DOUBLE E-LOC &
DOUBLE E-LOC TRANSITION COUPLINGS

APPLICATIONS
DOUBLE E-LOC • The Double E-Loc is a locking compression coupling used to join smooth, ribbed,
COUPLINGS corrugated or Figure 8 High Density Polyethylene (HDPE) conduit. The locking,
pressure-tight design makes the Double E-Loc an ideal coupling for pneumatic cable
placing applications when air and watertight integrity of the system is imperative.
Unmatched pressure ratings, pull-out resistance, no metal parts, and no special tools
make the Double E-Loc the preferred coupling. Lock rings specially designed to grip rigid
PVC and steel pipe are also available.
• Double E-Loc Transition Couplings have the same great features as the Double E-Loc
Couplings, but provide the ability to connect conduit of different sizes. Lock rings
designed to grip PVC and steel allow for a single coupling to transition to both a
dissimilar size and dissimilar material.

BENEFITS OF CABLE-IN-CONDUIT
1.  Protects cable: 5. Allows for various installation methods which may
•  During shipment reduce installation and restoration costs.
•  During installation 6.  Can reduce replacement and upgrade costs.
•  During operation
7. HDPE conduit is flexible as opposed to rigid PVC pipe.
2. Reduces labor costs by:
8.  Available in various colors or stripes.
•  Eliminating separate handling of both pipe
and wire 9. Available in continuous lengths. See reel cart in
•  Eliminating assembly of 20' conduit sections back of this catalog.
•  Eliminating pulling of wire into duct Ask us if you don't see a cable you need in this catalog.
3.  Can eliminate need for special pulling equipment. Practically any cable Southwire manufactures can be
provided as a cable-in-conduit solution.
4.  Helps reduce freight costs.

DOUBLE E-LOC &
DOUBLE E-LOC TRANSITION COUPLINGS

APPLICATIONS
DOUBLE E-LOC • The Double E-Loc is a locking compression coupling used to join smooth, ribbed,
COUPLINGS corrugated or Figure 8 High Density Polyethylene (HDPE) conduit. The locking,
pressure-tight design makes the Double E-Loc an ideal coupling for pneumatic cable
placing applications when air and watertight integrity of the system is imperative.
Unmatched pressure ratings, pull-out resistance, no metal parts, and no special tools
make the Double E-Loc the preferred coupling. Lock rings specially designed to grip rigid
PVC and steel pipe are also available.
• Double E-Loc Transition Couplings have the same great features as the Double E-Loc
Couplings, but provide the ability to connect conduit of different sizes. Lock rings
designed to grip PVC and steel allow for a single coupling to transition to both a
dissimilar size and dissimilar material.

BENEFITS OF CABLE-IN-CONDUIT
1. Protects cable: 5. Allows for various installation methods which may
• During shipment reduce installation and restoration costs.
• During installation 6. Can reduce replacement and upgrade costs.
• During operation
7. HDPE conduit is flexible as opposed to rigid PVC pipe.
2. Reduces labor costs by:
8. Available in various colors or stripes.
• Eliminating separate handling of both pipe
and wire 9. Available in continuous lengths. See reel cart in
• Eliminating assembly of 20' conduit sections back of this catalog.
• Eliminating pulling of wire into duct Ask us if you don't see a cable you need in this catalog.
3. Can eliminate need for special pulling equipment. Practically any cable Southwire manufactures can be
provided as a cable-in-conduit solution.
4. Helps reduce freight costs.
