Iplex’s range of Electrical and Telecommunications PVC-U Conduits are designed to protect cables in a range of buried and above ground installations. PVC-U is the most commonly used material for electrical conduits due to its lightweight, ease of assembly and non-conductivity.
The delivery of conduit pipes, electrical pits and accessories as a package offers time and cost saving advantages for project managers and contractors. The Iplex range of PVC-U conduits are designed to protect and carry both fibre optic and other telecommunication cables in a wide range of buried and underground installations.
For trenchless or direct burial applications Iplex can supply polyethylene conduit in coils or large drums.

Standards and Approvals
Iplex Electrical and Telecommunications PVC-U Cable Conduits pipe is manufactured to the Australian Product Standard under a third-party accredited Quality Management System (QMS) complying with ISO 9001.
Referenced Australian electrical and telecommunications product standards include:
- AS/NZS 2053 (various parts)
- AS 4702
Colour and Markings
Australian Standard AS/NZS 2053 is silent with respect to the colour of electrical and communication conduits. AS/NZS 3000 nominates the use of orange conduits in buried electrical installations. AS 1345 and PIPA Guideline POP203 both provide guidance for the colour identification of pipes in a range of buried and above-ground applications.
| Colour | Application |
| Orange |
Electrical conduits installed below ground |
| Grey |

Environmental Credentials
Iplex PVC-U cable conduit pipe is certified to confirm to the Best Environmental Practice PVC (BEP PVC) provisions of AS/NZS 1260.
The Green Building Council of Australia (GCBA) has defined the standards for best practice environmental performance for PVC manufacturing, against which Iplex’s processes have been audited by an independent certifying body. These permit users of Iplex conduits to claim positive PVC Credit Points under the GBCA’s Green Star Rating Scheme. Learn More
Iplex Pipelines has published a verified Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) on our range of PVC-U Non-pressure Pipes and Polyethylene pipes. EPDs are third-party certified documents based on ISO 14025 and EN 15804 Standards that communicate transparent and comparable information about the life-cycle environmental impact of a product or service. Specifically, product declarations include information on the environmental impact of raw material acquisition, energy use and efficiency, the composition of materials and chemical substances, emissions to air, soil and water and waste generation.

Handling & Storage
Handling & Storage
During transportation, conduit must be supported in a secure manner to prevent damage. Storage areas provided for conduit shall-
(a) be a flat surface free of any sharp stone or projection, which may cause damage or localised deformation and
(b) be suitable for the use of the proposed loading and unloading without the risk of accidental damage
Storage outdoors may be extended by covering conduits and fittings with an appropriate material such as hessian or white 70% shade cloth. Black plastic sheeting may cause unacceptable heat build-up and should not be used.
