Residential exposed electrical conduit refers to a wire and conduit system installed outside a residence and directly exposed to the natural environment. These conduits are mainly used to lay wires and cables and connect the power supply and communication systems inside the residence.
Features and requirements
The characteristics and requirements of residential exposed electrical conduit mainly include the following aspects:
1. Environmental adaptability: Since these conduits are exposed to the natural environment, they need to have high weather resistance and anti-aging capabilities to cope with various climatic conditions, such as high temperature, low temperature, rain, snow, and ultraviolet rays.
2. Mechanical strength: Exposed conduits need to withstand greater external pressure and extrusion, so their materials need to have high mechanical strength and pressure resistance.
3. Corrosion resistance: Since they are exposed to the outside, exposed conduits need to have good corrosion resistance to resist the erosion of chemicals and corrosive substances.
4. Installation and maintenance: The installation and maintenance of exposed conduits need to consider more factors, such as waterproofing, lightning protection, and anti-theft, so the difficulty of installation and maintenance is relatively large.
Application areas
Specific examples and application scenarios include:
Community power distribution system: the setting of community power distribution station, power distribution room and strong current well, as well as the power supply mode of the power distribution station and the setting of power distribution facilities.
Weak current system: Indoor and outdoor weak current pipeline system consisting of weak current pipelines, weak current wire troughs and weak current wells.
These examples and application scenarios show the wide application and importance of residential exposed electrical pipelines in actual construction and life.
How to choose a suitable Residential exposed electrical conduit?
When choosing a Residential exposed electrical conduit, factors such as material, size, and protection need to be considered. Specifically, it is best to choose a material with weather resistance and toughness, a pipe that meets standard sizes, and ensure that it has sufficient waterproof, anti-corrosion, and sun protection capabilities.
1. Material
The materials of Residential exposed electrical conduit are usually PVC, PE, ABS, and PC, among which PVC is the most common one. When choosing a material, it is recommended to choose a material with weather resistance and toughness. For example, uv resistant pvc pipe, which has weather resistance and good impact resistance, is not easy to age and crack, and is also UV-resistant, suitable for outdoor environment laying.
2. Size
The size of the Residential exposed electrical conduit needs to be selected according to the specifications of the laid wires to ensure that the wires can pass through easily after the pipe is installed in place and will not get stuck. In addition, the appropriate pipe length needs to be selected according to the length and route of the wires.
3. Protection
Residential exposed electrical conduit needs to have sufficient waterproof, anti-corrosion, and sun protection capabilities. The outdoor environment is harsh and may be affected by factors such as heavy rain, snow, and strong ultraviolet radiation. It is necessary to choose a wire conduit with good protection characteristics. At the same time, in order to improve the safety and stability of the wires, the inside of the conduit should be as flat as possible, without raised corners or other sharp objects to avoid damage to the wires.
