The spiral conduit Pliospire PVC-12 from Ses-Sterling is a flexible protective conduit made of PVC, specifically developed for use in electrical and IT installations. It is used for mechanical and electrical protection of cables and wiring, particularly in areas where high flexibility and simultaneous protective function are required. The conduit is available in black and is packaged in a length of 25 meters, with a weight of 62 grams per meter. The total packaging weight is 1.55 kg.
Applications
The Pliospire PVC-12 is intended for use indoors, where cables and wiring must be protected against mechanical influences such as pressure, friction, or minor impact loads. It is particularly suitable for routing data and control lines in office buildings, industrial facilities, or building automation systems. Due to its flexible structure, it can also be used in tight or curved routing paths without damaging the cables. Typical use includes combination with cable trees, wiring connections, or during enclosure assembly.
Functions and Features in Detail
The protective conduit is made of spiral-structured PVC material, offering high flexibility and simultaneous stability. The spiral structure enables easy and smooth installation, while the cables inside the conduit are protected from external influences. The standard black color blends visually into many installation environments. The 25-meter packaging length provides sufficient material for typical installations without frequent connection points. The weight of 62 g per meter is low, facilitating handling and installation.
Technical Explanation
The protective conduit Pliospire PVC-12 is made of polyvinyl chloride (PVC), a thermoplastic polymer known for its mechanical strength, chemical resistance, and electrical insulation properties. The spiral construction allows the conduit to stretch and compress easily without losing its shape, enabling simple installation even in complex geometries. The PVC structure provides high protection against mechanical damage such as scratches or pressure, and protects the cables inside from external influences. The black color is not only visually discreet but also resistant to UV radiation and light aging, extending the conduit’s service life.
Compatibility and Accessories
The protective conduit is designed for cables with a diameter of 10 to 40 mm, making it suitable for a wide range of applications in electrical and IT technology. It can be combined with various cable types, including data cables, control lines, or power cables, as long as their diameter falls within the specified range. Use with cable trees, cable glands, or other mounting aids is possible, provided they are compatible with PVC material.
Installation and Mounting
Installation of the spiral conduit is performed by simply sliding it onto the cables to be protected. Due to its flexible structure, it can be routed around curves and tight radii without damaging the cables. Installation typically proceeds from one end to the other, with the conduit unfolding by itself. It is recommended not to overstretch the conduit to preserve its service life. Connecting multiple conduit sections can be done by overlapping or using special connector pieces, if available. No special tools are required, as the conduit can be installed manually.
Operational Advantages
The Pliospire PVC-12 provides reliable mechanical protection for cables and wiring, extending the service life of installed lines. Its high flexibility enables easy and fast installation, even in complex routing situations. The PVC structure is resistant to moisture, oil, and other chemical influences, increasing operational safety. The black color is discreet and blends into most installation environments. The 25-meter packaging length provides sufficient material for typical projects, minimizing the number of connection points. The low weight of 62 g per meter facilitates handling and installation, especially for longer routing runs.
