What should you know about PVC pipe for electrical installation?

The system of tube rigid PVC for electrical installation, is perfect for interiors in places with low mechanical liability, such as public places, hospitals, schools and residential buildings. It is resistant to corrosion and does not spread flames in the event of a fire, and is insulating in nature. It is suitable for use in environments or installations that need to comply with the requirements of ITC-BT-28 and ITC-BT-29.

Specialization in the manufacture of tube Professional PVC for electrical installation It is essential, because if it is not a suitable pipe and the installation is not carried out by professionals, there are significant risks that can affect the physical integrity of people, such as fires, explosions and electric shocks.

Fires and explosions can occur because the passage of current through the conductor generates heat, especially in larger electrical installations. As for electric shocks, they can occur when a person touches one of the conductor's poles without proper insulation.

What improvements are obtained by using a PVC pipe to protect the electrical installation?

Thanks to the electrical conduit, the protection and routing of the electrical wiring is improved and there are various materials. In the case of tube PVC for electrical installation, is used for the conduction of electrical wiring, both apparent and hidden, and is especially recommended in grounded systems, because they do not conduct electricity.

We can find two types of tube PVC for the electrical installation, such as rigid tubes and flexible tubes.

• Flexible conduits are those conduits used for indoor installations and come in various thicknesses to suit every need. They are perfect for electrical installations embedded in ceilings and walls, to carry wiring from electrical junction boxes to mechanism boxes and lamps. Their use is recommended for temperatures ranging from -5 to 60 degrees.
• Rigid conduits for electrical wiring are used in indoor and outdoor installations that are intended to be carried out without any construction work, on the surface of ceilings and walls, i.e. surface installation. They perfectly resist impact or crushing and are very resistant and durable.

PVC pipes for electrical installations are used for domestic and commercial applications. They are electro-insulators and serve to protect against the electricity carried by cables in all types of electrical installations. They are pipes that do not rust and that resist humidity and water, also having a resistant behaviour at high and low temperatures.
