2. Electrical conduit - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrical_conduit

   Galvanized rigid conduit (GRC) is galvanized steel tubing, with a tubing wall that is thick enough to allow it to be threaded. Its common applications are in commercial and industrial construction. [1] It is designed to protect wire and connectors. Intermediate metal conduit (IMC) is a steel tubing heavier than EMT but lighter than RMC. It may ...

3. Cross-linked polyethylene - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cross-linked_polyethylene

   A cross-linked polyethylene (PEX) pipe. Cross-linked polyethylene, commonly abbreviated PEX, XPE or XLPE, is a form of polyethylene with cross-links.It is used predominantly in building services pipework systems, hydronic radiant heating and cooling systems, domestic water piping, insulation for high tension (high voltage) electrical cables, and baby play mats.

4. IDC (electrical connector) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IDC_(electrical_connector)

   An insulation-displacement contact (IDC), also known as insulation-piercing contact (IPC), is an electrical connector designed to be connected to the conductor(s) of an insulated cable by a connection process which forces a selectively sharpened blade or blades through the insulation, bypassing the need to strip the conductors of insulation ...

5. Compression fitting - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compression_fitting

   A compression fitting 15 mm isolating valve. A compression fitting is a fitting used in plumbing and electrical conduit systems to join two tubes or thin-walled pipes together. . In instances where two pipes made of dissimilar materials are to be joined (most commonly PVC and copper), the fittings will be made of one or more compatible materials appropriate for the connect

6. Thermoplastic-sheathed cable - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermoplastic-sheathed_cable

   The type of thermoplastic, the dimensions of the conductors and the colour of their individual insulation (if any) are specified by the regulatory bodies in the various countries concerned. [1] Thermoplastic-sheathed cable is more vulnerable to rodent damage and accidental mechanical damage than wiring within electrical conduit or armoured cable.

7. Piping and plumbing fitting - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Piping_and_plumbing_fitting

   The bodies of fittings for pipe and tubing are often the same base material as the pipe or tubing connected: copper, steel, PVC, CPVC, or ABS. Any material permitted by the plumbing, health, or building code (as applicable) may be used, but it must be compatible with the other materials in the system, the fluids being transported, and the ...
