Overview

The ABB CPL1/2-B (SKU: CPL1/2-B) is a high-performance PVC-coated conduit coupling engineered for secure and corrosion-resistant electrical conduit connections in demanding environments. Constructed from hot-dip galvanized rigid steel, this coupling is designed for 1/2-inch (16 metric) trade size conduit systems, ensuring compatibility with standard electrical installations. The coupling features a nominal 0.002" (2 mil) blue urethane coating applied to both the interior and threads, providing superior corrosion resistance and maintaining smooth electrical flow by preventing oxidation and contamination. The exterior is protected by a minimum 0.040" (40 mil) PVC coating, which is chemically bonded to the steel for exceptional durability and resistance to abrasion, impact, and harsh chemicals. Key mechanical features include straight NPS threads that ensure precise alignment and secure connections, while pressure-sealing sleeves provide an additional barrier against moisture, dust, and contaminants at the joint. The coupling has a minimum metal length of 1.50 inches (38.10 mm) and a total minimum length of 3.75 inches (95.25 mm) when including the sleeve, ensuring adequate coverage for reliable sealing. The outer coating includes molded ribs, which enhance grip and simplify installation for trade sizes up to 4 inches, reducing the risk of slippage during tightening. The light blue color of the urethane coating provides visual confirmation of proper installation and coating integrity. Manufactured in the USA, the CPL1/2-B meets stringent industry standards for quality and performance, including UL and CSA certifications where applicable. Its robust construction makes it ideal for a wide range of applications, from industrial and commercial facilities to residential installations, where reliable conduit protection and long-term durability are critical. The combination of galvanized steel, urethane, and PVC coatings ensures resistance to corrosion, mechanical stress, and environmental factors, delivering a dependable solution for electrical conduit systems.
