Conduit Pipes for Protection of Wires and Cables

Fire is one of the major hazards to life and property, and electrical installations are perhaps one of the primary sources for generation and propagation of fire. Protection of cables and raceways against fire is therefore an important and primary consideration in the design and industry standards. Astral Wire Guard conduit pipes and fittings have good impact strength, superior light proof and chemical resistance. They have high heat deflection temperature and ductile behaviour even at low temperatures.

Astral Wire Guard conduit is available in three different wall thicknesses with the thin wall variety being suitable for embedded use in concrete and heavier grades suitable for direct burial and exposed work. Astral Wire Guard conduit pipes and fittings resist moisture and most corrosive substances. Joints to fittings are made with slip-on solvent welded connections, which stick on rapidly on assembling and attain full strength in about few hours.
