Overview

The ABB E948K Long-Line Sleeve Coupling is a durable PVC conduit fitting designed for industrial and commercial electrical installations requiring robust, weather-resistant connections. Engineered specifically for Schedule 40 and 80 conduit systems, this gray coupling provides a secure, corrosion-resistant joint ideal for demanding environments. Measuring 2-1/2 inches in size with a 6-inch length and 3.11-inch outer diameter, the E948K delivers exceptional strength and longevity in applications where extended conduit runs or repair work demands additional support. Unlike standard couplings with internal stops, the E948K features a long-line design that allows flexible conduit positioning while maintaining a tight, leak-proof seal when installed with Carlon solvent cement. The absence of an internal stop simplifies alignment during installation, reducing labor time and ensuring consistent performance in critical applications. Constructed from premium PVC material, this coupling resists moisture, chemicals, and UV exposure, making it suitable for outdoor and underground installations. Key applications include: - Industrial electrical systems requiring high-durability fittings - Commercial building infrastructure with extended conduit runs - Outdoor conduit installations exposed to harsh weather - Underground conduit runs demanding corrosion resistance - Repair and maintenance projects where long-line couplings provide superior support The E948K is part of ABB's Installation Products line, trusted by contractors and electricians for reliability and ease of installation. When paired with ABB's full range of conduit fittings and accessories, this coupling ensures a complete, professional-grade solution for electrical conduit systems.
