  • The lowest installation rates for most diameters according to the National Electrical Contractors Association (NECA) Manual of Labor Units.
  • Low burn through.
  • Ability to stand up to extreme conditions.
  • The broadest range of corrosion resistance of all in-market conduit products.
  • Shape retention after impact or compression.
