INTRODUCTION

TMASTRAL 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.TM

ASTRAL WIRE GUARD conduit is the lightest in weight

compared to other materials and usually lower in cost thenTMother terms of conduit. ASTRAL WIRE GUARD conduit is

available in three different wall thicknesses with the thin-

wall variety only suitable for embedded use in concrete

and heavier grades suitable for direct burial and exposed

work.TM

ASTRAL WIRE GUARD 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.

INTRODUCTION : COLOUR

ASTRAL WIRE GUARD electrical conduits are available in

Black Colour. Other colours are available on request.

Fire is one of the major hazards to life and property, and

electrical installations are perhaps one primary source of

generation and propagation of fire. Protection of cables

and raceways against fire is therefor an important and

primary consideration in the design and industry

standards.

ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT

TMASTRAL WIRE GUARD 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.

TMASTRAL WIRE GUARD requires no

maintenance due to its excellent

weather protected properties.

TMA ST RA L W IR E G UA RD e le ctr ica l

conduit pipes last for a lifetime.

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 .

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 analysisand 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.

EASY INSTALLATION

TMASTRAL WIRE GUARD 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.

TMASTRAL WIRE GUARD do not support

combustion and when the source of

ignition is removed they are self

extinguishing.

TMASTRAL WIRE GUARD is non-conductor

TMof electricity. ASTRAL WIRE GUARD

conduit prevents electrical shocks.

Hence they are most suitable for

electrical conduits.

TMASTRAL WIRE GUARD 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 & installationcosts.

TMASTRAL WIRE GUARD have smooth

interior walls which helps in reducing the

friction thus helping in easy wiring.

TMASTRAL WIRE GUARD can be shaped

and joined without difficulty.TM

ASTRAL WIRE GUARD Pipes are joined

by solvent cement, which is simpler,

cheaper & easier.

contraction rates are represented by coefficients of thermal

expansion. A general rule of thumb is that for every 100°Ftemperature change in a 100 ft. run of PVC conduit; the

conduit will undergo 3.6" of expansion or contraction.

EXPANSION AND CONTRACTION

USE OF EXPANSION JOINTS

In installations where the expected temperature variation

exceeds 25°F 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 anymovement is directed squarely into the joint.

LOCATION OF EXPANSION JOINTS

ONE EXPANSION JOINT

TWO EXPANSION JOINTS

Proper functioning of an expansion joint depends on threeprocedures :• 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.

If only one expansion joint is needed between two boxes, thebarrel of the joint should be rigidly fastened close to the firstbox. Rigid PVC conduit should then be loosely supported withstraps, allowing the conduit to move freely as it expands andcontracts.

If two expansion joints are needed, the joints should be firmly

fastened back to back at the center of the run. Rigid PVCconduit should be loosely supported with straps, allowing theconduit to move freely as it expands and contracts.

TWO EXPANSION JOINTS (ALTERNATIVE)

THREE OR MORE EXPANSION JOINTS

Alternatively, the center of the run and the two expansion joints (located at the boxes) should be rigidly fastened. Allother support straps should be loosely fastened.

If more than two joints are needed in a very long run, theyshould be put in a series, one after the other. Each barrelmust be rigidly fastened while conduit is loosely supportedwith straps allowing the conduit to move freely as it expandsand contracts. When installed in a series, each section actsindependently of the other.

When expansion joints are required the following steps

should be followed :

Use the following formula to calculate the total expected

expansion in the run.

Total Expansion =

The expansion joints should then be installed at even

intervals throughout the run.

Number of Joints = Total expansion

4

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

stored at the job site on level ground in the unit package

(skids) provided by the supplier. Caution must be

exercised to avoid compression, damage or

deformation. When unit packages are stacked, care must

be used to ensure that the weight of the upper unit dose

not cause deformation to pipe in the lower units.

ASTRAL WIRE GUARD™ pipe must not be stored in tightly

enclosed areas subject to elevated temperatures. or

close to heat producing sources such as boilers, heaters,

steam lines, engine exhaust etc. Exposure to excessive

temperatures will result in distortion and deformation of

pipe.

Stack pipe lengths:

- either on a flat base or on level ground.

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.

If stored in the open for long periods or exposed tostrong 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.

4. JOIN PIPE AND FITTINGS :

Cut pipe square. As joints are sealed at the

base of the fitting socket. An angled cut may result in jointfailure.

Remove all burr from inside

and outside of pipe with a knife-edge file, or deburring

tool. Chamfer (bevel) the end of the pipe 10° -15°

Remove surface dirt, grease, or moisture with a

clean dry cloth.

Apply a full even layer of cement to the outside

of a pipe and medium layer of cement to the inside of a

fitting.

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.

DO'S & DON'TS

DO'S

•

•

DON'TS

•

•

Always insist to use ASTRAL uPVC solvent cement for

making joints.

Cut the pipe straight, as improper cut may lead to

joint failure.

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.

•

ON-SITE STORAGE

•

Take all reasonable care when handling

ASTRAL WIRE GUARD™ pipes particularly in very cold

conditions when the impact strength of the material is

reduced.

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.

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
