Product description
FABCO Rigid PVC Direct Burial pipes are specifically engineered to meet the rigorous requirements of NEMA TC 6 and TC 8, as well as ASTM F 512 standards for electrical use. Designed for Type DB-120 applications, these pipes offer superior resistance to moisture, chemicals, and soil pressure, making them ideal for permanent underground installations where metal conduits may corrode or fail.
Key Features & Benefits
- Direct Burial Capability: Manufactured to withstand direct contact with soil without the need for a protective concrete casing.
- Corrosion Resistance: Unlike galvanized steel or GI pipes, rigid PVC does not rust or corrode, ensuring a longer service life in harsh underground environments.
- Standard Compliance: Fully compliant with NEMA TC 6 (PVC Type DB-120) and ASTM F 512, ensuring safety and reliability for electrical infrastructure.
- Smooth Interior Surface: Facilitates easy cable pulling and reduces friction, protecting cable insulation during installation.
- Lightweight & Durable: Easier to handle and install than metal alternatives while maintaining high structural integrity.
These pipes are suitable for a wide range of applications, including residential wiring, commercial building foundations, and industrial outdoor electrical routing. Their UV-stabilized formulation also allows for temporary above-ground exposure if required during construction phases.
