It fails where something changes: a termination, a transition into an enclosure, a fitting that wasn&rsquo;t built for washdown, salt air or a classified area. That&rsquo;s where moisture gets in, and where the callback starts.<\/p>\n<h2>The weak point is the connection<\/h2>\n<p>Water treatment plants, food processing floors, power generation and transportation infrastructure all put the same stress on a raceway system: water, chemicals, temperature swings and vibration, often for decades. The pipe can handle it. The question is whether every fitting, box and termination around it can too.<\/p>\n<p>O-Z\/Gedney has spent more than 150 years building electrical products for exactly those environments. In the manufacturer&rsquo;s words, every product &ldquo;is built to pass a simple test.
