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.)
