Cable conduits

Cable conduits are selected according to the route, cables and installation environment. Selection includes the conduit itself, its joints and fixings; plan them together for a consistent list for each section. Also mark where the route enters a box or transitions to another system. These points require checking the entire assembly, including installation access and compatibility of the connected parts.

Choose a format for the specific route

Browse corrugated conduits when comparing this format for the project, or continue to rigid conduits for the relevant straight elements. The decision follows the installation conditions, required space and documentation of the selected system. Do not reduce the comparison solely to material or colour. These designations help distinguish items, but their specific technical characteristics must be checked by series and reference.

Size has more than one role

Prepare the external dimensions and number of cables for the section. Check the conduit’s clear internal size and intended cable routing conditions. For joints and clips, compare the corresponding connection size. For example, with the exact SILCOR 1003016, the external diameter is 16 mm and the internal diameter is 13,8 mm. The example shows why the two quantities are considered separately; it does not determine the dimensions or characteristics of the other conduits in the category.

Joints, transitions and fixings

In conduit accessories , check the required couplers, adapters and clips. Record which accessory belongs to which series. For a transition to a box, identify both parts being connected. If the route changes conduit type, treat the assembly as a separate check. The number of supports and installation conditions are determined by the project and system instructions, not by resemblance between products.

Consider neighbouring solutions too

When the project calls for another cable routing method, compare cable trunking and accessories or cable trays and fixings. The required boxes are selected separately in mounting and junction boxes. Finally, compare lengths, accessories and packs by individual section. If combining several route types, return to cable routing and installation to arrange all related groups in one sequence.
