The breath of Tyco Electrical and Metal Products product family includes: allied Tube & Conduit, Unistrut Framing Systems, Ladder and Cable Tray and Telecommunications Conduits are manufactured under ISO 9001 in accordance with conduits are manufactured in Somerton, Victoria. allied conduits are manufactured in light, medium and heavy duty grades.

2 Most conduit fittings are heavy duty and Telecommunications Conduits and Fittings to meet all your construction needs. This comprehensive guide was created with engineers, contractors, electricians and utilities in mind. It includes specifications, design and installation guidelines for our high quality rigid PVC conduit and Conduits and Fittings Features1 allied PVC Electrical and Telecommunications Conduits are manufactured to conform to AS/NZS commercial , industrial and utility usageALLIED PVC Electrical and Telecommunications Conduits are proven durable and effective for years of maintenance-free performance in underground, encased and exposed applications in accordance with the Nation Building Code of Australia (BCA) and AS/NZS3000: 2007 (the Wiring Rules).

Conduit can be easily cut using a hacksaw, a fine-toothed hand saw or PVC conduit cutters. For conduit that has a diameter larger than 32mm HD or 40mm HD, it is recommended to use a miter box or saw guide to ensure a square cut.

4 Debur the cut end using a knife or it is required to bend the conduit on-site during installation. Conduit not exceeding 25mm in diameter can be bent cold using a bending spring. When heat is needed, to make a bend, heat a section of conduit that is ten times the diameter in length. Use only a flameless heat source, like brick rubbing or a heat gun. Do not use an open flame to heat the the conduit evenly. If the conduit is not heated to the appropriate temperature the conduit may collapse or kink when bent. Once the conduit is heated, bend to desired degree, then bend a few extra degrees to allow for spring back. After bending, immediately fix conduit with saddles or other - Solvent CementingLengths of rigid PVC conduit and fittings are connected by solvent cement joints.

5 These joints are strong, permanent and leak :1. Debur the spigot end of the Clean the outside of the spigot and the inside of the socket of all dirt and Before applying the cement, push the spigot into the socket to ensure they fit together Apply solvent cement to the inside of the socket and then to the outside of the Push the spigot into the socket until it bottoms, turn a one-quarter turn to ensure that the solvent is spread around the entire Hold together for a few seconds until joint is cemented joints appear to be made immediately, however do not handle the joint for approximately 5 minutes and allow 10 hours for the joint to completely installing conduit in cold weather, a primer should be applied before the solvent cement. Also, keep the primer and solvent cement warm to prevent it from thickening and becoming hard to of MaterialsConduit and fittings should be stored at the same temperature, otherwise they may become incompatible due to different expansion and contraction PVC conduit and fittings can be installed in locations with continuous service temperature not exceeding 60 C and not below -5 JointsIn long runs with large expected temperature variance, expansion joints need to be installed along each run of conduit.

6 2 PVC SpecificationsAll Conduit and Fittings are manufactured and tested in strict accordance with AS/NZS 2053 Conduit and Fittings for Electrical is hard and rigid with an ultimate tensile stress of approximately 52 MPa at 20 C and is resistant to most chemicals. Generally PVC can be used at temperatures from -5 C up to +60 C, although the actual temperature limit is dependent on stress and environmental conduits have excellent resistance to chemical attack which make them particularly suitable for a wide range of contaminated ground or specific foul water and industrial systems, they are highly resistant to strong acids, alkalis and surfactants. They can be used in the presence of sulphuric acid and are resistant to most oils, fats, alcohols and petrol being suitable for use in contact with aliphatic hydrocarbons, but some petrol-based fuels containing benzene cause swelling.

7 PVC conduits are unsuitable for use in contact with aromatic and chlorinated hydrocarbons, ketones, nitro compounds, esters and cyclic ethers, which penetrate the PVC causing marked swelling and softening. These penetrating solvents may be harmful to PVC even when conduit is non- flame properties of PVCP hysical properties Molecular weight (resin)140,000 Relative - Water strength - 200C20kJ/m2 Impact strength - 00C8kJ/m2 Coefficient of properties Ultimate tensile strength52 MPaElongation at break50 - 80%Short term creep rupture44 MPaLong term creep rupture28 MPaElastic tensile - GPaElastic flexural - GPaLong term creep - GPaShear GPaBulk GPaPoisson s properties Dielectric strength (breakdown)14 - 20 kV/mmVolume resistivity2 x 10141 resistivity1013 x 10141/2 Dielectric constant (permittivity) ( )Dissipation factor (power factor) ( )
