PVC Sch 80 connection to Metal Enclosure (disconnect) outdoors
Hi
Whats the preferred method for connecting Schedule 80 PVC from a hot tub to a spa metal disconnect outdoors.
I have a expansion joint and then I need to connect it to the disconnect. I looked at all of the liquid tight connectors at the store and they all seemed to be more for the schedule 40 pipe. The flange on the inside seemed to big to connect to the pipe.
I have a male terminal adapter plus a coupling. If I put the terminal outside of the box and then the screw coupling on the inside - is that a method that would satisfy code ?
Or is there a specific PVC 80 liquid tight connector I can get somewhere ?
Thanks

Hi
The conduit runs from the side of the house underground to the spa concrete pad.
I'll head down to the electrical store on Monday and see what I can find.

Liquid tight is a flexible conduit, not rigid like PVC. The male adapter and locknut is the way to go.
