There’s an old saying: A chain is only as strong as its weakest link. When it comes to electrical systems in corrosive environments like wastewater treatment and chemical plants, that weakest link is sometimes the conduits and fittings that bring everything together.
You may remember us covering ABB’s breakthrough Liquidtight Fittings product line, and other corrosion protection innovations through the years. In this article, we’ll feature ABB’s revolutionary and trusted solution designed to minimize corrosive fail points and ensure system integrity.
What is Ocal® from ABB Installation Products?
The Ocal product line includes electrical conduit systems, fittings, and accessories for durable, corrosion-resistant industrial and commercial installations. Ocal’s PVC-coated conduit systems provide superior protection against harsh environments, chemicals, and corrosive agents compared to metal conduits.
Ocal PVC-coated conduits and fittings offer a complete corrosion protection package for your entire conduit system, substantially extending the life of your electrical raceway system.
What Sets Ocal Conduits & Fittings Apart?
There are four key characteristics that make Ocal products stand out from the field:
- Complete Corrosion Protection Solution: There’s no weak link in your electrical raceway system. Ocal’s full solution offering is available for ordinary and hazardous location applications.
- Ocal UL Verified NEMA 4X Conduit Body: The Ocal UL-verified 4X conduit body, including covers with a leakproof O-ring seal, meets the latest NEMA standard for both corrosion and liquid damage.
- Ocal Certified Contractor Training: ABB extends the product’s limited warranty for defects in material and workmanship from two years to five years when installed by a Certified Ocal installer. Agilix can coordinate and host this certification training for your team.
- Custom Colors: In addition to the standard gray, white, and blue, Ocal products can be provided in any color suited to your application.
