General Description

Multi-Gard Fiberglass is a multi-cell raceway system for bridge crossing

applications consisting of 20' overall lengths of either standard wall, heavy wall
or bullet resistant 4" fiberglass outer shell with 3 x 1 1/2" or 4 x 1 1/4" nominal pre-

lubed innerducts preinstalled. In addition, fixed bends with "cutthrough" resistant
engineered plastic innerducts are available along with many other accessories
for terminating, cable pulling, and cable blowing.

Features

• Preinstalled silicone lined PVC innerducts reduce coefficient of friction for

easy cable pulling or jetting.

• Anti-reversing gaskets on coupling body allow easy push in hard to pull

out sealing system.

• Jettable using high-speed air blowing systems.

• Oring gasket at base of bell reduces risk of water entering system.

• Inward tapering holes on coupling body give quick and easy innerduct

alignment.

• Marked innerduct and marked hole on coupling body ensure proper

innerduct alignment.

• Couplings in standard and slip sleeve reduce waste.

• Transition adapters to allow transition between different outerducts.

• Deep bell provides strong joint.

• Internal spacers keep innerducts straight.

• Staging materials to job site is simplified.

• Standard Wall .070" provides basic mechanical and UV protection.

• Heavy Wall .090" provides enhanced mechanical protection where

physical abuse might be experienced.

• Bullet Resistant .250" provides heavy duty protection.

• Lightweight construction for easy handling.

Fiberglass Multi-Cell Fixed Bends with Bell

Multi-Gard fixed bends use the same coupling design as straight sections. All
bends are provided with engineered plastic innerducts to avoid rope cut-through
into adjacent innerducts.

Assembly Instructions

The Multi-Gard Fiberglass system is designed for easy assembly:

1. Place plain end of one 20' section into gasketed coupling body 1/2" to the
gasket depth of another 20' section.

2. Check for alignment and apply epoxy to outside of plain end.

3. Push sections together with a firm push by hand until plain end seats fully
into belled end.
