Product specifications

Polyethylene pipe and duct for electrical installations, fiber optics and telecommunications.

HDPE conduit

Built for demanding underground runs

Our conduit has a smooth internal and external wall and is produced in black with red or orange stripes. Other colors can be produced for project requirements. Available controlled outside diameters run from 1¼ inches to 12 inches under ASTM D3035 and F2160.

Pipe is produced across a wide range of diameters, colors and SDRs. Installed capacity supports outside diameters from 1½ inches to 60 inches for special projects. Virgin resin is sourced from quality suppliers.
