How It Is Used
- According to project design, plan cable routing
- With the help of suitable tools, cut conduits to the lengths required
- Using PVC couplers, bends, and junction boxes, connect the sections
- Conduits should be secured using clamps or be embedded in concrete
- Cables should be pulled through conduits smoothly; if necessary, lubricate
- Inspect, test, and make sure of the adherence to GCC/KSA standards
- Installation Tips:
- Do not make sharp bends; thus, the stress on cables will be minimized
- Long runs should be properly aligned and supported
- In outdoor installations, check for UV exposure; if necessary, use protective coatings
Advantages Over Metal Conduits
| Feature | uPVC Class 4 | Metal Conduit |
|---|---|---|
| Corrosion Resistance | Excellent | Prone to rust, especially in humid/coastal areas |
| Mechanical Strength | Heavy-duty | High, but requires thicker walls and support |
| Electrical Safety | Non-conductive | Conductive, requires earthing |
| Weight | Lightweight | Heavy, difficult to handle and transport |
| Installation | Quick & easy | Requires threading/welding, more labor-intensive |
| Flame Resistance | Self-extinguishing | Depends on coating |
| Maintenance | Minimal | Moderate to high |
