Conduits protect electrical cables in residential and commercial settings, so choosing the right conduit type is crucial for durability and safety. Both underground orange conduits and grey above-ground conduits are UV stabilised to enhance longevity.
- Orange Conduits: Designed for underground use, these conduits resist moisture, soil acidity, and mechanical impact. Their bright orange colour aids visibility during excavation and maintenance. UV stabilisation protects against sunlight exposure during installation or repairs, preventing brittleness and cracking.
- Grey Conduits: Typically used above ground or on building exteriors, grey conduits face direct sunlight, rain, and temperature changes. UV stabilisation prevents colour fading, surface chalking, and structural damage. The grey colour matches most building exteriors and complies with regulatory standards.
Using UV-stabilised conduits ensures strength, safety, and extended lifespan of the electrical installation. Always confirm conduit compliance with local standards and environment-specific ratings.
