Overview

The ABB COND3SA-R PVC Coated Aluminum Conduit (SKU: COND3SA-R) is a 3-inch (78 metric) industrial-grade conduit designed for heavy-duty electrical installations in commercial and industrial environments. Constructed from durable aluminum with a protective PVC coating, this conduit delivers superior corrosion resistance and long-term durability against harsh conditions including moisture, chemicals, and abrasion. The red PVC coating enhances visibility for safety and compliance in high-traffic or low-light areas, while the nominal wall thickness of 0.25 inches (6.22 mm) and outside diameter of 3.58 inches (90.90 mm) ensure structural integrity and cable protection. Key specifications include a nominal inside diameter of 3.09 inches (78.50 mm), cross-sectional area of 7.39 in² (4767.73 mm²), and a length of 9 feet 10.5 inches (3.01 meters) without couplings. The conduit weighs a minimum of 6.83 lbs per foot (103 kg per meter) and meets ANSI C80.1-1994 standards for dimensional consistency. Its aluminum core provides lightweight strength, reducing installation labor while maintaining high load-bearing capacity. Ideal for power distribution, control systems, and telecommunications wiring in factories, data centers, and outdoor installations, the COND3SA-R supports applications requiring UL-listed or CSA-certified conduits. The PVC coating resists UV degradation and chemical exposure, making it suitable for coastal, industrial, or corrosive environments. Compatible with standard 3-inch fittings and couplings, this conduit simplifies integration into existing electrical systems while ensuring compliance with NEC and OSHA safety standards. Trust ABB Installation Products for reliable, code-compliant conduit solutions backed by decades of industrial expertise.
