PVC conduits, also known as Poly Vinyl Chloride conduits, are a popular choice for protecting electrical wires in residential and commercial buildings. Essentially hollow in the inside the conduit tubes are lightweight and come in various diameter and are easier to install compared to metal conduit options.

Marshall-Tufflex, UK’s leading manufacturer of cable management solutions, offer a wide range of PVC-U conduit and trunking systems that are recognized for their quality, consistency, reliability and innovation. Their market-leading conduits and trunking solutions are completely reliable to protect electrical wiring installations in both new and refurbishment projects.

Here are some properties of Tufflex conduits that make them a preferred choice for safe, professional and cost-effective cabling protection and routing solutions.

Superior grade material

PVC-U conduits are manufactured with high impact PVC-U grade material that can withstand the most hazardous conditions on site. The conduit materials are also UV-tested and rated. This exceeds the most stringent requirements of the British Standards.

Flame retardant properties

Tufflex offers a high-quality range of LSF (Low Smoke & Fume) conduit and accessories, that ensure the emission of smoke and fumes are much lower in the event of fire. The conduits have both flame retardant and self-extinguishing properties making them the best choice for installations in public places.

Recyclable material

Marshall Tufflex cable management products are manufactured using at least 50% recycled materials. Moreover, some of the conduit’s offerings are regularly manufactured using between 80 -100% recycled material making them a sustainable addition to any infrastructure.

The benefits of PVC Conduits

Cost-effective: The best part is that PVC conduits are generally cheaper than metal conduits.

Durability: PVC conduits are resistant to corrosion, rust, and chemicals, making them ideal for wet locations or underground use.

Insulation: They are excellent electrical insulators, protecting wires from short circuits.

Fire safety: Most PVC conduits are self-extinguishing, meaning they won’t contribute to a fire.

Ease of installation: The conduits can be easily cut, drilled, and glued using solvent cement, making them relatively easy to work with.

Applications:

PVC conduits are widely used for routing electrical cable/wires in walls, ceilings and floors, be it for new construction, refurbishment and maintenance projects. The conduits can be installed in underground and wet locations where electrical cables need to be protected. Because it’s UV tested and rated, it can also be used in locations exposed to UV rays. The electrical wires/cables mostly include telecommunication and data cables and wiring for HVAC systems.
