Top 7 Conduit and Fittings in Canada for 2025: Contractor-Approved, Code-Ready Picks to Protect Wiring and Help You Avoid Costly Rework

The Thomas & Betts LB57 is a durable, cast-aluminum conduit body favored for heavy-duty industrial conduit runs and tight-space access points; its robust build and wide availability make it a go-to for electricians seeking long-term value. Compared to the other entries, the LB57 balances cost and heavy-duty performance better than specialty PVC options like Ipex and offers a more compact, economical alternative to larger, stainless or coated market-leader bodies. For conduit bodies use cases it stands out for proven field reliability and a lower total installed cost on steel and aluminum raceways.

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.

The Sigma ProConnex Liquidtight Connector occupies a distinct position as the specialist for flexible, liquidtight conduit applications where environmental sealing and strain relief are critical. Unlike the EMT-specific connectors above, ProConnex provides IP-rated protection and robust sealing for outdoor or wet environments, commanding a higher unit price but delivering application-specific savings by preventing moisture-related failures.

The Zinc EMT Compression Coupling by Halex is celebrated for its affordability and reliable performance across various environments. Its zinc-plated finish offers great protection against rust and corrosion, extending its usability compared to less durable options. While it may not have the advanced features of some competitors, its cost-effectiveness and ease of access make it a strong contender in the coupling market.

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.

Iberville's SC100 One-Hole Conduit Strap is recognized for its solid construction and reliability in supporting conduit securely across various applications. Its straightforward design allows for efficient installation, making it an economical choice for electrical projects. Although it competes with products from Eaton and Thomas & Betts, its lower price point does not compromise its functionality, appealing to budget-conscious consumers.
