The coefficient of linear expansion in PVCconduit is x F as compared to x 10-5for aluminumand x 10-5for steel. An expansion coupling is needed wheneverthe change in length due to temperature variation will exceed 1 30 F to the estimated temperature range when Conduit isinstalled in direct sunlight to allow for radiant expansion coupling consists of two sections of Conduit , one telescoping inside another.

7 When installing expansion couplings,alignment of piston and barrel is sure to mount expansion joint level for best a vertical run, the expansion coupling must be installed close tothe top of the run with the barrel jointing down, in order that rainwater does not run into the opening. The lower end of the Conduit run must be secured at the bottom so that any length change due totemperature variation will result in an upward Characteristics of PVC Rigid Nonmetallic ConduitCoefficient of Thermal Expansion = x FLength Length Length Length Change inChange inChange inChange inTemperatureinches perTemperatureinches perTemperatureinches perTemperatureinches perChange in100 in100 in100 in100 Ft. ofDegrees FPVC ConduitDegrees FPVC ConduitDegrees FPVC ConduitDegrees FPVC expansion joint must be installed to allow both expansion andcontraction of the Conduit run.

The installation is to be made at a Conduit temperature of 90 the table, a 140 F temperature change will cause a change in 100 ft. of Conduit . The total change for this example is " x = " which should be rounded to 22".The number of expansion couplings will be 22"x coupling range (4" for Carlon trade sizes 1/2" through 1-1/2",and 8" for sizes 2"through 6".) If the E945D coupling is used, the number will be 22" x4 = which should be rounded to coupling should beplaced at 62 ft.

Place a markon the piston at the end of the barrel. To properly set the piston, pullthe piston out of the barrel to correspond to the in. calculatedabove.
