The FPKu-EM-F-H0 32 from Fränkische Rohrwerke is a medium-sized plastic pipe made of polyphenylene ether (PPE), manufactured in the colour grey (RAL 7035). It is specifically designed for surface mounting in industrial and plant engineering as well as for standard surface applications. The pipe is supplied in rod lengths of 3 metres and features a one-sided formed socket, enabling simple and secure connection with other pipe sections. A central feature is the halogen-free composition, ensuring that no dangerous toxic or corrosive gases are released in the event of a fire. This enhances safety in use, particularly in enclosed spaces or critical installations.

Applications
The FPKu-EM-F-H0 32 is suitable for the installation of electrical wiring in areas where high fire protection requirements apply. It is used in industrial environments, production plants, buildings with enhanced safety requirements, and installations requiring functional integrity (E30, E60, E90). The system-tested designation means that the product, in combination with other components of the system, meets the required technical and safety standards. The application is carried out in the surface mounting area, i.e. mounted visibly on walls or ceilings.

Functions and equipment in detail
The pipe is non-flame propagating, meaning that it does not burn independently when in contact with a flame and does not propagate the flame. The one-sided formed socket simplifies installation, as it enables a mechanically stable connection between two pipe sections without requiring additional connectors. The grey colour (RAL 7035) is standard for industrial applications, as it integrates well into technical environments and is also highly visible.

Technology explained simply
The material PPE (polyphenylene ether) is characterised by high thermal resistance and mechanical strength. It is resistant to many chemicals and withstands mechanical stress. The minimum pressure resistance of 750 N/5 cm ensures that the pipe is not damaged under normal installation and operating conditions. The halogen-free property is certified according to DIN VDE V 0604-2-100, meaning that the product contains no halogen-containing compounds that could release harmful gases during a fire. The standards VDE 0605 and DIN EN 61386-22 define the requirements for the construction and electrical safety of pipe conduits.

Compatibility and accessories
The FPKu-EM-F-H0 32 is part of a system that has been tested for use in installations requiring functional integrity (E30, E60, E90). It can be combined with other components of the same system to ensure a complete and safety-compliant installation. The use in systems with functional integrity means that the wiring can continue to perform its function even in the event of a fire, which is important in critical installations such as emergency lighting, alarm systems or fire protection systems.

Installation and mounting
Mounting is carried out in the surface mounting area, with the pipe being laid along walls, ceilings or other visible surfaces. The one-sided formed socket allows for quick and secure connection between individual rod sections. Installation does not require special tools, although proper securing and connecting of the pipes is necessary to ensure mechanical stability and electrical safety.

Advantages in operation
The halogen-free composition provides a decisive advantage in terms of fire behaviour and user safety. In the event of a fire, no toxic gases are released, which facilitates evacuation and the work of emergency personnel. The non-flame propagating property reduces the risk of fire spreading. The high pressure resistance ensures a long service life and robust installation, even under mechanical stress. The system-tested use guarantees that the product, in combination with other components, meets the required safety standards.
