Overview

The ABB XD6-B PVC Coated Expansion/Deflection Coupling (SKU: XD6-B) from ABB - Installation Products is a high-performance, non-metallic solution engineered for industrial pipe systems requiring flexibility, durability, and compliance with stringent safety standards. Designed to join two rigid PVC conduit runs, this coupling accommodates axial expansion and contraction up to 3/4", parallel deflection, and angular deflection of up to 30° from the relaxed position—making it ideal for dynamic environments where structural movement is expected. Key features of the XD6-B include a flexible neoprene outer jacket reinforced with tamper-proof stainless steel straps, ensuring superior protection against corrosion and environmental factors in wet locations, direct burial, or embedded concrete applications. The inner sleeve maintains a constant, smooth inner diameter in any position, significantly easing wire pulling and preventing wire insulation damage during installation or maintenance. This design not only enhances operational efficiency but also reduces labor time by up to five times compared to traditional methods, while offering a 5-to-1 SKU reduction for streamlined inventory management. Manufactured with smooth gray PVC for the coupling ends and inner sleeve, the XD6-B is UV-resistant and compatible with Schedule 40 and Schedule 80 rigid PVC conduit. Its robust construction meets the requirements of the 2014 National Electrical Code (NEC) Article 300.4(H), ensuring compliance for use in buildings, bridges, parking garages, hospitals, and similar structures where raceways cross structural joints intended for expansion, contraction, or deflection. Additionally, the coupling is cULus Listed and CSA certified to CSA C22.2 No. 85, providing peace of mind for industrial and commercial applications.
