XW 90° x 12° STANDARD RADIUS ELBOWS - BELOW GROUND

The XW (Extra Heavy Wall) Type Conduit is a top-tier choice for industrial environments and hazardous locations that demand exceptional durability, impact strength, and resistance to environmental wear. Specifically engineered for Class I, Division 2 hazardous locations, this conduit is ideal for installations where the highest level of protection is required against potential explosive atmospheres, severe impact conditions, and corrosive elements. XW conduit’s unique construction offers robust, long-lasting performance, even in some of the most challenging settings, making it a preferred choice in sectors like wastewater treatment and critical infrastructure utilities.

Designed for Tough Environments

XW conduit’s 0.250" wall thickness is engineered for extreme impact resistance, tested and shown capable of stopping a .45 caliber bullet from 20 feet away. This durability allows the XW conduit to meet and exceed NEC Article 355.10(F) standards, making it suitable for installations in areas susceptible to physical damage. The inside diameter (ID) sizing further enhances its rugged build, providing a seamless fit and accommodating additional layers of protective infrastructure when necessary. The added strength and rigidity make XW conduit a popular choice in environments requiring intensive physical protection.

Proven Corrosion Resistance

The XW conduit is frequently chosen for wastewater treatment facilities due to its high corrosion resistance. It’s also widely used by utility companies to protect fiber-optic cables in above-ground, exposed settings and under bridge installations, where environmental exposure demands materials that can withstand moisture, chemicals, and abrasive wear over time. In wastewater treatment plants, where conduits are exposed to moisture, chemicals, and corrosive substances, the XW conduit stands up to the test, maintaining structural integrity and long-term functionality, even under continuous exposure to corrosive agents.

With its Class I, Division 2 compliance, XW conduit provides the peace of mind that comes with meeting stringent safety requirements for hazardous environments. Class I, Division 2 locations, characterized by potential explosive atmospheres due to volatile substances like gases, vapors, or combustible liquids, require conduit solutions that can both prevent incidents and protect vital infrastructure under critical conditions. XW conduit delivers on both fronts, providing a protective barrier that reduces risks in these sensitive areas.

Straight Socket Connection 

All sizes of the XW conduit come standard with a Straight Socket connection, simplifying the installation process and ensuring a secure fit for consistent performance. This connection design enhances the conduit’s versatility across various industrial and utility applications, making it adaptable to different installation requirements and structural designs.

The XW conduit line includes specialized 90° x 12° standard radius elbows designed for below-ground applications. These elbows provide an efficient solution for directional changes in conduit routing, offering the same heavy-duty construction and protective qualities as the straight sections. Ideal for below-ground settings, these elbows maintain the structural integrity and impact resistance required for buried or embedded installations.
