Overview

The ABB E945L Coupling End Expansion Fitting is a Carlon® PVC fitting designed to manage thermal expansion and contraction in rigid PVC conduit systems. Manufactured by ABB - Installation Products, this 3-inch gray fitting provides a secure, flexible connection for Schedule 40 and Schedule 80 rigid PVC conduit, accommodating axial and parallel deflection in industrial, commercial, and residential applications. Key specifications include a 3-inch size with a standard carton quantity of 10 units. The fitting features a two-piece molded design with lubricated seals for long-term movement, two O-rings to prevent leakage, and ridges on the fitting for easier installation (sizes 2"-6" only). The male terminal adapter end is designed with 21/2"-6" NPSC threads, ensuring compatibility with standard conduit systems. The E945L offers a travel length of 8 inches, allowing for up to 2 inches of expansion while maintaining a constant inner diameter for simplified wire pulling. The exclusive molded-in mid-point indicator on the piston ensures precise installation and alignment. This fitting can be installed vertically or horizontally, providing versatility for various piping configurations. Ideal for exposed conduit runs where temperature variations cause length changes, the E945L is suitable for applications in buildings, bridges, parking garages, hospitals, and other structures requiring flexible connections. The gray PVC construction ensures durability and corrosion resistance in indoor, outdoor, direct burial, or embedded concrete environments. With a 5-to-1 SKU reduction for streamlined inventory management, the E945L delivers labor savings and superior performance compared to traditional methods.
