SPEC 87005

EPEC 40 (Schedule 40)

...

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.
