Overview of Sealtite CNP Conduits
Sealtite CNP conduits are all-plastic, nylon-reinforced PVC conduits designed for robust, abrasion-resistant applications. They are UL and CSA approved (type A) and suitable for heavy-duty environments with frequent movement. Typical applications include rail signaling systems, trains, paper industry, steelworks, and food industry installations, especially for export outside Europe.
Material and Construction
- Core: Thick smooth thermoplastic PVC compound.
- Reinforcement: Braided nylon.
- Cover: Thick smooth thermoplastic PVC compound, lead-free (RoHS compliant), nylon reinforced, smooth inside and outside.
- Properties: Sunlight and UV resistant, oil and grease resistant, suitable for outdoor installation.
Temperature Range
- Standard: -20 °C to +60 °C, intermittent up to +80 °C.
- CSA: -18 °C to +75 °C.
Classification (NEN-EN-IEC 61386)
- Compression resistance: Class 1 (Very light, 125 N).
- Impact resistance: Class 3 (Medium, 2 J).
- Tensile strength: Class 4 (Heavy, 1000 N).
- Protection class: IP 67 (dust-proof, watertight).
Color Variants
- Orange (standard).
- Grey (alternative available).
Dimensions and Specifications
Sealtite CNP conduits are available in sizes from 3/8" to 2" with corresponding inside and outside diameters, bending radii (static and dynamic), and weights ranging approximately from 0.053 to 0.15 kg/m. Packaging options include standard cartons, small cartons, and reels with varying lengths.
Fittings for Sealtite CNP
Galvanised Steel NPT Fittings

Best Practices and Recommendations
- Use Sealtite CNP conduits in environments requiring abrasion resistance and frequent movement.
- Choose color variant (orange or grey) based on application and visibility requirements.
- Ensure fittings match conduit size and thread type (NPT or ISO) for proper sealing and protection.
- For sanitary or corrosion-sensitive environments, prefer stainless steel fittings.
- Observe temperature limits to maintain conduit and fitting integrity.
- Follow packaging and handling guidelines to avoid damage during installation.
For detailed fitting options and installation instructions, refer to pages 8-04 and 8-05 of the original documentation.
