Project owners, engineers, and contractors have always been interested in saving money, streamlining installation, and ensuring long-term performance of all aspects of their projects. Fiberglass conduit is an important tool in their arsenal to accomplish these goals.

In head-to-head comparisons, Champion Fiberglass outperforms PVC-coated steel and galvanized rigid steel (GRC).

Champion fiberglass conduit has quickly become the choice of electrical engineers representing challenging applications such as wastewater treatment, pipelines, and data centers. When engineers need a high-quality, high-performing conduit without the high cost of other rigid conduit materials, Champion Fiberglass is the answer.

As labor costs rise, Champion Fiberglass conduit continues to contribute to savings. This lightweight-yet-strong conduit is less expensive to handle and transport, keeping manpower costs lower than those of other rigid conduit materials.

Every industry has its own electrical cabling challenges, from damp and caustic environments to a high occurrence of elbow burn through when pulling cable.

On time and under budget! That’s the dream scenario for any construction-related project. Electrical engineers can help a project reach this achievement by making one crucial decision – specifying Champion Fiberglass as the conduit of choice. When it comes to protecting electrical cables there are a number of different options available, but only Champion Fiberglass’ […]

We did the math—when comparing Champion Fiberglass conduit to GRC and PVC-coated steel, our expanded support spacing distances are just the beginning. Add on lower installation costs and the ease of use that comes with this lightweight-yet-strong product, and the savings continue to build. (Our Conduit Calculator is now available, allowing you to make your own project-specific comparisons.)

Champion Fiberglass has worked with Underwriters Laboratories (UL) to revisit requirements for longer support spacing distances for Champion Fiberglass conduit. In 2016, Champion Fiberglass submitted a petition to UL to support this suit; UL conducted extensive independent testing of Champion Fiberglass conduit products and found Champion Fiberglass to be the only fiberglass conduit manufacturer to have successfully proven their product meets all requirements for extended support spacing distances.

The updated UL Listings for Champion Fiberglass Duct® and Champion Fiberglass Haz Duct® conduits reflect extended support spacing distances, giving engineers another proof point when specifying Champion Fiberglass conduit.
