LSZH + Rigid Electrical Conduit

What is a Rigid Conduit?

A rigid conduit is a tubular structure designed to provide a robust & sturdy protective layer for electrical wiring. Made from durable materials, it offers a fixed path for electrical wiring which ensures they remain shielded from external damages and environmental factors.

Main uses of Rigid Conduit

Rigid conduits are commonly used in both commercial and industrial settings. Their robust nature makes them ideal for areas exposed to potential physical damages, such as construction sites, industrial facilities, and outdoor installations. They are also preferred in settings where a permanent wiring solution is desired.

What is the Difference Between Rigid and Flexible Corrugated Conduit ?

  • Rigid Conduit: Offers a fixed, sturdy protective layer, ideal for permanent installations and areas prone to physical damages.
  • Flexible Corrugated Conduit: Provides adaptability and is suitable for intricate installations, allowing for movement and bending without breaking.

Advantages of LSZH Rigid Conduit vs PVC Alternatives

  • Eco-Friendly: LSZH rigid conduits are made without harmful halogens, making them a greener choice.
  • Safety: In the event of combustion, LSZH conduits release fewer toxic and corrosive gases compared to PVC.
  • Temperature Resilience: LSZH conduits can withstand a broader temperature range, offering versatility in various environments.
