Rigid PVC Conduit · 1-1/4 Inch x 10 ft CSA listed grey electrical conduit · Next Polymers 117031-118

What this product is for

This 1-1/4 in rigid PVC electrical conduit is used to protect and route insulated conductors and cable in residential, commercial, and industrial raceway systems. It is suited to indoor or outdoor use where Schedule 40 non-metallic conduit is acceptable and a solvent-weld PVC system is preferred.

Use for

Use for branch circuit and feeder raceways, underground runs, stub-ups, and exposed runs where physical damage is limited and PVC conduit is permitted by code. The smooth interior helps with cable pulling on longer runs, and the 10 ft (3.05 m) length is standard for field installation.

Avoid for

Avoid using Schedule 40 where the raceway is subject to higher physical impact and Schedule 80 is required, or where metallic conduit is specified for bonding, shielding, or mechanical protection. Always confirm local code and project requirements before installation.

Best for

Best for electricians and contractors needing a non-metallic raceway for general wiring protection in residential developments, commercial sites, and light industrial work across Canada.

Installed in

Typically installed in walls, slabs, utility trenches, service raceways, equipment feeds, and outdoor site conduit systems. Typical conduit fill guidance is a maximum 40 percent fill, but actual conductor count depends on wire size, insulation type, bends, and code requirements.

Why this product exists

Rigid PVC conduit provides corrosion-resistant mechanical protection for conductors while keeping installation weight and labour lower than many metallic raceway systems. It is commonly selected where moisture, soil contact, or outdoor exposure make non-metallic conduit a practical choice.

Compared with similar products

Compared with Schedule 80 PVC, Schedule 40 is typically used where lower impact resistance is acceptable. Compared with EMT or rigid metal conduit, PVC will not rust and is lighter to handle, but it is not chosen where a metallic raceway is required. Actual performance depends on installation conditions, layout, and local electrical code.
