Fiberglass conduit

[Fred B]

Been seeing this product in a lot of the technical rags. Dont see any reference within the codes to it usability or requirements. Anyone with experience with it, is it a viable option given the limited access of PVC as of late? Is it listed within the code?

The large radius 90s are super expensive. Haven't had the gumption to price the raceway itself.

If that is the product it seems to be much more resistant to expansion/contraction than PVC.

We have had some folks use the sweep 90s in lieu of rigid 90s in PVC runs. They seem to be happy with the results especially where bonding of the rigid 90s would be involved.

It is and if you need it, pay for it.

We use it by the water as the pvc rmc corrodes from the inside out. It has its place and use, lightweight, you generally need to buy factory fittings which are huge. You can heat and bend it, takes a bit of trial and error to get it right. The epoxy can be finicky with ambient temperature, we dispense what we need immediately into a disposable cup and use a popsicle stick to apply it. I wouldn't try to use this product for branch circuit wiring where you're piping to devices and outlets, however it's great for simple runs.
Seems pretty durable, the heavy wall stuff has about a 1/4 wall.
