Who Said Electricity and Water Don't Mix
Plastic Trends, an Industry leader in PVC Water and Sewer Fittings introduces PVC Electrical Conduit Fittings.

For more than 40 years Plastic Trends' name has been synonymous with unparalleled quality and service. Plastic Trends has the newest tooling and design to produce the industry's highest quality electrical fittings. The new electrical product line includes couplings, adapters, access fittings, cover plates, boxes, connectors, elbows, ENT, and more! These electrical fittings range in size from 1/2" - 6".

What is Cellular Core Technology?
Cellular core construction of PVC conduit & duct involves the simultaneous extrusion of three layers, all composed of the same high quality PVC resin. Co-extruded PVC plastic, with a cellular core center and concentric inner and outer solid layers, make up the conduit or duct walls. The PVC center layer contains a chemical blowing agent, introduced to expand the cell structure, thus removing density and weight from the conduit or duct. With the PVC skins arranged on either side of the cellular core, the radial force compression increases the strength. The end result is a lighter and higher quality, more cost-effective conduit or duct. Cellular core conduit products are available in Schedule 40, Schedule 80, and DB120. Schedule 40 & 80 meet the requirements of UL-651 NEMA TC2. Our DB120 meets the requirements of ASTM and NEMA TC-6 and TC-8 specifications. All of our cellular core conduit and duct products are rated for use with 90° C cable.

Currently in the PVC conduit & duct market, the majority of product sold is manufactured using solid wall technology. Solid wall PVC conduit & duct is manufactured with highly filled PVC resins, which may lower costs, but result in heavy, brittle and inconsistent product. In contrast, conduit & duct manufactured using the latest cellular core technology and prime PVC resin does not contain fillers. PVC cellular core conduit & duct products do meet or exceed all specified requirements and results in a higher, more cost efficient product.

PVC Cellular Core Conduit & Duct Products
New technology for the PVC Conduit and Duct market will bring value and cost effectiveness to the Electric Utility, Telecommunications and CATV industry.

Rocky Mountain Colby Pipe Co. is pleased to introduce its new line of PVC Cellular Core conduit & duct products to fill this need. These new product lines are available now, in sizes ½” through 8”, and in 10’ and 20’ lengths. These products are covered by one year limited warranty.

Rocky Mountain Colby Pipe CO. (RMCP) is the technology leader among North American plastic pipe extruders, in the highly specialized area of cellular core technology and production. RMCP has been involved in the cellular core process for over 35 years, and has been instrumental in converting the North American Plumbing markets, for DWV (drain, waste and vent) products, from solid wall to cellular core pipe.
