PVCu Conduit from Centaur

Why use PVCu instead of traditional galvanized steel conduit?

Since its discovery in the first quarter of the last century polyvinyl chloride became an ideal synthetic material for use, amongst many other applications, for cable management solutions. Tough but lightweight, chemically resistant and easy to handle and install it has been found to be a suitable replacement for steel conduits in the majority of installations. Only in outdoor or particularly harsh environments would the steel systems be more suitable.

Manufactured in accordance to: BS 4607 Part 5; BSEN 50086-2-1 (1996); BSEN 61386-21 (2004) formerly BS 6099 and tested regularly to high quality standards during its UK manufacture, Centaur has invested in its own compound mixing facility to exercise complete control over the manufacturing process. By adding the correct proportions of impact modifiers, substances to improve resistance to braking or cracking and UV stabilisers, to prevent or slow degradation caused by exposure to ultraviolet radiation you can have complete confidence that Centaur conduits will provide adequate support for cables for many years. And as a thermoplastic polymer PVCu can be re-granulated at the product-end-of-life and used again on this or other applications.

The most common sizes are 20mm and 25mm diameter, these are available in light or heavy gauge options. Both fully comply with the British Standard impact resistance test but its the heavy gauge that is the most popular. Other available large conduit sizes are 32mm, 38mm and 50mm. As a UK based cable management company Centaur manufacture white conduit as standard as well as holding stock of black conduit, red conduit and grey. As a bespoke service Centaur can even colour match your company branding if needed, offering a large range of colour conduits.
