Peszel – An Indispensable Solution for Cable Protection

Peszel is a specialized protective conduit widely used in electrical installations. It protects wires and cables from mechanical damage, weather conditions, UV radiation, and moisture. Thanks to its design, it allows safe routing of cables in public buildings as well as in industrial, residential, or telecommunications installations. Cable conduits are extremely practical because they can be corrugated, which increases their flexibility and allows cables to be routed in hard-to-reach areas.

What is a peszel and what is it used for?

Peszel is a protective conduit made of plastic, usually resistant to external factors. Some types of peszle, such as self-extinguishing or specialized ones, are additionally resistant to high temperatures. Its main purpose is to protect electrical cables and wires against:

• mechanical damage during installation and operation,
• moisture and chemicals,
• UV radiation, which can cause material brittleness,
• fire – some peszle are self-extinguishing, and halogen-free versions additionally do not emit harmful gases when burned.

Thanks to cable conduits, cables can be safely routed through walls, floors, attics, or industrial installations while maintaining a high level of protection.

Types of cable conduits

The choice of the appropriate peszel depends on the purpose and installation conditions. The most commonly used types are:

1. Corrugated conduits – the most popular, flexible, and easy to bend in curves and hard-to-reach areas. They allow routing cables in wall and floor installations.

2. Smooth conduits – harder to bend, used in locations where higher mechanical protection is required while maintaining some flexibility.

3. Self-extinguishing conduits – used in installations requiring a high level of safety, e.g., in public buildings.

4. Halogen-free conduits – do not emit harmful gases when burned, increasing safety in case of fire.

Each of these types has specific applications depending on the type of cables, installation location, and project requirements.

Applications of conduits in electrical installations

Cable conduits are used in a wide range of applications:

• Residential installations – routing cables in walls, floors, and attics;
• Industrial installations – protecting cables from mechanical damage and chemical exposure;
• Telecommunication systems – routing telephone and data cables in conduits protects them from damage;
• Public buildings – using self-extinguishing conduits increases fire safety;
• Outdoor installations – conduits resistant to UV radiation and weather conditions protect cables in challenging environmental conditions.

Cable conduits allow convenient routing of cables in hard-to-reach areas, e.g., behind walls, under floor screeds, or in installation channels. Thanks to their design, they can be easily corrugated, enabling cables to be routed at angles and curves without the risk of damage.

Installation and use of conduits

Installing cable conduits is simple and quick. Pipes can be mounted on:

• walls, floors, or ceilings,
• attics, in installation channels,
• hard-to-reach areas requiring a high level of flexibility.

When routing cables, remember to:

• choose the appropriate conduit diameter for the number of cables,
• maintain the minimum bending radius of the conduit to avoid damaging cable insulation and ensure safe routing,
• protect conduit ends to prevent dust, moisture, or other contaminants from entering.

Corrugated conduits facilitate routing cables in curves and bends, while self-extinguishing and UV-resistant conduits provide safety in challenging conditions.

Protection of cables and wires

The main purpose of using cable conduits is to protect electrical wires against external and mechanical factors. Cables in conduits are protected from:

• impacts and mechanical damage during installation,
• moisture and dust, which can cause short circuits or corrosion of the wires,
• UV radiation, which degrades cable insulation in outdoor installations,
• chemical exposure in industrial environments and high temperatures for conduits designed for such conditions.

Using conduits significantly reduces the risk of installation failures or malfunctions and increases user safety and the durability of the entire electrical system.

Conduits in installation projects

When designing an electrical installation, conduits allow for planning cable routing safely and aesthetically. They can be used:

• under floors, before laying screeds,
• in walls and ceilings,
• in industrial installations where cables are exposed to mechanical and chemical factors.

Thanks to the different types of conduits, it is possible to choose the right peszel for the project’s needs, ensuring high reliability and durability of the installation.

Conclusion

Cable conduits are invaluable components of every electrical installation. They protect wires and cables from mechanical damage, moisture, UV radiation, and fire, ensuring the safety and reliability of the entire system. Corrugated pipes, self-extinguishing and UV-resistant, enable cable routing in hard-to-reach areas and in any conditions. Using conduits is key to a durable and safe electrical installation in residential, industrial, and public buildings alike.
