ASTRAL WIRE GUARD conduit pipes and fittings have

good impact strength, superior light proofness and
chemical resistance. It has high heat deflection
temperature and ductile behavior even at low
temperatures.
ASTRAL WIRE GUARDTM conduit is the lightest in weight
compared to other materials and usually lower in cost then
other terms of conduit. ASTRAL WIRE GUARDTM conduit is
available in three different wall thicknesses with the thinwall variety only suitable for embedded use in concrete
and heavier grades suitable for direct burial and exposed
work.
ASTRAL WIRE GUARDTM conduit pipes and fittings resists
moisture and many corrosive substances. Joints to fittings
are made with slip-on solvent welded connections, which
set up rapidly after assembly and attain full strength in
about few hours.

ADVANTAGES

ADVANTAGES
HIGH CORROSION RESISTANCE
ASTRAL WIRE GUARDTM is non-corrosive
by nature and are not attacked by
corrosive, salty atmosphere & excessive
humidity. They are immune to chemical
and galvanic corrosion. Hence they are
ideal electrical conduits.
FIRE RESISTANCE
ASTRAL WIRE GUARDTM do not support
combustion and when the source of
ignition is removed they are self
extinguishing.
CONDUCTIVITY
ASTRAL WIRE GUARDTM is non-conductor
of electricity. ASTRAL WIRE GUARDTM
conduit prevents electrical shocks.
Hence they are most suitable for
electrical conduits.
LIGHTWEIGHT
ASTRAL WIRE GUARDTM have low specific
gravity, which implies that it is much
lighter than the pipes made from more
traditional materials. ASTRAL Pipes are
therefore easier to handle. This result in
reduced transportation & installation
costs.
EASY WIRING
ASTRAL WIRE GUARDTM have smooth
interior walls which helps in reducing the
friction thus helping in easy wiring.
EASY INSTALLATION
ASTRAL WIRE GUARDTM can be shaped
and joined without difficulty.
ASTRAL WIRE GUARDTM Pipes are joined
by solvent cement, which is simpler,
cheaper & easier.

STRENGTH
ASTRAL WIRE GUARD TM have high
mechanical strength that is attested by
tests conduced as specified in IS 9537: 3.
Hence they can be used both in open /
surface and concealed installation.
NO MAINTENANCE
ASTRAL WIRE GUARDTM requires no
maintenance due to its excellent
weather protected properties.
DURABILITY
ASTRAL WIRE GUARD T M electrical
conduit pipes last for a lifetime.
VERSATILE AND ELEGANT
The physical properties of PVC allow
designers a high degree of freedom
while designing. Superior finished
pipes and fittings add a touch of
beauty to the buildings .
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT
PVC has a lower feedstock energy
especially compared to other polymers
and common building materials. It is
the least energy intensive of all
thermoplastics. In life cycle analysis
and independent studies, PVC's
environmental impact has been found
most favorable, so the more usage of
PVC will greatly help to keep our global
natural resources intake for longer
period of time. It is not polluting air,
water or land during manufacturing or
service life and can be recycled after
prolonged service life.

For each size of cable it is intended to use, obtain the appropriate factor from Table 4. Add all the cable factors so obtained and
compare with the conduit factor given in Table 5.
The conduit size which will satisfactorily accommodate the cables is that size having a factor equal to or exceeding the sum of the
cable factor.

EXPANSION AND CONTRACTION

USE OF EXPANSION JOINTS

In installations where the expected temperature variation
exceeds 25F expansion joints must be used. An expansion
joint consists of two tubes, one telescoping inside another.
When installing expansion joints alignment of the piston and
barrel is important. Straps should be placed approximately
one foot on either side of the joint to ensure that any
movement is directed squarely into the joint.
When expansion joints are required the following steps
should be followed :
1. DETERMINE NUMBER OF JOINTS REQUIRED :
Use the following formula to calculate the total expected
expansion in the run.
Total Expansion =

Total Temp.
Length of
Change F X Run Ft. X 0.36
10
X
100

The expansion joints should then be installed at even

intervals throughout the run.
Number of Joints = Total expansion
4
2. DETERMINE PISTON OPENING
The expansion joint must be installed to allow both
expansion and contraction of the conduit run. Because
installation temperatures may vary, the piston setting must
be determined. The correct piston opening is determined
using the following formula :
Piston (in) =
max temperature (F) - installing temperature (F) x 4
Temperature change (F)

Temperature Change in F

All conduit pipe and fittings expand and contract with

changes in temperature. All materials expansion and
contraction rates are represented by coefficients of thermal
expansion. A general rule of thumb is that for every 100F
temperature change in a 100 ft. run of PVC conduit; the
conduit will undergo 3.6" of expansion or contraction.

LOCATION OF EXPANSION JOINTS
Proper functioning of an expansion joint depends on three
procedures :
The correct placement of the expansion joint.
The proper installation of rigid PVC conduit and the
expansion joint.
The proper placement and fastening of support straps.
ONE EXPANSION JOINT
If only one expansion joint is needed between two boxes, the
barrel of the joint should be rigidly fastened close to the first
box. Rigid PVC conduit should then be loosely supported with
straps, allowing the conduit to move freely as it expands and
contracts.
TWO EXPANSION JOINTS
If two expansion joints are needed, the joints should be firmly
fastened back to back at the center of the run. Rigid PVC
conduit should be loosely supported with straps, allowing the
conduit to move freely as it expands and contracts.
TWO EXPANSION JOINTS (ALTERNATIVE)
Alternatively, the center of the run and the two expansion
joints (located at the boxes) should be rigidly fastened. All
other support straps should be loosely fastened.
THREE OR MORE EXPANSION JOINTS
If more than two joints are needed in a very long run, they
should be put in a series, one after the other. Each barrel
must be rigidly fastened while conduit is loosely supported
with straps allowing the conduit to move freely as it expands
and contracts. When installed in a series, each section acts
independently of the other.

Stack pipe lengths:
- either on a flat base or on level ground.

4. JOIN PIPE AND FITTINGS : Assemble pipe and fitting

socket till it contacts socket bottom. Hold pipe and fitting
together until the pipe does not back out. Remove
excessive cement from the exterior. A properly made joint
will show a continuous bead of cement around the
perimeter.

Ideally, stacks should contain one diameter pipe size

only. Where this is not possible, stack largest diameter
pipes at base of stack. Small pipes may be nested inside
larger pipes.
Store all materials in well ventilated, shady conditions.

GOOD SITE PRACTICE

HANDLING
Take all reasonable care when handling
ASTRAL WIRE GUARD pipes particularly in very cold
conditions when the impact strength of the material is

strong sunlight, cover the stack with opaque sheeting.

Store fittings under cover. Do not remove from cartons
or packaging until required.
Store solvent cement and cleaning fluid in a cool place
out of direct sunlight and away from any heat source.

Do not throw or drop pipes, or drag them along hard
surfaces.
In case of mechanical handling, use protective slings
and padded supports. Metal chains and hooks should
not make direct contact with the pipe.
ON-SITE STORAGE
ASTRAL WIRE GUARD Conduit pipe and fittings may
be stored indoors or outside. If stored outside, pipe and
fittings should be protected from direct exposure to
sunlight and pipe should be properly supported in
storage to prevent sagging or bending. Pipe should be

DO'S & DON'TS

DO'S
Always insist to use ASTRAL uPVC solvent cement for
making joints.
Cut the pipe straight, as improper cut may lead to
joint failure.
DON'TS
Do not insert the pipe into socket of fitting without
chamfering. This can disturbing while wire pulling.
Do not install pipeline without properly placed pipe
clips. This is required to ensure efficient working of
the system.
