Champion
Haz Duct® XW Type Conduit
Product Overview
Under the National Electrical Code, Class I locations are areas where flammable gases or vapors may be present. Division 1 covers locations where ignitable concentrations exist under normal operating conditions; Division 2 covers locations where they occur only under abnormal conditions, such as a containment failure or ventilation fault.
Champion Haz Duct® XW Type has been certified since 2008 for use in Class I, Division 2 and Zone 1, Division 2 applications per the NEC, and is approved by the Canadian Electrical Code for Zone 1, Division 2 installations. It is not a Division 1 product, and specifying it accurately matters: within Division 2 boundaries it delivers a complete non-metallic hazardous location conduit solution for chemical plants, refineries, and mining operations, flame resistant, low-smoke, and corrosion-resistant across the widest range of chemical exposures in the Champion line. XW denotes Extra Heavy Wall, which is also specified where severe impact strength is required.
Code references: NEC Article 355 (Reinforced Thermosetting Resin Conduit); CEC Article 12-1200-1220 (Rigid RTRC Conduit).
With the widest range of corrosion resistance and superior impact resistance, Champion Haz Duct XW Type Fiberglass Conduit offers a complete non-metallic solution that is specially constructed to handle the demands of hazardous industrial environments. Champion Haz Duct is flame resistant with low-smoke characteristics, offering solid performance in even the most volatile surroundings.
