Overview

The ABB E940R is a standard coupling specifically engineered for the seamless joining of 6-inch Schedule 40 and Schedule 80 PVC conduit. Manufactured by ABB Installation Products, this coupling is a vital component for establishing secure and dependable connections within electrical raceway systems. It boasts a nominal size designation of 6 inches, reflecting its intended application with conduit of that diameter. The physical dimensions of the E940R include an outer diameter (O.D.) of 7-1/2 inches and a precisely measured inner diameter (I.D.) of 6.115 inches, ensuring a snug fit with the conduit ends. The coupling possesses a length of 4-5/8 inches, contributing to the overall stability of the joined conduit sections. Constructed from robust PVC material, the E940R exhibits inherent resistance to corrosion, a wide array of chemicals, and various environmental factors, positioning it as a suitable choice for diverse industrial and commercial applications where durability is paramount. The standard gray color of the E940R aligns with the common aesthetic of PVC conduit fittings. This coupling is optimized for use with Carlon solvent cement, facilitating a secure socket-type joining process for non-metallic conduit. The E940R serves as a critical element in maintaining the structural integrity and protective function of electrical wiring housed within conduit systems, effectively preventing the intrusion of moisture and debris. ABB's E940R delivers a reliable and high-performance solution for conduit installations that demand precise dimensional accuracy and sustained operational effectiveness. For detailed installation procedures and specific guidance on solvent cement application, consult the manufacturer's official documentation.
