The Ultimate Made-in-Canada Conduit Pipe

It’s lightweight, durable, temperature-resilient, and even made in Canada. PowerGuard Flex HDPE pipe is Ontario’s next-generation electrical conduit, the flexible backbone your projects have needed.


PowerGuard Flex is a problem solver engineered for the extremes of Canadian infrastructure. Whether you’re trenching a new duct bank or encasing medium-voltage lines in concrete, PowerGuard Flex is built to stand up to tough conditions and tight deadlines.


Made from high-density polyethylene (HDPE) and manufactured with a minimum cell classification of PE334420C or E (ASTM D3350), this 103 mm (4") flexible conduit withstands Ontario’s harsh cold temperatures of -40°C. 


It can also withstand heat up to 82°C and anything that high-voltage projects require. That means your power grid installations don’t get sidelined by temperature swings or the aging brittleness that plagues PVC pipe.

There’s No Comparison Between HDPE and PVC

While Type DBII PVC conduit is a long-time staple among contractors, PowerGuard Flex has the equivalent strength, weighing up to 40% less and many other benefits:


Bends, not breaks

Thanks to its corrugated outer layer, PowerGuard Flex can bend around unexpected ground obstructions with ease, which eliminates the need for manufactured and time-consuming bends.


Shifts with the soil

When frost heave or settling occurs here in Ontario, HDPE’s ductility keeps your system intact, reducing future maintenance costs.


Lengths up to 365.8 m (1,200 ft.)

PowerGuard Flex reduces the number of joints and eliminates the need for excess labour. The lengths arrive ready to use on convenient 300 ft coils and 1,200 ft reels.


Lower installation temperatures

PVC gets brittle in the cold, while HDPE can flex even in frigid Ontario environments.

Conduit Installation Made Easy With PowerGuard Flex

PowerGuard Flex makes installation easy with direct-bury, plow, and concrete encasement options. It’s also CSA C22.2 No. 327 certified for electrical applications, making it the best choice for high-voltage power distribution and electrical duct banks.


Plus, PowerGuard Flex uses SILICORE ULF, an ultra-low friction lining co-extruded inside the conduit wall. This innovation reduces friction by up to 60% compared to standard HDPE, enabling your cables to glide effortlessly over longer distances without the need for messy lubricants.
