Technical Reference
Conduit Weight
A 20’
length of 4” fiberglass
weighs only 16lbs.
That’s 84% less
weight than rigid steel
and 55% less weight than
PVC!
Result– increased worker
productivity.
Lower
Installed Cost
Due to
its high strength and
rigidity, direct burial
is an
alternative to concrete
encasement and fewer
duct spacers are
required. Result-lower
installed cost.
Faster
Installation
Bell and spigot push-fit
gasket joint requires no
threading or adhesives.
Result-faster
installation times.
Corrosion Resistant
Fiberglass conduit
contains UV inhibitors,
and is resistant to a
wide variety of
chemicals including road
salts, jet fuels and
acids. Perfect for
airports. Result– long
system life.
Thermal Stability
Fiberglass conduit has
an operating temperature
range of –40° to 230°F.
Result-fiberglass can be
installed year round and
in a variety of harsh
environments.
Lowest Co-efficient of
Friction
Fiberglass conduit
dissipates heat much
quicker than
thermoplastic PVC and
rigid steel and will not
burn through. Result–
longer pulls with no
conduit or cable damage. |
