Rigid PVC-U Conduit — 20 to 50mm
Round conduit made from a specially formulated super high impact, self-extinguishing PVC-U compound. Every length is printed with the standard, size, gauge, compression class and country of origin, so what is on site can be checked against what was specified.

Gauges
Heavy gauge is the volume specification for the UAE and carries the 1250N compression classification — use it for cast-in, buried and any run at risk of mechanical damage. Medium and light gauge are available for surface work in protected environments. Heavy gauge is also the only gauge produced in the LSF compound.
Sizes and lengths
20mm, 25mm, 32mm, 38mm and 50mm outside diameter, supplied in 2.90m lengths. 20mm and 25mm are the mainstream sizes for lighting and small power; 32mm and above for sub-main, riser and feeder routes. Note the range uses 38mm, not 40mm.
Colours and ends
White, black and grey as standard — the colour code is appended to the product code, so AEKMCR6 becomes AEKMCR6WH in white and AEKMCR6BK in black. Plain end and socketed end patterns are both produced; the socketed end saves a coupler on every joint.
Certification
Conduit carrying the AEKM prefix is Kitemark certified under licence KM 818543 to BS EN IEC 61386-21. It is the only conduit product manufactured in the GCC region to carry the BSI Kitemark.
