Answer
The requirement for installer certification is something we are seeing in the marketplace, more and more. A critical component of a PVC-coated conduit system is proper installation. Hence, since most failures are due to improper installation, proper installation is essential for ensuring the best possible service life for a conduit system.
Installer certification is based upon training that includes classroom instruction, hands-on instruction, and an exam. After the training has concluded, those who have passed the installer certification exam are issued an official certified installer card that is good for two years from the date of issue. The expiration date ensures that those installing PVC-coated conduit have been informed or reminded of the latest installation techniques and tools. Installer Certification is free of charge and is available at the job site, contractor’s office, or the manufacturing facility.
