CALBOND
Frequently asked questions
Common questions about CALBOND from 3G Electric.
What types of coatings are available on CALBOND conduit fittings?
CALBOND offers PVC-coated and urethane-coated finishes on its steel conduit fittings. PVC coating provides a durable, corrosion-resistant layer suitable for general industrial environments with moisture or mild chemical exposure. Urethane coating offers enhanced abrasion resistance and is often used in applications where additional mechanical protection is needed. Both coatings are applied over steel substrates, and the fittings are available in trade sizes ranging from 1/2 in to 4 in, as seen in models like the PV0500UNY105 (urethane) and PV4000UNY1005 (PVC).
Are CALBOND slotted strut channels compatible with standard mounting hardware?
Yes, CALBOND slotted strut channels, such as the PV0000B52SH, feature 9/16 in x 1-1/8 in slotted holes that accept standard bolts, nuts, and accessories used in strut systems. The channel is made from pre-galvanized steel with a 12 ga gauge, providing structural support for conduit, cable trays, and equipment. The slotted design allows for adjustability during installation, making it compatible with common strut fittings and hardware available in the market.
What is the difference between a CALBOND straight union and a standard conduit coupling?
A CALBOND straight union, such as the PV2000UNY605, is designed specifically for connecting conduit to a box or enclosure, with one FNPT end and one MNPT end. This differs from a standard coupling, which typically has two female ends for joining two conduit lengths. The straight union’s configuration allows for a secure, threaded connection to a box hub, and it is available in coated finishes to maintain corrosion resistance throughout the conduit system. Trade sizes range from 1/2 in to 4 in.
Can CALBOND two-hole conduit and pipe strap clamps be used with PVC-coated conduit?
Yes, CALBOND two-hole conduit and pipe strap clamps, like the PV30002S00, are specifically designed for use with PVC-coated conduit. The clamp is made from steel with a PVC coating that matches the conduit’s finish, preventing galvanic corrosion and maintaining a uniform protective layer. The two-hole design provides secure fastening to structural supports, and the clamp is available in trade sizes such as 3 in to accommodate larger conduit diameters.
What trade sizes are available for CALBOND straight unions?
CALBOND straight unions are available in trade sizes from 1/2 in to 4 in, as evidenced by models like the PV0500UNY105 (1/2 in), PV1000UNY305 (1 in), PV1200UNY405 (1-1/4 in), PV2000UNY605 (2 in), PV3500UNY905 (3-1/2 in), and PV4000UNY1005 (4 in). Each size is offered in both PVC and urethane coatings, with FNPT x MNPT ends for connection to boxes or enclosures. This range covers common conduit diameters used in industrial electrical systems.
