The Ipex Scepter 078104 PVC Bushing is an economical PVC solution that excels in corrosion resistance and low upfront cost for non-metallic conduit systems. It’s the most budget-friendly option here and performs well in wet or chemically aggressive environments compared with metal alternatives like the IBERVILLE EB75-10 and Bridgeport grounding bushing, though it does not provide grounding continuity. For buyers specifying conduit bushings on a tight budget or in plastic-pipe systems, its low material cost and chemical resilience make it a practical selection.

IPEX Scepter PVC Conduit Coupling
The IPEX Scepter PVC Conduit Coupling is a cost-effective, corrosion-resistant PVC solution favored for nonmetallic conduit systems because it is lightweight, easy to cut and join, and resists moisture and chemical exposure. It holds its position here for delivering the lowest material cost and fastest handling compared with metal alternatives like the Thomas & Betts steel connector or the heavy RACO rigid coupling, while offering a simpler install profile than box- or elbow-specific parts such as the Southwire SIMPush or Arlington 90-degree elbow. For projects where code and mechanical protection allow PVC, it provides a clear financial advantage through lower part price and reduced labor time.
