Design performance and quality control always have been, and always will be, our number one priority. At FRE Composites, we have the experience, having manufactured our first fiberglass products as far back as Today, the company has skilled and experienced workforce operating two (2) plants and exporting product to numerous countries worldwide. Currently, FRE Composites is focused exclusively on the design, engineering and production of composite filament-wound fiberglass conduit products and accessories. However, in addition to core products serving electric, telecom, water and wastewater utilities, and transportation industries, FRE Composites has engineered and produced highly specialized products for use in space exploration made from carbon fibers and other exotic materials, such as rocket launch tubes and the main structure of the CANADARM robotic arm, which is used by NAA s pace huttle to manipulate payloads in space. The CANADARM was also used to assist in the construction of the nternational pace tation, and in 2005, a CANADARM system attached to the nternational pace tation successfully assisted in the first in-orbit repair of the pace huttle Discovery. Our 100,000 sq.ft. plant in Canada and our 50,000 sq. ft. plant in the United tates have the capacity to accommodate high production requirements while maintaining substantial flexibility to foster to our growing customer base needs. Although we are the only source of FRE trademarked conduit, it s no secret that we are not the only suppliers of fiberglass conduit in North America.

6 FRE_11400_Breathsaver Catalogue_FRE_11400_Breathsaver Catalogue :19 AM Page 6 hy should you consider using Breathaver conduit? Phenolic conduit offers many advantages over other commonly used conduit, such as steel and PVC, as listed below: LO MOKE, NO FLAME, LO TOXCTY: Breathaver conduit has a very low moke Optical Density of 4 minutes per ATM E662. t offers an outstanding flame resistance as it actually complies with the requirements of NFPA 130 (932 F or 500 C for 1 hour without self-supporting combustion). t a go has a Flame pread ndex of 2 when tested under radiant heat (ATM E162) a flame spread of 15 or Class 1 fire rated (ATM E84). Unlike PVC, Breathaver is low halogen and does not release bromine or chlorine. Breathaver is a unique conduit system when it comes to toxicity (MP 800C). t is the right choice. TEMPERATURE RANGE: Breathaver Conduit can withstand a wide array of temperature ranging from -40 F to 525 F (-40 C to 274 C). Unlike PVC which is malleable in heat, Breathaver Conduit maintains its unique characterics. EAE OF AEMBLY: Phenolic fiberglass conduit is easy to install, partly resulting from its light weight, which facilitates handling. Fitting sections together using the push-fit spigot and bell design further facilitates assembly. Breathaver conduit is joined with the use of an adhesive. LGHTEGHT: Phenolic fiberglass conduit weighs considerably less than PVC or steel, resulting in cost savings through reduced handling time, reduced assembly time, reduced requirements for mechanized handling, reduced freight charges, reduced system weight, and lower costs of support. By way of example, 2 (53 mm) Breathaver conduit weighs 34 pounds (15 kg) per 100 ft (30 m), compared with 71 (32 kg) to 100 pounds (45 kg) for an identical length of PVC conduit, or about 330 pounds (150 kg) for a conduit made of steel. One hundred ft. of 4 (103 mm) Breathaver conduit weighs in at 76 pounds (34 kg), compared with 236 pounds (107 kg) (chedule 40) to 286 pounds (130 kg) (chedule 80) for PVC and almost pounds (454 kg) for steel. CABLE FUON: Fiberglass is an excellent insulator. Unlike fiberglass conduit, steel conduit will weld with cable, and PVC conduit may fuse or melt under electrical fault conditions. CORROON RETANT: Breathaver fiberglass conduit system is not affected by the effects of water or most other chemicals. Contact the factory for further information, if specific information is required. NO BURN-THROUGH: Unlike rigid PVC, phenolic fiberglass elbows have a strong resistance to being cavitated or pierced as a result of rope pull. a complete system 6

First, select the appropriate deflection graph. Continue by selecting the appropriate cable weight from the X-axis and move in a vertical direction, intercepting various deflection lines. At the appropriate deflection line for your application, look left the chart to find the recommended span between supports. n order to take long-term creep into account, the charts have been tabulated using the long-term modulus in the calculations. Because of this, conduit sections will actually deflect much less than the charted value when first installed. f this long-term safety margin is not required, FRE Composites will prepare appropriate span charts for your application on request.

Breathaver is a trademark in Canada, United tates and elsewhere in the world, and is a recognized name worldwide since 1970 s for superior quality advanced composite products. P (ron Pipe ize) Dimensional standard widely utilized in North America for both metallic (such as RMC, EMT, MC) and Rigid Non metallic (RTRC, PVC and HDPE) electrical conduit. This trade size has established its Outside Diameter as the constant value. D (nside Diameter) Dimensional standard widely utilized in North America for electrical and telecommunication raceways. This trade size has established its nside Diameter as the constant value. tandard all () conduit for Below Ground (BG) typical Direct Burial (DB) or Encased Burial (EB) installations or for typical Above Ground (AG) exposed applications Conduit built with a standard nominal wall thickness that varies based on the conduit diameter. RTRC (Reinforced Thermosetting Resin Conduit) An industry acronym for conduits that are manufactured using a mineral reinforcement such as fiberglass in a fully cured thermoset resin. Conduit traight section available in 9.84 ft (3m) or ft (6m) length, and in standard diameters from 3 4 to 8 (21 to 203 mm). Key Products plit conduit (Patented design) ection of FRE conduit cut completely on its longitudinal axis while being hinged at 180 to the longitudinal cut. t can be opened and closed, allowing its installation over existing cables to protect them without having to remove them. The original plit conduit invention was issued to General Electric of Canada (CGE), our former parent company, under U.. Patent No and Canadian Patent No H strip Thermoplastic strip utilized to seal the split side of a split conduit. T strip Thermoplastic strip utilized to seal the hinged side of a split conduit. leeve Oversized section (12 or 305 mm in length) of straight conduit used to repair a damage section of a conduit. obble coupling Non-watertight fitting allowing for vertical and horizontal movements (±3 ) of the raceway. kew obble coupling Non-watertight fitting allowing for vertical and horizontal movements (±7.5 ) of the raceway. O-Ring Expansion Joint ection of conduit including a deep socket unthreaded female section and a gasketed male section of conduit. t is designed to accommodate the thermal expansion and contraction of long sections of straight conduit resulting from ambient temperature variation. This guarantees the water tightness of the joint and no dislocation of the fitting. O-Ring Expansion/Deflection Joint imilar to O-Ring expansion joint described above, but designed to accommodate slight vertical changes in the direction of the incoming conduit by means of a flexible neoprene sleeve located at the exit of the expansion joint. Hangers (ntermediate or Anchored) Corrosion protected metallic supports utilized to hang conduit raceways in above ground installations. Key Technical Descriptions Glass content eight percent of glass fiber present in the conduit, as % of total weight. pan distance Distance between conduit supports which varies based on the selected cable weight and conduit trade size. Deflection Deformation of conduit due to the weight of the cable installed inside it. Deflection is a function of the diameter and weight of the cables, and of the distance between conduit supports. Measured in inches. Coefficient of thermal expansion Ratio representing the change in linear dimension of a section of conduit resulting from changes in temperature (delta T ). Coefficient of friction Ratio of the force tending to maintain contact between two surfaces and the force which opposes the sliding of the surfaces one along the other. 44
