PVC DUCT PIPE SPECIFICATIONS

D56 Duct Pipe Specification for Saudi Arabia

Full technical dimensions, wall thickness, and length specifications for D56 uPVC duct pipe, manufactured by 4B Factory to British Standard BS 3506 for telecom, power, and fiber-optic cable protection projects across Saudi Arabia.

What Is D56 Duct Pipe?

D56 duct pipe is a small-bore unplasticized PVC (uPVC) duct manufactured to British Standard BS 3506, used to protect and route telecom, fiber-optic, and low-voltage power cables underground or within building risers. With a 56.5mm outside diameter, it is the compact companion size to 4B Factory’s D54 duct pipe, purpose-built for projects where cable bundles are smaller or routing space is limited.
Every D56 duct pipe leaving our Al-Kharj facility is produced to consistent wall thickness and outside-diameter tolerances, giving contractors, telecom operators, and infrastructure engineers a dependable fit with standard couplers, fittings, and duct-bank layouts used across Saudi Arabia.
