NCCER Wireways, Raceways & Fittings Practice Test

A conduit connector is specifically designed to join two sections of conduit. This device ensures a secure and reliable electrical connection while allowing for the continuity of the raceway system, which is crucial for protecting electrical wires and maintaining the integrity of the circuit. Conduit connectors come in various designs to accommodate different types of conduit materials, such as metal or PVC, and enable easy installation and maintenance of the conduit system.

In contrast, raceway straps are used to secure the conduit to structures, not to connect sections. Anchor plates serve a different purpose by providing a mounting point for hanging conduits or raceways, while insulation sleeves are utilized to protect wires from abrasion or damage, not for connecting parts of conduits. Understanding the specific roles of these devices reinforces the importance of selecting the right component for electrical installations.
