PRESS-FIT CONDUIT CONNECTIONS
It is reported by several top marketers that traditional electrical conduit can begin to
require service and replacement in as little as under a year from installation. The glues
used to make connections between each 10 foot stick of PVC often have a hard time
standing up to the harsh underground environment, eventually displaying leaks and water
intrusion into the delicate wiring system of an underground fuel system. With as much as
2 miles of conduit and a potential leak point every 10 ft, a conduit system that isn’t rock
solid can really drive up a marketer’s maintenance budget.
CABLETIGHT™
PRESS-FIT CONDUIT
The CableTight™ Wire Management
System now employs a new press-fit
connector to facilitate faster installation of
this truly watertight end-to-end solution for
electrical, sensor, and data wire conduit.
With continuous HDPE conduit runs of up
to 1,500 ft, CableTight™ eliminates buried
conduit joints that have been traditionally
made using threads, epoxy, or glue that
can be susceptible to leaking.
A FLEXIBLE SOLUTION
Both ¾" and 1" CableTight™ flexible conduit
is constructed of HDPE (high density polyethylene)
and is available in 1,000' or 1,500' reels that can
be easily transported and rolled out into long
continuous runs, free of joints.

HIGHLY DURABLE
The conduit’s flexible construction won’t crack
when bent during cold-weather installation or shatter
if accidentally struck by a tool or stepped on after
they’ve been laid out on a busy job site.

EASY INSTALL
The new press-fit connectors allow electrical
contractors to make conduit connections by hand
with no specialized tools, either to extend flexible
conduit runs or make watertight threaded connections
to metal conduit. The connectors can also be removed
and re-installed if an incorrect connection is made.
