Protective pipe Q-Systems QRG 160/8.0 smooth blue with bell (160 mm, 8.0 m)

Q-Systems QRG 160/8.0 smooth blue protective pipe with bell is a rigid conduit designed for protection and routing of electrical, telecom and data cables. The pipe has an outer diameter of 160 mm and a length of 8.0 m, and features an integrated bell end to facilitate simple, secure coupling of sections. Its smooth internal bore reduces friction when pulling cables and its bright blue color makes it easy to identify in installation sites.

Advantages

The smooth bore and uniform wall thickness provide consistent mechanical protection while easing cable installation and maintenance. The integrated bell end enables quick, sealed connections between pipe sections without the need for additional adapters. Made for both underground and surface use, the pipe resists common mechanical stresses encountered during installation and operation and simplifies long cable runs due to its standard length.

Suitable for

• Protection and routing of electrical power cables
• Telecommunications and fiber-optic cable installations
• Data cabling for commercial and industrial sites
• Underground ducting and surface-mounted conduit runs

Key specifications

• Outer diameter: 160 mm
• Length: 8.0 m
• Type: smooth-walled conduit with integrated bell end
• Color: blue (for easy visual identification)
• Application: cable protection for electrical, telecom and data networks

How to use

Before installation, verify line route and ensure trench or mounting channel is prepared according to local regulations. Cut the pipe to required lengths if necessary and insert cable ducts or draw tape. Join consecutive sections by aligning the plain end into the bell end, ensuring a secure fit; use sealing or locking accessories where required by the project specification. When pulling cables, feed slowly and monitor for obstructions. Backfill or secure the installed conduit following recommended practices to avoid point loads or sharp impacts.

Usage recommendations

Store pipes horizontally on a flat surface to avoid deformation and protect ends from dirt before installation. Use appropriate couplings, seals or protective sleeves when an environmental or watertight connection is required. Follow local standards for minimum burial depth and mechanical protection when routing power or telecom lines.
