Schedule 80 PVC conduit is generally required in situations where the conduit will be exposed to harsh environments or subject to physical damage.
Some common situations where Schedule 80 PVC conduit may be required include:
Outdoor installations: Schedule 80 PVC conduit is often required for outdoor installations because it is more durable and resistant to weathering than Schedule 40 PVC conduit.
Chemical exposure: Schedule 80 PVC conduit is more resistant to chemical exposure than Schedule 40 PVC conduit, making it a better choice for installations in areas where it may be exposed to chemicals.
Buried installations: Schedule 80 PVC conduit is more resistant to crushing and damage from soil and rocks than Schedule 40 PVC conduit, making it a better choice for buried installations.
High temperature environments: Schedule 80 PVC conduit can withstand higher temperatures than Schedule 40 PVC conduit, making it a better choice for installations in areas where temperatures may be high.
Ultimately, the decision to use Schedule 80 PVC conduit will depend on the specific requirements of the installation and any applicable codes and regulations. It's always best to consult with a licensed electrician or other qualified professional to determine the appropriate type of conduit for a given installation.
