Concrete Encased Electrical Conduit for Underground Installations in KSA & Gulf Region
Saudi Arabia and the Gulf region’s contemporary infrastructure projects necessitate underground electrical systems that are safe, durable, and compliant with regulations. The PVC Type EB-20 Conduit – 20 mm (½″) is the product that has been specifically developed to satisfy these demands and to provide a trustworthy concrete-encased solution for the safeguarding of electrical and low-voltage cables in extreme conditions.
The conduits EB-20 that are made for concrete encasement offer superior mechanical protection from other sources such as external loads, soil pressure, and construction stress. The 20 mm (½″) size is perfect for branch circuits, control wiring, lighting systems, and low-voltage applications, thus being an attractive option for residential, commercial, and municipal projects.
The PVC Type EB-20 conduit, due to its excellent heat resistance, corrosion immunity, and long service life, is an essential factor in safely and over a long term providing underground electrical infrastructure in the Gulf area.
The PVC Type EB-20 Conduit – 20 mm (½″) is a rigid PVC electrical conduit designed exclusively for concrete-encased underground installations. Classified under EB-20, it offers medium-duty mechanical strength when embedded in concrete, ensuring protection against impact, compression, and external loads.
This conduit is manufactured from high-quality, non-conductive PVC, ensuring electrical insulation, fire safety, and corrosion resistance. Its smooth internal bore minimizes friction, enabling easy cable pulling and reducing the risk of conductor damage.
The EB-20 20 mm conduit is widely used in building foundations, slabs, duct banks, substations, and utility corridors, making it an essential component in Gulf region electrical infrastructure.
