Organization: NEMA
Publication Date: 1 January 2013
Status: inactive
Page Count: 21
scope:

This standard covers several types of high-density polyethylene (HDPE) conduit for use in providing a protective raceway for electrical cables buried underground. The HDPE conduit types in this specification can be installed direct buried or concrete encased, they are:

EPEC-17- HDPE This type represents the nominal dimensions for HDPE conduit as specified by ASTM D 3035, SDR 17 and UL 651B or UL1990 for CIC.

EPEC-13.5- HDPE This type represents the nominal dimensions for HDPE conduit as specified by ASTM F 2160, SDR 13.5 and UL 651B or UL 1990 for CIC.

EPEC-40- HDPE This type represents the nominal dimensions for HDPE conduit as specified by ASTM F 2160, Schedule 40 and UL 651B or UL 1990 for CIC.

EPEC-80- HDPE This type represents the nominal dimensions for HDPE conduit as specified by ASTM F 2160, Schedule 80 and UL 651B or UL 1990 for CIC.

EPEC-11-HDPE This type represents the nominal dimensions for HDPE conduit as specified by ASTM F 2160, SDR 11 and is not currently covered by UL.

NOTE-The values stated in U.S. customary units are to be regarded as the standard.
