RIGID NONMETALLIC UNDERGROUND
CONDUIT, PLASTIC (EAZX)​

USE AND INSTALLATION​

This category covers plastic types of rigid nonmetallic conduit, including
straight conduit, elbows and other bends in sizes 1/2 to 6 (metric designators
16 to 155) inclusive, intended for installation underground as
raceway for wire and cable in accordance with Articles 352 and 353 of
ANSI/NFPA 70, ??National Electrical Code?? (NEC). This conduit may be:
(1) polyvinyl chloride (PVC) Type A, Type EB or Schedule 40, or (2) high
density polyethylene (HDPE) Schedule 40, Schedule 80, EPEC A, EPEC B.
This conduit is intended for installation and use in accordance with the
following information.
The conduit is intended for underground use under the following conditions,
as indicated in the Listing Mark: (1) when laid with its entire
length in concrete in any location (Type A), (2) when laid with its entire
length in concrete in outdoor trenches (Type EB) and (3) direct burial with
or without being encased in concrete (HDPE Schedule 40, Schedule 80,
EPEC A, EPEC B or PVC Schedule 40). The conduit is intended for use in
ambient temperatures of 50?C or less.
Unless marked otherwise, Type A and HDPE Schedule 40, Schedule 80,
EPEC A, EPEC B conduit is intended for use with wire rated 75?C or less.
Type EB and Type A conduit, where encased in concrete in trenches outside
of buildings, may be used with wire rated 90?C or less. HDPE Schedule
40, Schedule 80, EPEC A, EPEC B or PVC Schedule 40 conduit, when
directly buried or encased in concrete in trenches outside of buildings,
may be used with wire rated 90?C or less.
Where conduit emerges from underground installation the wiring
method shall be of a type recognized by the NEC for the purpose.
PVC conduit is designed for joining with PVC couplings by the use of a
solvent-type cement. HDPE conduit is designed for joining by threaded
couplings, drive-on couplings, or a butt-fusing process. Instructions supplied
by the solvent-type cement manufacturer describe the method of
assembly and precautions to be followed.​
