Conduit and duct both protect cable, but they are not the same product. Conduit is the smaller-bore raceway run through buildings and along routes to carry electrical wiring; duct is the larger, direct-burial pipe that houses power and telecom cables underground. 4B Factory manufactures uPVC duct to SAS 254/255 and PVC conduit to NEMA TC 2 in Al-Kharj. 4B Factory supplies both across Saudi Arabia.
The words are often used loosely, but the distinction is practical. Conduit is the raceway that protects and routes electrical wiring — typically smaller bore, run through buildings, along walls, or in shorter underground stretches. Duct is the larger pipe laid underground, usually in banks, to carry heavier power feeders and telecom cabling between points, and is built for direct burial.
On most projects you need both: conduit for the building and distribution wiring, duct for the underground power and telecom routes. Matching each to the right standard — NEMA TC 2 for conduit, SAS 254/255 for duct — is the core of specifying correctly.
Match the cable-protection job to the right product, standard and size. Confirm exact ratings against the product datasheet.
| Application | Product, Standard & Size |
|---|---|
| Building Electrical Wiring | PVC conduit · NEMA TC 2 · ½″–2″ |
| Distribution & Feeders | PVC conduit · NEMA TC 2 · 2″–6″ |
| Underground Power Duct | uPVC duct · SAS 254/255 · 20–63 mm · direct burial |
| Telecom & Fibre Ducting | uPVC duct · SAS 254/255 · direct burial |
| Duct Banks (Multi-Way) | uPVC duct · SAS 254/255 · laid in formation |
| Bends, Sweeps & Couplers | Fabricated / custom fittings · to conduit or duct spec |
NEMA TC 2 for PVC conduit, SAS 254/255 for uPVC duct — see PVC conduit and uPVC duct.
Size the bore to the cable count and diameter, allowing for pulling clearance and future capacity.
Underground duct must handle burial depth and traffic loading — direct-burial duct is built for it.
uPVC and PVC do not corrode, suiting Saudi saline ground and humid coastal conditions for buried runs.
Runs need sweeps, bends and couplers — fabricated to spec, see customized fittings.

Conduit is the smaller-bore raceway that protects and routes electrical wiring, often through buildings. Duct is the larger, direct-burial pipe that houses power and telecom cables underground. Most projects use both.
4B Factory manufactures PVC conduit to NEMA TC 2 (EPC 80-PVC) and uPVC duct to Saudi Standards SAS 254/255. Both are used for electrical and telecom cable protection across the Kingdom.
Size the bore to the number and diameter of cables, allowing clearance for pulling and future capacity. Conduit runs ½″–6″ and duct 20–63 mm; the exact size depends on the cable schedule.
Yes. uPVC duct to SAS 254/255 is designed for direct burial, carrying underground power and telecom cabling. It does not corrode, which suits Saudi ground conditions.
