By comparison, we are in competition to rigid steel conduit, lighter and just as strong yet corrosion resistant.. Our system uses the bell glue joint system just like PVC so installation is the same. So were cheaper and lighter then steel but as easy to install as PVC.

Can it bend like pvc?

Seriously Ive been in this industry for over 30 years and never heard of fiberglass conduit. Maybe its a Euro thing but its not even mentioned in the NEC perhaps its considered RNT.

You have to heat it up to bend it, We bend to standards at the shop and ship it out. We also make a bullet resistant brand for under bridges so the rednecks can shoot holes in it.

If you Google 'fiberglass conduit' you can see a few of our competitors also.
