MULTI-GARD® PVC RACEWAY

Gross Automation [phone] · www.carlonsales.com · [e-mail]

MultiGard PVC is a multi-cell raceway system for direct burial and concrete

encasement applications. 20' lay length sections of 4" PVC outer shell Type
C, Type 40, or Type 80 have either 3 x 1-1/2" or 4 x 1-1/4" nominal prelubed
PVC innerducts preinstalled.

In addition, all fixed and patented flexible bends utilize "cutthrough"
resistant engineered plastic innerducts" Many other accessories for
terminating, pulling cable, jetting cable, and directional boring are
available.

Features:

• Prelubricated innerducts provide very low coefficient of friction for easy

pulls, and PVC innerducts expand and contract at the same rate as
outerduct.

• Anti-reversing gaskets on coupling body allow for easy joining. Eliminates

need for cementing joints except in boring or jetting applications.

• Jettable using high speed air blowing systems.

• O-ring gasket at base of bell reduces risk of water entering system.

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

alignment.

• Print line on outer duct states "Install Print Line Up" to keep system

straight during installation.

• Marked innerduct and marked hole on coupling body ensure proper

innerduct alignment and allow crews to work from opposite directions.

• Terminators for standard, pullthrough, and jetthrough applications.

• Standard and slip sleeve couplings for field cuts and repairs.

• Field repair kit for outershell and innerducts allows repair without taking

cable out of service.

• Transition adaptors allow transition between different outerducts.

• 6" deep bell provides strong joint for field bends.

• Internal spacers maintain straight innerduct path.

• End caps are provided on each 20 ft" section.

• Staging materials to job site is simplified.

• Patented flexible bends allow changes in direction.

Multi-Gard Type C and Type 40 are U.L. listed

Accessories

Terminators PVC Multi-Cell

Termination kits allow for sealing inner and outerducts. Each kit contains
innerduct sealing plugs with rope tie. Standard terminators allow for end
terminations, and passs-through (jet-through) terminators allow for bridging
innerducts across a vault to allow for unassisted pulling (or jetting) of cable
through the vault. Box terminators allow end terminations into aboveground
cabinets.
