Poly Vinyl Chloride composition is used for many products these days. Junction boxes, fittings and conduit are a few products that are made for the electrical trade that are made out of PVC. Most electrical engineered underground installations specify that PVC conduit be used because of its resistance to corrosion. Steel conduit systems, that PVC replaces, were found to disintegrate after a few years in the ground.
