PVC power cable conduit with excellent cable routing and easy installation

Compatible with special high-voltage cable for renewable energy underground transmission.

6 advantages of SFVP®

Easy Cable Installation

  • High Bending Rigidity

    Reduces cable installing tension.

  • Larger Inner Diameter than Nominal Diameter

    More cables can be installed, achieving cost reduction.

  • Low Static Friction Coefficient

    Reduces cable installing tension.

Faster Installation

  • Lightweight Design

    Approximately 1/3 of the weight of conventional PVC pipe.
    Achieves labor-saving in transportation and installation.

  • No Bend Pipe Required

    Due to its high flexibility, no bend pipe is required.

  • Easy Length Adjustments

    Reduces installation time.

Easy Cable Installation High Bending Rigidity and Straightening Recovery Force
Prevents local bends and reduces cable installing tension.

SFVP is flexible enough for cable installation.


Easy Cable Installation Larger Inner Diameter than Nominal Diameter
Achieves cost reduction.

The large inner diameter (nominal diameter +10mm) reduces lateral pressure and tension calculation values.
