The FPKu-EM-F-UV 20 white from Fränkische Rohrwerke is a medium-sized plastic conduit made of modified PVC, specifically designed for surface mounting installations in outdoor environments and industrial facilities. The conduit is white in colour (RAL 9010) and features a one-sided formed socket, enabling simple and secure connection of conduit sections. The rods have a length of 2 metres and are packed in resealable cartons, facilitating transport and storage. The product is non-flame propagating and UV-stabilised, ensuring it can withstand up to 10 years of sunlight exposure without significant material degradation.

Applications

The FPKu-EM-F-UV 20 white is particularly suitable for installations outdoors, where high resistance to weather influences and UV radiation is required. It is frequently used in industrial facilities, where corrosion resistance against acids and alkalis is advantageous. The medium pressure resistance makes it suitable for applications where extreme mechanical loads do not occur, but sufficient stability is required. The use in outdoor environments is supported by UV stabilisation, ensuring long-term functionality.

Functions and Equipment in Detail

The conduit is made of modified PVC, offering good mechanical strength and chemical resistance. The one-sided formed socket allows for quick and secure connection between conduit sections without additional connection elements. The white colour (RAL 9010) ensures good visibility and fits into many industrial and outdoor installations. The non-flame propagating property increases safety during installation in areas with increased fire risk.

Technology Explained Simply

The UV stabilisation of the conduit prevents the material from discolouring or becoming brittle under prolonged sunlight exposure. The minimum pressure resistance of 750 N/5 cm, according to VDE 0605 DIN EN 61386-21, ensures that the conduit will not be damaged under normal operating loads. The corrosion resistance against acids and alkalis makes it particularly suitable for industrial environments where chemical influences may occur. The use of modified PVC ensures a balanced combination of strength, flexibility, and chemical resistance.

Compatibility and Accessories

The FPKu-EM-F-UV 20 white is designed for use with other components of the FPKu system. It can be combined with suitable bends, branch fittings, and couplings to realise complex installations. The one-sided formed socket enables easy connection with other conduit sections of the same type. Using it in combination with other FPKu products ensures consistent quality and compatibility.

Installation and Mounting

Installation is carried out in surface mounting areas, where the conduit is laid along walls or structures. The one-sided formed socket simplifies the connection of conduit sections, with the connection achieved by simply inserting the next conduit into the socket. The rod length of 2 metres enables efficient installation, while packaging in resealable cartons facilitates transport and on-site storage. The non-flame propagating property requires no additional fire protection measures during installation.

Operational Advantages

The FPKu-EM-F-UV 20 white offers high long-term stability due to UV stabilisation, lasting up to 10 years. The corrosion resistance against acids and alkalis ensures a long service life, especially in industrial environments. The medium pressure resistance is sufficient for most surface mounting installations and ensures safe laying. The use of modified PVC provides good mechanical strength and chemical resistance, increasing reliability in operation. The one-sided formed socket simplifies installation and reduces installation time.
