FAQs

What does IP40 mean?

IP40 indicates the product is protected against solid objects larger than 1mm but offers no protection against water.

Can I bury this conduit?

While the conduit is designed for outdoor use, burying it directly may require additional protection and sealing to prevent water ingress. Consider using a specific underground-rated conduit if burying is necessary.

What tools do I need?

You will need a utility knife or cutting tool, a screwdriver, and potentially a measuring tape.

Are the cable glands waterproof?

The cable glands provide a degree of sealing, but the overall system's water resistance depends on the proper installation and any additional sealing measures you may take.

What is the maximum cable diameter?

The conduit is designed for cables up to 20mm in diameter.

How long is the conduit?

The conduit is 10 meters long.

What material is the conduit made from?

The conduit is made from durable polypropylene.

Troubleshooting

Cable gland doesn't fit the cable.

Ensure the cable diameter is within the gland's specifications. If the cable is too large, consider using a different gland.

Conduit is difficult to bend.

Apply gentle heat (e.g., from a hairdryer) to the conduit to make it more flexible. Avoid overheating.

Water enters the conduit.

Check and tighten the cable glands. If necessary, use additional sealant to ensure a watertight seal.

Cutting: Cut the conduit to the desired length using a utility knife or appropriate cutting tool.
Cable Insertion: Feed the cables through the conduit. Ensure that the cables are neatly arranged inside.
Gland Installation: Attach the cable glands to the conduit ends. Secure the glands with the provided nuts, ensuring a watertight seal.

Compatibility: This conduit is compatible with most standard electrical cables and CCTV cables. Always ensure the cable diameter is within the 20mm limit. The IP40 rating indicates protection against solid objects, making it suitable for outdoor environments.

Care: Regularly inspect the conduit for any signs of damage, such as cracks or splits. Check the cable glands for proper sealing. Clean the conduit with a damp cloth as needed, and avoid using harsh chemicals that could degrade the polypropylene material.
