2. HOW IS IT TERMINATED?
13. WHAT COLORS ARE AVAILABLE?
Southwire® conduit is available in black, red, orange, and
grey. Striping is also available.
SIMpull ® Cable-in-Conduit can be stubbed up directly into
pole bases, pull boxes, and transformer pads. If necessary,
compression or glue-on fittings are available.
3. WHAT CABLES ARE AVAILABLE PRE-INSTALLED?
14. ARE THE REELS RETURNABLE?

sales rep for details.
4. HOW MANY CABLES CAN I GET INSIDE?
Cable fill is limited to NEC fill tables.
®
5. WHAT SIZES DOES IT COME IN?
SIMpull ® Cable-in-Conduit is currently available in 3/4" thru 3".
6. HOW FLEXIBLE IS IT?
Conduit bend radius is 10 times the OD of the duct, which
allows bends to be made that are similar to industry
sweep elbows. Conduit will easily follow contours of a
trench and be directed around obstacles.
7. CAN YOU USE IT IN COLD WEATHER?
While HDPE conduit stiffens in extreme cold, it remains
flexible for installation to temperatures of -25°C.
8. CAN YOU USE IT INDOORS?
No! Outdoor uses only.
9. HOW MUCH CAN I GET ON A REEL?
15. CAN YOU PULL THE CONDUCTORS OUT AFTER
THEY ARE INSTALLED?
Conductors are pre-lubed prior to extrusion and installed
loosely inside the conduit so that they are easily removed,
if needed.
16. CAN YOU INSTALL MV CABLES IN CIC?
Yes, medium voltage cables can be installed.
17. WHAT IS THE PROPER WAY TO EXPOSE THE CONDUCTORS?
Care needs to used when removing conduit so as not to
damage the conductors. Southwire recommends the use
of a pipe cutter to score the conduit deep enough that the
duct can be snapped off before completely cutting through
the plastic.
18. SHOULD HDPE DUCT BE PAID OFF THE TOP OR THE
BOTTOM OF THE REEL?
It will depend on the method of installation. For open

While CIC will lay nicely in a trench, the cut ends will
exhibit a slight bend. This bend is used as an advantage

more conduit than cable. This is taken into account during
production and tagged reel lengths are based on the cable

corrugated or Figure 8 High Density Polyethylene (HDPE) conduit. The locking,
pressure-tight design makes the Double E-Loc an ideal coupling for pneumatic cable
placing applications when air and watertight integrity of the system is imperative.
Unmatched pressure ratings, pull-out resistance, no metal parts, and no special tools
make the Double E-Loc the preferred coupling. Lock rings specially designed to grip rigid
PVC and steel pipe are also available.
• Double E-Loc Transition Couplings have the same great features as the Double E-Loc

sales rep for details.
4. HOW MANY CABLES CAN I GET INSIDE?
Cable fill is limited to NEC fill tables.
®
5. WHAT SIZES DOES IT COME IN?
SIMpull ® Cable-in-Conduit is currently available in 3/4" thru 3".
6. HOW FLEXIBLE IS IT?
Conduit bend radius is 10 times the OD of the duct, which
allows bends to be made that are similar to industry
sweep elbows. Conduit will easily follow contours of a
trench and be directed around obstacles.
7. CAN YOU USE IT IN COLD WEATHER?
While HDPE conduit stiffens in extreme cold, it remains
flexible for installation to temperatures of -25°C.
8. CAN YOU USE IT INDOORS?
No! Outdoor uses only.
9. HOW MUCH CAN I GET ON A REEL?
15. CAN YOU PULL THE CONDUCTORS OUT AFTER
THEY ARE INSTALLED?
Conductors are pre-lubed prior to extrusion and installed
loosely inside the conduit so that they are easily removed,
if needed.
16. CAN YOU INSTALL MV CABLES IN CIC?
Yes, medium voltage cables can be installed.
17. WHAT IS THE PROPER WAY TO EXPOSE THE CONDUCTORS?
Care needs to used when removing conduit so as not to
damage the conductors. Southwire recommends the use
of a pipe cutter to score the conduit deep enough that the
duct can be snapped off before completely cutting through
the plastic.
18. SHOULD HDPE DUCT BE PAID OFF THE TOP OR THE
BOTTOM OF THE REEL?
It will depend on the method of installation. For open

APPLICATIONS
• The Double E-Loc is a locking compression coupling used to join smooth, ribbed,
DOUBLE E-LOC
COUPLINGS
corrugated or Figure 8 High Density Polyethylene (HDPE) conduit. The locking,
pressure-tight design makes the Double E-Loc an ideal coupling for pneumatic cable
placing applications when air and watertight integrity of the system is imperative.
Unmatched pressure ratings, pull-out resistance, no metal parts, and no special tools
make the Double E-Loc the preferred coupling. Lock rings specially designed to grip rigid
PVC and steel pipe are also available.
• Double E-Loc Transition Couplings have the same great features as the Double E-Loc
Couplings, but provide the ability to connect conduit of different sizes. Lock rings
designed to grip PVC and steel allow for a single coupling to transition to both a
dissimilar size and dissimilar material.

in buried, or restrained applications. The ability to join dissimilar materials, such as
PVC, HDPE, fiberglass, or metal, makes the E-Loc a versatile coupling for the telephone,
electrical, and cable industries. Patented.
• E-Loc Couplings are available to fit conduit sizes from 3/4" through 4". Easy to install
without the need for additional tools or equipment. Watertight to 200 psi restrained on
smooth wall conduit. Also seals on ribbed and corrugated duct. Custom lengths and
non-standard IPS diameters are available. Allows for transitions between different
materials with one coupling.
• E-Loc Transition Couplings have all the great features of an E-Loc Coupling while providing
a transition from one size conduit to another. This includes the ability to transition to
dissimilar materials such as PVC, HDPE, fiberglass, and metal. Allows for transitions
between different sizes and materials with one coupling.
