  4. Smooth internal surface: It makes cable installation very easy.
  5. Heat resistance: It works well in hot Gulf regions.
  6. Lightweight & easy to handle: Less installation time and lower labor costs.
  7. Long-term durability: It is maintenance-free for decades.

Applications of PVC Type EB-20 Conduit – 25 mm

  • Main power distribution networks

  • Residential, commercial, and industrial foundations

  • Utility duct banks and service corridors

  • Instrumentation and control wiring

  • Parking structures and basements

  • Industrial facilities and municipal infrastructure

  • Substations and high-capacity underground electrical installations

Why PVC EB-20 110 mm is Ideal for KSA & Gulf Region

  • Survives scorching desert temperatures and significant variations in temperature
  • Impervious to water, rust, and chemicals
  • Meets local electrical codes (GCC, KSA)
  • Affordable solution and convenient to move and set up
  • Durable performance for installations in concrete casing

Installation Method (How It Is Used)

  1. Site Assessment & Layout – Draw the routes for conduits according to the approved drafts.
  2. Trench or Slab Preparation – Perform the operation with correct positioning and cutting depth.
  3. Conduit Placement – Put the EB-20 conduit in the trench or on the foundation and fasten it.
  4. Jointing – Make leak-proof connections by using either solvent weld or mechanical couplers.
  5. Concrete Encasement – Fill the area with concrete until the conduit is completely covered.
  6. Cable Pullling – After the setting time, the cables can easily be pulled through the smooth bore.

Accessories & Fittings

  • PVC couplers (straight)

  • 45° and 90° bends

  • Junction and inspection boxes

  • Solvent cement for jointing

  • Spacers, clamps, and support brackets
