Flex tube: installation and practical tips
To ensure that the flexible pipe fulfills its protective function optimally, you should observe the following points:
Determine the route, bends, radii and laying depth in accordance with DIN VDE.
Select the diameter of the flexible conduit so that cables have sufficient space for movement but are not too loose.
Flex conduits are easy to bend and cut. Make sure that no sharp edges damage the pipe wall.
When laying above ground or in shafts, fix with pipe clamps. Stabilize underground with sand bedding.
Warning tapes or protective plates over the conduit prevent damage caused by earth movements or work in the surrounding area.
Lay cables safely and efficiently with our plastic flexible conduits. Whether in open-area PV systems, when laying underground, on industrial routes, in mechanical and plant engineering or in commercial vehicle infrastructure - our conduits offer optimum protection against moisture, pressure and temperature fluctuations.

Flexible pipe - Which size is the right one?
Choosing the right size of flexible conduit for open-area PV, underground installation, industrial routes and in mechanical and plant engineering is not based on standard diameters across the board, but on a project-specific basis depending on the cable assignment and fill level. Always allow for sufficient reserves and also take into account the required minimum bending radius, the planned pull-in length and the necessary ring stiffness.
For ground-mounted PV systems, dimension HDPE flexible conduits according to the specific route requirements: Variants with pull-in wire make long pull-in lengths and routes with several bends much easier. Professional installation is carried out with sand bedding, backfilling and compaction in layers and a warning tape above the route. Also make sure you use suitable sleeve and sealing systems in accordance with the required degree of protection.

Frequently asked questions about flexible pipes
For which applications is an HPDE flexible pipe suitable? ➕
HDPE corrugated conduits from EMC-direct are ideal for underground installations, e.g. in the ground, under roads or in open-air installations. They offer reliable protection for power and data cables in demanding environments. Not for permanent bending movements; instead PA/PP corrugated conduits, e.g. for machine/vehicle construction.
What advantages does the smooth inside of the conduits offer? ➕
The smooth inside allows cables to pass through smoothly, which makes installation easier and protects the cables from damage.
Are the flexible conduits UV-stable? ➕
Yes, EMC-direct offers UV-stable variants that are suitable for applications exposed to direct sunlight. These pipes are particularly durable and resistant to UV radiation. Standard HDPE without UV stabilizer is not permanently suitable for outdoor use.
Are there accessories for the flexible pipes? ➕
Yes, EMC-direct offers an extensive range of accessories such as connecting sleeves, sealing rings and fixing clamps to ensure safe and flexible installation. Accessories must match the pipe type/degree of protection.
Are there relevant standards/specifications? ➕
Plan/execute underground installation pipe systems in accordance with EN 61386-24; local civil engineering and utility company requirements also apply.
