Description / Abstract:
These requirements cover FITTINGS for use with cable and conduit
intended for installation in accordance with the National
Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70, the Canadian Electrical Code (CEC),
Part I, CSA C22.1, and the Standard for Electrical Installations,
NOM-001-SEDE.
These requirements cover CONDUIT LOCKNUTS, conduit BUSHINGS,
metal stud BUSHINGS, CONDUIT BODIES, and entrance ELBOWS; FITTINGS
for electrical metallic tubing, flexible metal conduit,
intermediate metal conduit, liquid-tight flexible conduit, rigid
metal conduit, and SERVICE-ENTRANCE HEADS; FITTINGS or box clamps
referenced from other standards for armored cable, metal-clad
cable, aluminum-sheathed cable, mineral-insulated cable,
nonmetallic-sheathed cable, service-entrance cable, and tray cable,
and submersible FITTINGS; FITTINGS for flexible cord, flexible
nonmetallic and metallic tubing, INSULATING BUSHINGS, grips,
reducing washers, and NIPPLES.
Note 1: In Canada, fittings for metal-clad (MC) cable,
intermediate metal conduit (IMC), flexible metallic tubing,
flexible nonmetallic tubing, and CONDUIT BODIES are not recognized.
CONDUIT BODIES are considered FITTINGS.
Note 2: In Canada, armored cable includes Type TECK
cable.
Note 3: In Canada, tray cable includes any "TC rated"
cable.
Note 4: In Mexico and the United States, requirements
for submersible FITTINGS are provided in NMX-J-235/2-ANCE or UL
50E.
Note 5: In Mexico, intermediate metal conduit is
designated as semi-heavy metal conduit.
In Mexico and the United States, these requirements cover
CONDUIT BODIES for rigid polyvinyl chloride (PVC) conduit. These
products are intended to be used with Schedule 40, Type EB, Type A
and Schedule 80 PVC conduit, ELBOWS, and other bends.
In Canada, requirements for fittings intended for use with rigid
PVC conduit are addressed in CSA C22.2 No. 85.
These requirements do not cover FITTINGS intended for use in
hazardous locations as defined in the National Electrical Code,
ANSI/NFPA 70, the Canadian Electrical Code (CEC), Part I, CSA
C22.1, and the Standard for Electrical Installations,
NOM-001-SEDE.
These requirements do not cover FITTINGS intended for use with
surface raceway systems. 1.6 These requirements do not cover
conduit NIPPLES, threaded ELBOWS, and threaded COUPLINGS intended
for use with rigid metal conduit or intermediate metal conduit.
