SPEC 87000

EPEC-17 (SDR 17)

...

Construction:

• Manufactured by continuously extruding HDPE loosely around the cable assembly with no adhesion between the conduit and the cable, thus leaving the cables free in the conduit.
• Lubrication is applied to the cable, allowing for cables to be pulled out and replaced if necessary.
• All cables are installed as single conductors or paralleled in HDPE conduit and are available in Standard Wall, Schedule 40, Schedule 80, SDR 13.5, SDR 11, and EPEC-17.

Applications and Features:

Commonly installed from transformer to transformer or as underground cables exiting substations
