Product Information
Full details
The Profix 20mm PVC Conduit Box Angle (PCF20AW) is designed for electrical contractors and DIY enthusiasts who need to execute clean, right-angle turns in their conduit routing. Its primary benefit is providing a robust, 90-degree junction point that keeps cables protected and organized, though users should note it is specifically engineered for 20mm conduit systems and will not accommodate larger diameter piping.

FAQs
Is this product suitable for outdoor use?
While the PVC is durable, it is primarily designed for indoor electrical conduit systems. Prolonged direct UV exposure may cause discoloration.
Can I use this with 25mm conduit?
No, this component is specifically sized for 20mm conduit. It will not fit larger pipe diameters.
Does this product come with screws for mounting?
The conduit box angle is designed to be supported by the rigidity of the conduit run itself; mounting hardware is generally not required for the unit itself.
Can the white finish be painted?
Yes, if you wish to match the conduit to a specific wall color, you can use a high-quality plastic-bonding spray paint.
What is the material composition?
It is manufactured from high-grade, rigid PVC, which provides excellent electrical insulation and mechanical strength.
Troubleshooting
Conduit does not slide into the fitting easily
Check the end of the conduit for burrs or debris; file the edge smooth if necessary.
Loose connection between conduit and box
Use a PVC-compatible conduit solvent cement to permanently bond and seal the joint.
Visible gaps at the junction
Ensure the conduit is pushed past the internal stop within the fitting to guarantee a full, secure fit.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Durable and impact-resistant PVC material
- Simplifies complex wiring layout turns
- Industry-standard 20mm sizing ensures wide compatibility
- Professional white finish requires no additional painting
- Provides added physical protection for electrical cables
Cons
- Not compatible with conduits larger than 20mm
- Rigid design requires accurate measurement of pipe runs
- PVC can become brittle if exposed to extreme UV over long periods
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install, ensure your 20mm conduit is cut square and free of internal burrs. Simply slide the conduit ends into the box angle ports until they seat firmly. If you are working in a damp environment, apply a suitable PVC conduit adhesive to the joints to ensure a moisture-resistant seal. For maintenance, keep the exterior clean by wiping it down with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using harsh chemical solvents, as these may degrade the PVC finish. Periodically check that the conduit remains fully seated within the angle box, particularly in high-traffic areas where accidental contact might occur.
