uPVC Electrical Conduit – 50 mm (1½″) – Class 3 | Medium Duty

Saudi Ducts > uPVC Electrical Conduit – 50 mm (1½″) – Class 3 | Medium Duty

uPVC Electrical Conduit 50 mm (1½″) – Class 3 Medium Duty

 Strong & Reliable Electrical Wiring Solution for KSA & Gulf

The electrical infrastructure of Saudi Arabia and the Gulf region is difficult to bear as it has to endure very high temperatures, humidity, dust, and long hours of operation. The right electrical conduit selection is the key to the safety, durability, and conformity of the regional construction standards.

The uPVC Electrical Conduit – 50 mm (1½″) – Class 3 | Medium Duty has been designed to offer a greater mechanical strength than the light-duty conduits, which makes it perfect for the area of application where moderate external stress is anticipated. It is a mixture of strength, flexibility, and cost-efficiency, thus becoming one of the most favorite conduit solutions of contractors, consultants, and developers across the GCC.

The uPVC Electrical Conduit – 50 mm (1½″) – Class 3 Medium Duty is designed for electrical installations that demand greater impact resistance than light-duty conduits, while remaining lightweight and easy to install.

Its 50 mm diameter provides sufficient internal space for multiple power, lighting, and communication cables, ensuring organized cable management and efficient heat dissipation. The conduit’s smooth internal bore minimizes friction, reducing the risk of cable damage during pulling and installation.

This medium-duty conduit is ideal for concealed, surface, and semi-exposed installations, commonly found in residential complexes, commercial buildings, retail spaces, and light industrial facilities throughout the Gulf region.

Understanding uPVC Electrical Conduits

The usage of uPVC (Unplasticized Polyvinyl Chloride) in the production of electrical conduits has become quite common due to its rigidity, fantastic insulation, and resistance to the effects of the environment among others.

uPVC conduits, unlike their metal counterparts, will never corrode, will not conduct electricity and will not need to be earthed. Therefore, they are completely safe, along with being easy to install and more reliable in the extreme weather conditions of KSA and Gulf countries.

Cables are protected by electrical conduits which act as a shield against:

  • Mechanical damage
  • Moisture and humidity
  • Dust and contaminants
  • Chemical exposure
  • Accidental contact

Key Benefits of Class 3 Medium-Duty uPVC Conduit

Enhanced Mechanical Protection

Class 3 conduits offer higher impact resistance than light-duty conduits, making them suitable for areas with moderate physical stress.

Electrical Safety

uPVC is non-conductive, eliminating the risk of electric shock and short circuits.

Ideal Cable Capacity

The 50 mm diameter supports multiple cables without congestion, improving airflow and reducing overheating.

Corrosion & Chemical Resistance

Perfect for humid, coastal, and chemically exposed environments common in the Gulf.

Ease of Installation

Lightweight material allows faster installation, reducing labor costs and project timelines.

Long Service Life

Designed for 20–25 years of reliable performance with minimal maintenance.

  • Residential apartments and villas
  • Commercial office buildings
  • Shopping malls and retail outlets
  • Hospitals and educational institutions
  • Parking structures
  • Light industrial facilities
  • Surface and concealed wiring systems
  • Electrical retrofitting and renovation projects

This conduit is widely approved and accepted in KSA, UAE, Qatar, Oman, Bahrain, and Kuwait.

How uPVC Electrical Conduit – 50 mm Medium Duty Is Used

Installation Method

  • Plan conduit routing according to the electrical drawings.
  • Cut conduit by the required length with the help of a PVC cutter.
  • Connect sections with the use of appropriate couplers.
  • Make sure the conduit is stable with clamps or saddles.
  • Install bends or elbows in places where it is needed.
  • Use fish tape to pull electric cables.
  • Check the joints and alignment.

Installation Best Practices

  • Steer clear of making too many bends.
  • Keep the distance between supports within the limits set by the manufacturer.
  • Cables should be kept well within the prescribed load limit.
  • Comply with the local electrical codes and safety regulations.
