Key Features and Benefits

Concrete-Encased Mechanical Protection

Resists external pressures, crushing, and construction loads very well.

Electrical Safety

Apartment of non-conductive materials, PVC totally removes the risks of electric shock and grounding problems.

Corrosion & Moisture Resistance

EB-20 PVC is not only rust but also degradation-proof, thus, is great for alkaline concrete and moist soil conditions, unlike metal conduits.

Smooth Internal Bore

Makes the pulling of cables safe and hence, it cuts down the labor cost and the risk of cable being damaged.

Heat & UV Resistance

Still functions even in high ambient temperatures of the Gulf region.

Lightweight & Easy Handling

Porting and installing on-site become much easier.

Long Operating Life

Maintenance-free service of several decades is planned which will, therefore, reduce the lifecycle cost.

ApplicationTelecom/utility corridorsResidential & small‑scale wiring

Best Industry Practices:

• Make sure to construct the trench beds properly - no sharp items should be in the way
• When making turns, use a slight inside radius to avoid stress on the cable and keep from breaking it
• Use duct spacers to keep the banks aligned when installing underground duct systems
• Clean liners prior to pulling cables through the conduit
• Always check fittings for good fit-up before you install them
