polyethylene conduit with an integrated toning wire

Product Description:

conduit is made from high quality high-density polyethylene (HDPE). The conduit meets industry standard wall thickness in ¾，1，1¼，1½，and 2 inch diameters. The polyethylene is blended with a premium UV stabilization and protection package. Our unique toning wire is 18-gauge copper clad steel (CCS) coated with a fluoropolymer jacket. The wire is located within a channel built onto the inner wall of the conduit. An 18-gauge wire was selected to maintain wall thickness and provide optimal tone carrying characteristics. CCS provides the necessary amount of copper to carry a tone over long distances and a steel core that is more durable than a solid copper wire. The fluoropolymer allows the wire to move independently of the conduit eliminating stresses on the wire and conduit. The fluoropolymer coating also provides critical insulative and corrosion protection to the 'exposed' wire. A Fluoropolymer compound was selected as the tone wire coating because it offers higher resistance to chemicals，water，and abrasion relative to plastics.

• Tone wire located within a channel builtt onto the inner wall of conduit for easy location

• High density polyethylene material for superior resistance to cracking or shattering of conduit

• UV protection to protect from cracking during storage or when used as a ground riser

• Continuous length conduit installs faster than PVC stick pipe

• Provides excellent cable removal and replacement capabilities

• Available with pre-installed CommScope cable or pull line
