1. Protects cable:

• During shipment

• During installation

• During operation

2. Reduces labor costs by:

• Eliminating separate handling of both pipe

and wire

• Eliminating assembly of 20' conduit sections

• Eliminating pulling of wire into duct

3. Can eliminate need for special pulling equipment.

4. Helps reduce freight costs.

SIMpull ® CABLE-IN-CONDUIT

• Manufactured by continuously extruding HDPE loosely around the cable assembly with no

adhesion between the conduit and the cable, thus leaving the cables free in the conduit.

• Lubrication is applied to the cable, allowing for cables to be pulled out and replaced

if necessary.

• All cables are installed as single conductors or paralleled in HDPE conduit and are

available in Standard Wall, Schedule 40, Schedule 80, SDR 13.5, SDR 11, and SDR 17.

• 600 V, MV, Fiber, and Specialty Cables

• Available with UL marking on 3/4" through 3" Schedule 40 conduit

• Color options available: black, red, orange, gray. Striping is also available.

Watertight/Airtight Connection

Ability to Join Dissimilar Materials

Easy Installation

Custom Lengths and Non-Standard IPS Diameters Available

• The E-Loc Coupling is a compression coupling that provides a watertight/airtight connection

in buried, or restrained applications. The ability to join dissimilar materials, such as

PVC, HDPE, fiberglass, or metal, makes the E-Loc a versatile coupling for the telephone,

electrical, and cable industries. Patented.

• E-Loc Couplings are available to fit conduit sizes from 3/4" through 4". Easy to install

without the need for additional tools or equipment. Watertight to 200 psi restrained on

smooth wall conduit. Also seals on ribbed and corrugated duct. Custom lengths and

non-standard IPS diameters are available. Allows for transitions between different

materials with one coupling.

• E-Loc Transition Couplings have all the great features of an E-Loc Coupling while providing

a transition from one size conduit to another. This includes the ability to transition to

dissimilar materials such as PVC, HDPE, fiberglass, and metal. Allows for transitions

between different sizes and materials with one coupling.


• Can join ducts made from dissimilar materials

• Can withstand 200 psi restrained on smooth wall conduit

• Size range from 3/4" through 4"

• Transitions between sizes available

• No additional tooling required for installation

Locking Compression Coupling

No Special Tools Required

Sizes 3/4" to 2"

• The Double E-Loc is a locking compression coupling used to join smooth, ribbed,

corrugated or Figure 8 High Density Polyethylene (HDPE) conduit. The locking,

pressure-tight design makes the Double E-Loc an ideal coupling for pneumatic cable

placing applications when air and watertight integrity of the system is imperative.

Unmatched pressure ratings, pull-out resistance, no metal parts, and no special tools

make the Double E-Loc the preferred coupling. Lock rings specially designed to grip rigid

PVC and steel pipe are also available.

• Double E-Loc Transition Couplings have the same great features as the Double E-Loc

Couplings, but provide the ability to connect conduit of different sizes. Lock rings

designed to grip PVC and steel allow for a single coupling to transition to both a

dissimilar size and dissimilar material.


• Can withstand 200 psi internal pressure

• Provide pull-out resistance in excess of ASTM standards for HDPE

• Sizes from 3/4" to 2" available

• No additional tools required for installation

STANDARD SOUTHWIRE REEL DIMENSIONS AND WEIGHT CHART

1. IS IT UL LISTED?

HDPE made to ASTM and UL standards extruded over UL

cables are UL listed according to NEC® article 354 NUCC.

UL markings are available on Schedule 40 duct only and

are available upon request.

2. HOW IS IT TERMINATED?

SIMpull ® Cable-in-Conduit can be stubbed up directly into

pole bases, pull boxes, and transformer pads. If necessary,

compression or glue-on fittings are available.

3. WHAT CABLES ARE AVAILABLE PRE-INSTALLED?

We can extrude our duct over nearly all of the cables in

our catalog.

4. HOW MANY CABLES CAN I GET INSIDE?

Cable fill is limited to NEC® fill tables.

5. WHAT SIZES DOES IT COME IN?

SIMpull ® Cable-in-Conduit is currently available in 3/4" thru 3".

6. HOW FLEXIBLE IS IT?

Conduit bend radius is 10 times the OD of the duct, which

allows bends to be made that are similar to industry

sweep elbows. Conduit will easily follow contours of a

trench and be directed around obstacles.

7. CAN YOU USE IT IN COLD WEATHER?

While HDPE conduit stiffens in extreme cold, it remains

flexible for installation to temperatures of -25°C.

8. CAN YOU USE IT INDOORS?

No! Outdoor uses only.

9. HOW MUCH CAN I GET ON A REEL?

It depends on the size of the duct. For a general reference,

please see the chart on page 27 of this catalog.

10. DOES IT HAVE A MEMORY?

While CIC will lay nicely in a trench, the cut ends will

exhibit a slight bend. This bend is used as an advantage

during installation to create sweeps. The material will relax

over time to its original straight position.

11. CAN I GET EXACT LENGTHS?

Exact cut lengths are available from stocked master reels.

Most made to order custom configurations will have a

tolerance of 5-10%.

12. HOW CAN IT BE INSTALLED?

CIC can be installed in open trench, directionally bored, or

plowed into the ground.

13. WHAT COLORS ARE AVAILABLE?

Southwire® conduit is available in black, red, orange, and

grey. Striping is also available.

14. ARE THE REELS RETURNABLE?

Wood reels and steel-spoked reels are recyclable or

available for reel recovery through our partnership with

Sonoco. Recovery is subject to end-user location, condition,

and number of reels available for return. Please call your

sales rep for details.

15. CAN YOU PULL THE CONDUCTORS OUT AFTER THEY ARE INSTALLED?

Conductors are pre-lubed prior to extrusion and installed

loosely inside the conduit so that they are easily removed,

if needed.

16. CAN YOU INSTALL MV CABLES IN CIC?

Yes, medium voltage cables can be installed.

17. WHAT IS THE PROPER WAY TO EXPOSE THE CONDUCTORS?

Care needs to used when removing conduit so as not to

damage the conductors. Southwire recommends the use

of a pipe cutter to score the conduit deep enough that the

duct can be snapped off before completely cutting through

the plastic.

18. SHOULD HDPE DUCT BE PAID OFF THE TOP OR THE BOTTOM OF THE REEL?

It will depend on the method of installation. For open

trenches, pay off from the bottom of the reel. For plowed

installations, pay off from the top of the reel. For directional

boring, either method can be used. When pulling into a

vault, pay off from the top of the reel.

19. WHY DO I NEED TO CUT BOTH ENDS OF THE CABLE FREE?

The cable needs to be able to move freely inside the

conduit. If one side is tied, it may cause the conduit to

snake resulting in damage to the cable and/or conduit.

20. WHY IS THERE MORE CONDUIT THAN CABLE?

Due to the installation process there is approximately 1.5%

more conduit than cable. This is taken into account during

production and tagged reel lengths are based on the cable

installed. This excess duct is carried at the pay-off end of

the reel and should be taken into account when starting a

run. (A 600' run should have approximately a 9' length of

duct at the beginning end).
