[RE-wrenches] FRE Composites instead of rigid conduit

[Dana]

Paul -

 

Is it UL listed?

 

Is it approved for direct sunlight? 

 

Is it NEC approved?

 

Fiberglass has not had a good reputation in direct sunlight in my
experience.

 

I am curious mostly as to its approvals.

Subject: [RE-wrenches] FRE Composites instead of rigid conduit

 

Esteemed RE-Wrenches:

 

Have any of you had experience with using fiberglass reinforced epoxy
conduit manufactured by FRE Composites (Quebec, Canada) instead of rigid
conduit on the roof?  I am concerned about the manufacturer's claim that the
FRE conduit UV resistance is adequate for rooftop PV installations here in
Massachusetts.

 

Thanks,

 

Paul Lyons, P.E.
