NEMA TC 3-2016 Page 4 2016 National Electrical Manufacturers Association Section 3 General Requirements 3.1 Materials Fittings shall be fabricated from extruded stock or shall be molded. Molded fittings shall

21、 be made from a rigid polyvinyl chloride (PVC) compound that meets the minimum cell classification of PVC 12233C or 12154B (with tensile strength of 4,000 psi) in accordance with ASTM D1784. Extruded stock shall meet the requirements of NEMA TC 2. 3.2 Dimensions 3.2.1 Fittings Dimensions of molded f

22、ittings shall comply with Table 1 when determined in accordance with 5.2 and Figure 1. 3.2.2 Compression-Formed Couplings Dimensions of compression-formed EPC-40 and EPC-80 couplings shall comply with Table 4 when determined in accordance with 5.2 and Figure 2. 3.2.3 Elbows Dimensions of EPC-40 and

23、EPC-80 elbows shall comply with Table 4 for integral socket dimensions and with Table 5 for other dimensions when determined in accordance with 5.2 and Figure 3. 3.3 Depth of Penetration Fittings shall be provided with a stop at the socket bottom to limit the depth of penetration of the conduit and,

24、 in the case of female adapters, to limit the depth of penetration of threaded rigid metallic conduit. 3.4 Threads External and internal tapered threads shall comply with Table 2 when measured in accordance with 5.3. External and internal straight threads shall comply with Table 3 when measured in a

25、ccordance with 5.3. Internal molded threads at the face of the fittings and the entering ends of external threads shall have a “blunt start,” produced by making the width of the thread at the start approximately 50-75% of the full thread to provide easy entrance in making a joint and protection of t

26、he thread. The blunt start shall be included in the measurement of the thread length. The entrance to machined threads shall be a 45 chamfer at least one-thread deep.
