PLASTO PVC RIGID CONDUIT PIPE
Introduction to PVC Electrical Conduit Pipe
When it comes to electric pipes, Plasto is the best PVC Electrical Conduit Pipes in India. They are made to give best protection to your electrical cables. Manufactured under great supervision, Plasto conduit pipes pass all parameters required for an electrical pipe to be claimed “high quality”. Plasto conduit pipes can be used for Commercial, Industrial and Utility functions. These electrical pipes are versatile and can be used in a variety of areas and specially outdoors as they are waterproof, easy to install and most importantly light weight.
What is a PVC Conduit Pipe?
PVC conduit pipes are the pipes used to protect electric cables and wires. These pipes are made from PVC (polyvinyl chloride) where Vinyl is mixed with plastic. The PVC material helps the pipes to be installed outdoors as well as in the undergrounds.
PVC material is retardant to flame and fires and has a self extinguishing feature that doesn’t allow the fire to spread. The material is highly tensile and can be easily installed in tough and tight spaces with the right application of heat on it. PVC conduits act as a very economical choice than the available expensive materials such as copper tubing or electrical metal tubings.
Plasto electrical pipes are used at wet, outdoor or underground locations where the electric cables and wires require protection, say it be from the water, from harmful impact and from wear and tear. People often get confused between a normal PVC pipe and a PVC conduit pipe. Are they both the same? They are not. Both the pipes have different uses and purposes. So it becomes very important to first know the basic difference between a normal PVC pipe and a PVC conduit pipe.
Difference between Plumbing PVC pipe and Electrical PVC conduit pipe
Following are some differences between the two pipe types:
1. Pressure Handling Capacity
The very first difference is the pressure handling capacity of the two pipe types. Regular plumbing PVC pipes have more wall thickness than the PVC electrical pipe and thus are tested for pressure. Plumbing pipes need to handle the pressure of the water, hence only those pipes tested for pressure must be used. Conduit pipes are not pressure tested and thus cannot be used for delivering water.
2. Waterproof
The very first difference is the pressure handling capacity of the two pipe types. Regular plumbing PVC pipes have more wall thickness than the PVC electrical pipe and thus are tested for pressure. Plumbing pipes need to handle the pressure of the water, hence only those pipes tested for pressure must be used. Conduit pipes are not pressure tested and thus cannot be used for delivering water.
3. Wall Thickness
Plumbing PVC pipes have thicker walls when compared to PVC conduits. Conduit pipes don’t require extreme pressure and thus have less wall thickness. Plumbing PVC pipes are supposed to bear extreme water pressure and pressure of the walls thus we can see walls of plumbing PVC pipes thick.
Now that you know the basic difference between the regular plumbing PVC pipe and an electrical PVC conduit pipe, it’s important to know why electric cables in your house need to be protected. Many people don’t give attention to the electric wires in their house. But a small behavior of carelessness can lead to a big misfortune.
Less breakdown of cables and wires can lead to seamless flow of data and increased stability in performance.
Reduced cost and expenses of regular repairs.
Increases lifespan of the wires and cables.
Minimize the chances of misfortune and enhance the lives of people around and of the property.
From this, you know the reasons of why you should adapt conduit pipes in your house.
Advantages of Plasto PVC Conduit Pipes
1. Durable
Plasto conduit pipes are manufactured to withstand decent pressure. These pipes don’t have cracks and fractures. Plasto electrical pipes can easily bend to 180 deg. Without getting cracked. This shows the quality of these conduit pipes. The steel pipes get rusted easily whereas PVC pipes don’t degrade and have a long lifespan.
2. Fire Retardant
Plasto electrical conduit pipes have a self extinguishing feature that doesn’t allow the pipe to catch or spread fire. Low quality conduit pipes of the market catch fire and can damage the electrical cables inside it.
3. Can Withstand Heavy Pressure
When exposed to compression, Plasto conduit pipe can withstand the pressure of 320N and 750N easily. When the OD of the pipe is measured, it is observed that the pipe has a deformation of less than 5%. This shows the toughness of the pipe and its pressure handling capacity.
4. Impact Resistant
Plasto electrical pipes can withstand various impacts without getting any cracks or fractures.
5. Waterproof
Plasto conduit pipes are used in the outdoors and in the undergrounds to protect the cables from unwanted harm and most importantly from the water. As these pipes are exposed and run throughout the building, it has the ability to protect the wires from the water outside and even from the harmful ultraviolet lights.
6. Convenient & Easy To Install
Plasto PVC conduit pipes are more smoother from the inside when compared to metallic or copper tubes. Plasto electrical pipes are light in weight and thus easy to install makes it more convenient for the people.
