Overview
The Perma-Cote 40AM conduit fitting is a 1-inch electrical raceway component engineered for superior corrosion protection. Built with a standard 40 mil PVC coating on the exterior and a 2 mil urethane coating on the interior, this fitting combines zinc substrate durability with protective layers to extend service life in harsh environments. Perma-Cote complies with standards mandated by UL 6, NEMA RN-1, ANSI C80.1, ETL PVC-001, IEC IP69/UL Type 4X and UL 1203.
Key Features
- Dual-layer protection: 40 mil PVC exterior coating plus 2 mil urethane interior coating
- Zinc substrate base: Corrosion-resistant foundation under protective PVC layer
- ETL verified performance: ETL Verified PVC coated conduit provides product service life lasting 10 times longer than conduit that does not carry the ETL PVC-001 label
- Industrial-grade compliance: UL 6, NEMA RN-1, ANSI C80.1, and hazardous location ratings available
- Proven design: Available in both rigid steel and aluminum construction options
