Electrical Technology: Cut, Bend, and Install Electrical Conduits

This document discusses installing electrical conduits using PVC. PVC is widely used in construction as an effective alternative to materials like copper and wood for pipes and profiles. It has advantages for electrical conduit including being lightweight, easy to cut and bend, inexpensive, and having good electrical and fire resistance. Common fittings used include saddles to securely fix conduits, couplings, tees, and junction boxes. Bends can be right angles, offsets, or double offsets. PVC conduit is available in common sizes from 20mm to 63mm.

PVC - Polyvinyl chloride
Widely produced plastic.

Used in construction because it is more effective


than traditional materials such as copper, iron or
wood in pipe and profile applications.

It is also used in clothing, electrical cable


insulation, Pipes (electrical and water), flatable
products, and many applications in which it
replaces rubber.
