Key Features and Benefits

Concrete-Encased Protection

Specially designed to be embedded in concrete, the EB-20 conduit provides extra mechanical protection against external forces.

Electrical Safety

Since PVC is non-conductive, it completely prevents electric shock and grounding failures.

Corrosion & Chemical Resistance

PVC, unlike metal conduits, does not suffer from rust and corrosion making it the right choice for alkaline concrete environments.

Smooth Internal Bore

Easier pulling of cables, less labor time and less cable damage.

Heat & UV Resistance

Gulf high-temperature encasement performs reliable.

Lightweight & Easy Handling

Made on site transportation and installation less effort.

Long Service Life

Decades of maintenance-free operation are the norm for this product.
