Construction:

High-Density Polyethylene

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 as permitted by The National Electrical Code® Article 353. 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

ASTM F2160 Standard Specification for Solid Wall High Density Polyethylene (HDPE) Conduit Based on Controlled Outside Diameter (OD)

UL 651A High Density Polyethylene (HPDE) Conduit
