NEMA Publishes NEMA TC 14-2015 Series of Standards
ROSSLYN, Va., —The National Electrical Manufacturers Association (NEMA) published the NEMA TC 14-2015 series of standards: NEMA TC 14.AG-2015 Aboveground Reinforced Thermosetting Resin Conduit (RTRC) and Fittings, NEMA TC 14.BG-2015 Belowground Reinforced Thermosetting Resin Conduit and Fittings, and NEMA TC 14.XW-2015 Extra Heavy Wall Aboveground Reinforced Thermosetting Resin Conduit and Fittings.
NEMA TC 14.AG-2015, NEMA TC 14.BG-2015, and NEMA TC 14.XW-2015 are adoptions of UL 2515, UL 2420, and UL 2515A respectively, and together supersede NEMA TC 14-2002. This new TC 14 series separates requirements for RTRC and fittings to align with these UL standards.
