Construction:

High-Density Polyethylene (HDPE)

Applications and Features:

Designed to house and protect wire and cable products in various underground applications for commercial constructions, EV infrastructure expansions, Utility grid-hardening efforts, airports, mass transit, renewables, petrochemical, agriculture, and data centers. May be installed directly buried or encased in concrete. For above ground applications, HDPE conduit must be encased in a minimum of 2 inches of concrete.

Specifications:

ASTM D3350 Standard Specification for Polyethylene Plastics Pipe and Fittings Materials

CSA CSA marking is available upon request

Buy American: Compliant with Buy American Requirements, found in 49 U.S.C. § 5323(j); specify “Made in the USA Only!” when ordering to ensure your project receives American made products.
