Conduit

Systems for power and communication cable networks

Polymer conduit systems provide protective, long lasting assets that meet regulations.

Polymer conduit systems provide solutions for the networking of power and communication services, they are covered by recognised standards, and third-party product certification is available. BPF Pipes Group members manufacturer branded products that are UKCA or CE marked under the electrical equipment regulations, meeting important legal obligations. Products are also supported by third-party product certification, for added assurance.

Polymer conduit systems can save time, offering flexibility to correct for misalignment and for routing round obstructions. Supplied in long length coils, polymer conduit reduces the number of joints to make, and systems are available with different joint types, including speedy push-fit.

Polymer conduit systems can offer a hassle free solution with long lengths / fewer joints providing an enclosure that keeps out solid foreign objects, for added protection. Some systems also feature enhanced water ingress protection.

Polymer conduit systems are ideal for routing power and communication cables, products have a smooth bore and are available in a wide range of profiles e.g. angle, sweep, combined with the high resistance to long term deformation.

Polymer conduit systems are lower maintenance, products have high corrosion resistance.

Meta-study, ‘100 years lifetime of plastic pipes,’ was carried out by the Polymer Competence Center in Leoben, Austria, and commissioned by TEPPFA, the European Plastic Pipes and Fittings Association. It is a statistical analysis based upon significant and independently verified research and findings from existing literature on the expected service lifetime of plastic pipes, and is detailed at TEPPFA website. 100 years lifetime of plastic pipes 13th February 2024
