Conduit & Fittings

Bore-Gard Trenchless Raceway

Bore-Gard by Prime Conduit is a heavy-wall PVC conduit system engineered specifically for horizontal directional drilling (HDD). Where standard PVC requires glued joints and HDPE on reels ovalizes, requires fusion equipment, and fights installation with coil memory, Bore-Gard ships in rigid 10-foot or 20-foot sticks with a watertight locking bell joint that assembles in under 15 seconds—no glue, no fusion, no special equipment. Available in Schedule 40 and Schedule 80 wall types. Galloway stocks Bore-Gard from Prime Conduit.

Features

Bore-Gard's features all support fewer machines, fewer people and fewer delays per bore. Rigid sticks that stay round, gasketed joints that lock by hand in seconds, and compatibility with the PVC fittings your crew already carries.

    No reel handling equipment required

    sticks can be unloaded by hand; no reel trailers, no return freight

  • check_circle

    PVC won't neck or stretch under pull tension like HDPE

    pipe breaks before it deforms, so failures are obvious during installation, not hidden

Ribbon - High Fiber Count Backbone & Trunk

Fujikura Ribbon Fiber Splicing kit 6-22-26-8089 Medium

 

  • For high-density backbone and trunk, hyperscale data center interconnect, and central office / carrier-hotel cabling

  • Fiber counts from 144 to 6,912+; outside diameter is critical for duct-fill calculations

  • Standard matrix, rollable, and intermittently bonded ribbon (IBR) constructions; rollable / IBR allows higher packing density in a smaller diameter

  • 12-fiber mass-fusion splicing dramatically reduces splice time vs. single-fiber splicing

  • Single jacket, double jacket, armored, or all-dielectric construction

Flat Drop - Last-Mile FTTH

  • Flat self-supporting design for last-mile drops to home or business---aerial self-support or direct-buried final span

  • 1, 2, 4, 6, and 12-fiber counts; G.657.A2 bend-tolerant fiber typical; compatible with standard wedge clamps and closure strain reliefs

  • Toneable (copper toner) variant locates buried drops after install without digging; all-dielectric version also available

  • MDPE outdoor jacket with flame-retardant option for indoor transition; pre-connectorized (OptiTap / hardened) or bulk reel; RUS (RDUS)-listed options available
