High-density polyethylene (HDPE) conduit is the preferred material to house and protect electrical power and telecommunications cables within. It offers unmatched corrosion and chemical resistance, is flexible, durable and available in long reel lengths to reduce joints and installation time. HDPE conduit is available in a variety of sizes, colors, dimensions and lengths.

• Supplied in long coils on spools or reels, HDPE conduit is compact for shipping
• HDPE conduit follows the trench contours and can be installed around obstacles underground
• Bends and flexes without breakage, even with ground heaves or shifts, over a wide range of temperatures
• High ductility, resists damage during transportation, handling, and installation
• Excellent toughness to withstand jobsite conditions and provide long life underground
• Resists brittleness due to aging or cold weather and retains impact resistance

• Supplied in long coils, HDPE conduit installs with fewer joints, and is ideal for horizontal directional drilling (HDD) and plowing installations
• Long coil lengths allow greater flexibility in system design

• The COF of HDPE conduit can be 30% lower than PVC raceway
• Improves the effectiveness of lubrication
• Longer pull lengths are possible, so that so manholes are placed farther apart

• Chemical attack - HDPE is resistance to corrosive chemicals and aggressive soils
• Corrosion - HDPE is non-conducting, does not suffer from corrosion due to soil or water contact
• Bacteria - No host nutrients for bacterial/ fungal growth

• HDPE conduit remains ductile at low installation temperatures well below freezing, and does not become brittle or shatter
• The maximum operating temperature of HDPE conduit is compatible with the operating temperatures of the power cables
• Power conductors rated at 90ºC (194ºF) and medium voltage cable rated at 105ºC (220ºF) are permitted for use with some PE Conduit
