installed and compliant with electrical codes.


What do conduit connectors do?

A conduit connecter is a connecting piece used to connect two individual conduit units together. Conduit connecters can refer to both electrical conduits and pipe/plumbing related conduits.

Why sulphur is not used in making pipes?

Sulfur is not used in making pipes because it is a brittle element at room temperature and can degrade when exposed to moisture, leading to leaks or breakages in pipes. Instead, materials like plastic, copper, or stainless steel are preferred for their durability and resistance to corrosion.

What is the purpose of a conduit sweep in electrical installations?

A conduit sweep in electrical installations is used to smoothly change the direction of a conduit without sharp bends, reducing the risk of damaging the wires inside and making it easier to pull wires through the conduit.


Which are the materials or metals used for making pipe?

Before copper and plastic pipes became available people used to use lead, iron or steel to make water pipes. Nowadays main water supply pipes for fresh water coming into buildings are made of plastic and pipes within buildings - delivering water to sinks, baths, showers and toilets - are made either of copper or plastic. Within buildings, pipes which take away waste water - which are also called drainage pipes - are usually made of plastic. Outside buildings, modern drainage pipes are mostly made of plastic but older drain pipes may be made of glazed earthenware (which is baked clay) or iron.
