ConQuest ®
vs. Traditional PVC Stick Pipe
ConQuest Cable-in-Conduit Outperforms Traditional PVC Stick Pipe
ConQuest high-density polyethylene conduit with factory pre-assembled CommScope cables (CIC) out performs traditional
PVC stick pipe installations.
In Field Trials,
• A two-man installation crew was unable to
install 600 feet of 2” PVC stick pipe in a
trench, glue joints, install sweeps, blow pull
line, and pull cable in less than one hour.
• A two-man installation crew was able to install
600 feet of 2” ConQuest Cable-in-
Conduit in less than ten minutes.
NOTE: Time required to open and close the trench not
included
In Product Comparisons,
• PVC stick pipe is traditionally manufactured
in ten or twenty foot lengths that can be
difficult to transport or handle.
• PVC stick pipe requires substantially more
warehouse/yard space than HDPE on reels.
• Warehouse personnel must stock an assortment
of PVC stick pipe components, such
as sweeps, glues, preparation solvents, and
pull lines to ensure that projects can be completed.
