PVC Female Adapter · 3 in threaded rigid conduit fitting · CSA/UL approved · Westlake Pipe & Fittings RFA45
What this product is for
The Westlake Pipe & Fittings RFA45 is a 3 in rigid PVC female adapter for electrical conduit systems. It provides a solvent-weld connection on one side and a female threaded connection on the other for transitioning PVC conduit to compatible threaded components.
Use for
Use this fitting in above-ground or underground PVC raceway runs where you need to terminate 3 in conduit into a threaded box, fitting, hub, or accessory. It is commonly used in commercial, industrial, utility, and site electrical installations.
Avoid for
Avoid using this fitting where the connected component is not thread-compatible, where a different trade size is required, or where the installation method does not permit solvent-weld PVC fittings. Do not treat it as a pressure plumbing fitting.
Best for
Best for electricians and contractors installing rigid PVC conduit where corrosion resistance, non-metallic raceway construction, and a threaded termination point are needed. It is also a practical choice when matching Westlake Pipe & Fittings rigid PVC conduit systems on Canadian jobsites.
Installed in
Typically installed in electrical rooms, service entrances, site lighting feeds, utility raceways, industrial facilities, parking structures, and underground-to-equipment transitions. For a 3 in trade size, this fitting is generally chosen on larger conduit runs where cable fill and pulling space are key design considerations.
Why this product exists
This adapter exists to convert plain-end rigid PVC conduit into a female threaded connection without changing raceway material. It helps maintain a consistent PVC conduit system while allowing connection to threaded accessories at the end of the run.
Compared with similar products
Compared with a coupling, this female adapter is used for termination rather than joining two plain-end conduit sections. Compared with a male adapter, it accepts a male threaded component instead of providing external threads. For trade buyers, the main selection points are trade size, thread type compatibility, and whether the job calls for a solvent-weld-to-threaded transition.
Typical guidance: larger conduit fittings such as 3 in are commonly used where multiple conductors or larger feeders are being routed, but actual conduit sizing depends on conductor count, insulation type, bend layout, and local electrical code.
