Versatile

• Comes in three wall thicknesses, (.070”, .096”, and .250”)
• Bullet resistant (.250” wall), withstands most types of ammunition cost-efficient replacement for steel in many high-risk applications

Rugged

• Highest strength-to-weight ratio of any conduit material available
• High impact resistant construction easily withstands rough handling in the field
• UV resistant

Lightweight

• Workers can easily lift and carry sections, making it easy to handle
• Reduces worker fatigue

Economical to install

• Lighter weight and high strength simplify installation, eliminate the need for expensive lifting equipment and reduce the quantity of support hardware, such as bridge hangers, by as much as 50%
• Also reduces bridge permitting costs when the permits are based on weight

Easy to install

• To join sections, a simple push and twist motion is all that’s required
• Inner duct alignment is simple and secure, due to the same anti-reversing, gasketed coupling system used in PVC Opti-Com®

Non-corrosive

• Highly resistant to corrosive road chemicals, salt, bacteria, weather conditions, and ultra-violet decomposition

Long service life

• Adhesive-bondable male and female ends assure a permanent, watertight seal
• Fiberglass material is essentially inert; it will not corrode, deteriorate or decompose

Wide service-temperature range

• Remains stable and rigid from -40˚ to +230˚ F
• Will not become brittle in extreme cold or deform in heat generated by short-term electrical overloads
• Expansion and contraction forces are minimal

Non-conductive

• Due to the non-metallic material properties of fiberglass, damaging electrolysis will not occur
• Non-conductivity also eliminated the need for expensive, insulated bridge hangers

Full System Configuration

• Available with a complete line of factory bends, expansion joints and bridge hangers to accommodate virtually any installation requirement

Outer Duct Specifications

*Please note the change in Heavy Wall thickness, from .090” to .096”.

Fiberglass Opti-Com® comes in 20-foot overall lengths with a 60-inch Integral bell end on one end and matching inner and outer duct spigots on the other end. Standard fiberglass outer duct color is black. Fiberglass outer ducts can be manufactured in other colors, such as orange, to identify fiber optic cables.
