26、ER REPRODUCTION OR DISTRIBUTION WITHOUT PERMISSION FROM UL Preface This is the common CSA Group and UL standard for aboveground reinforced thermosetting resin conduit (RTRC) and ttings. It is the rst edition of CSA C22.2 No. 2515, and the rst edition of UL 2515. Previously, requirements for abovegro

27、und RTRC were found in the common CSA and UL Standard for Reinforced Thermosetting Resin Conduit and Fittings. This edition of CSA C22.2 No. 2515 supersedes the fourth edition of CSA C22.2 No. 211.3-96 last revised on June 1, 1997, for products covered in this standard, as indicated in the scope of

28、this standard. This edition of UL 2515 supersedes the third edition of UL 1684 last revised on August 11, 2004. This common standard was prepared by CSA Group and Underwriters Laboratories Inc. (UL). The efforts and support of the conduit manufacturing industry and the Technical Harmonization Subcom

29、mittee for Conduit and Tubing, of the Council of the Harmonization of Electrotechnical Standards for the Nations of the Americas (CANENA), are gratefully acknowledged. This standard is considered suitable for use for conformity assessment within the stated scope of the standard. This standard was re

30、viewed by the CSA Integrated Committee on Nonmetallic Conduit, Tubing, and Fittings, under the jurisdiction of the CSA Technical Committee on Wiring Products and the CSA Strategic Steering Committee on Requirements for Electrical Safety, and has been formally approved by the CSA Technical Committee.

31、 This standard has been approved by the American National Standards Institute as an American National Standard. Where reference is made to a specic number of samples to be tested, the specied number is to be considered a minimum quantity. Note: Although the intended primary application of this stand

32、ard is stated in its scope, it is important to note that it remains the responsibility of the users of the standard to judge its suitability for their particular purpose. Level of harmonization This standard uses an IEC format, but is not based on, nor is it to be considered an IEC standard. This st

33、andard is published as an equivalent standard for CSA Group and UL. An equivalent standard is a standard that is substantially the same in technical content, except as follows: Technical deviations are allowed for codes and governmental regulations and those recognized as being in accordance with NA

34、FTA Article 905, for example, because of fundamental, climatic, geographical, technological or infrastructural factors, scientic justication, or the level of protection that the country considers appropriate. Presentation is to be word for word except for editorial changes. Reasons for differences f

35、rom IEC The Technical Harmonization Subcommittee identied several IEC standards that address electrical conduit and tubing included in the scope of this standard. The IEC standards for electrical conduit and tubing are recognized as being generally system-specic, containing the requirements for the

36、relevant conduits and cables and associated ttings in several discrete IEC standards. The THSC determined the safe use of electrical conduit and tubing is dependent on the design and performance of the conduit and tubing systems with which they are intended to be installed. Signicant investigation i

37、s required to assess safety and system compatibility issues that may lead to harmonization JANUARY 24, 2014 CSA C22.2 NO. 2515-09 UL 2515 5UL COPYRIGHTED MATERIAL NOT AUTHORIZED FOR FURTHER REPRODUCTION OR DISTRIBUTION WITHOUT PERMISSION FROM UL of traditional North American electrical conduit and t

38、ubing and associated ttings with those presently addressed in the known IEC standards. The THSC agreed such future investigation might be facilitated by completion of harmonization of the North American standards for electrical conduit and tubing and their ttings. Interpretations The interpretation

39、by the standards development organization of an identical or equivalent standard is based on the literal text to determine compliance with the standard in accordance with the procedural rules of the standards development organization. If more than one interpretation of the literal text has been iden

40、tied, a revision is to be proposed as soon as possible to each of the standards development organizations to more accurately reect the intent. CSA Group effective date The effective date for CSA Group will be announced through CSA Informs or a CSA Group Certication Notice. UL effective date As of Ja

41、nuary 24, 2014, all products Listed or Recognized by UL must comply with the requirements in this standard. A UL effective date is established by Underwriters Laboratories Inc. and is not part of the ANSI approved standard. JANUARY 24, 2014 CSA C22.2 NO. 2515-09 UL 2515 6UL COPYRIGHTED MATERIAL NOT

42、AUTHORIZED FOR FURTHER REPRODUCTION OR DISTRIBUTION WITHOUT PERMISSION FROM UL Aboveground Reinforced Thermosetting Resin Conduit (RTRC) and Fittings 1 Scope 1.1 This Standard species the requirements for low-halogen aboveground (Type AG) reinforced thermosetting resin conduit (RTRC) and ttings for

43、installation and use in accordance with CSA C22.1, Canadian Electrical Code (CEC), Part I, and NFPA 70, National Electrical Code (NEC), in non-hazardous locations. 1.2 The products specied in this Standard are intended for use at -40C (-40F) to 110 C (230F). The products are for use above ground in

44、exposed and concealed locations. The products are also suitable for use below ground by direct burial or by encasement in concrete. 1.3 Type AG conduit has not been evaluated for directional boring applications. 1.4 This Standard covers ID (dimensions based on inside diameters) and IPS (dimensions b

45、ased on outside diameters of iron pipe sizes) conduit and ttings. Trade sizes (metric designators) are 1/2 (16) to 6 (155). Note: The values in parenthesis are metric size designations of conduits and ttings and do not necessarily reect metric trade sizes. 1.5 ID and IPS conduit are designated as SW

46、 (Standard Wall) or HW (Heavy Wall), which refer to specic wall thicknesses. 1.6 Fittings specied in this Standard include, but are not limited to, straight couplings, 5 angle couplings, adapters, and elbows with plain ends or integral belled ends at one or both ends, expansion joints, and conduit b

47、odies. Note: In Canada, conduit bodies are not evaluated as outlet boxes they are ttings. Requirements in this standard for conduit bodies intended for use as outlet boxes do not apply in Canada. In the United States, a conduit body may be used as an outlet box for the splicing of conductors. 2 Deni

48、tions 2.1 The following denitions apply in this standard: 2.2 Conduit body a conduit body is a separate portion of a conduit system that provides access through a removable cover(s) to the interior of the system at a junction of two or more sections of the system or at a terminal point of the system

49、. 2.3 Integral belled end a belled end installed at the factory, either integrally wound or a permanently attached coupling. 2.4 Low-halogen a material having not more than 0.2% by weight of total halogen content. 2.5 Type AG conduit and associated ttings that have been evaluated for use in exposed or concealed locations and/or for direct burial with or without being encased in concrete. Note: For other denitions, refer to NEC and/or CEC. JULY 31, 2009 C
