Product Overview
Champion Fiberglass Elbows are being used in more applications than ever – utilities, data centers and wastewater treatment plants, to name a few. Ideal for electrical conduit sweeps, a low coefficient of friction and a single circuit winding process keeps cables from burning through fiberglass conduit elbows and damaging the cable. They’re also lightweight and easy to install. According to NECA, fiberglass installation labor time is a fraction of what it is for galvanized rigid steel or PVC coated – especially for jobs with fiberglass conduit sweeps at larger diameters.
Champion Fiberglass Elbows Advantages
In addition to their light weight, low coefficient of friction, and low burn through, Champion Elbows offer the following benefits:
- Easy installation; when ordered with two deep socket PVC couplings, the fiberglass elbows are easily glued in place using PVC glue.
- Excellent insulation; because fiberglass conduit is non-conductive, grounding bushings and exothermic grounding are not required for protection during a cable fault.
- Handles low temperatures; fiberglass maintains its mechanical properties to -60°F.
- Cost effective; comparable installed elbows give Champion Fiberglass elbows the price advantage.
