UL Cable Tight™ System
UL Cable Tight™ System
The CableTight™ System is a watertight electrical conduit solution engineered for exceptional durability and flexibility, thriving in the toughest underground environments. The system employs continuous runs of flexible High Density Polyethylene (HDPE) conduit with press-fit connectors to facilitate fast, accurate, and watertight conduit installation that's built to last.
Improve the efficiency and cost-effectiveness of installations by rolling continuous runs of CableTight™ conduit off a reel while eliminating constant joint work.
Available in ¾" and 1" diameters
Employs continuous runs of joint-free flexible HDPE conduit
Highly durable and flexible, kink- and crack-resistant
1,000' & 1,500' long pre-loaded reels for easy transport / pulling
Ultra low friction lining for fast and smooth wire pulling
Eliminates buried glued joints every 10' required with PVC conduit
Press-fit, direct-bury watertight connectors are pressure-testable
Threaded press-fit connectors for metallic conduit connections
Watertight entry boots for containment sump entry
UL listed and NEC-compliant, meets NFPA 70-2020 standards
With continuous HDPE conduit runs of up to 1,500', CableTight™ eliminates the time, labor costs, and potential leak points of having to make a glued connection every 10' with PVC conduit sticks.
CableTight™ press-fit connectors allow conduit connections to be made by hand with no specialized tools, either to extend flexible conduit runs or make watertight threaded connections to rigid metal conduit.
Robust HDPE construction prevents cracking or kinking in cold-weather installations, endures job-site impacts, and offers flexibility for trench sweeps (¾" = 15" bend radius, 1" = 20" bend radius).
The CableTight™ system is UL listed and meets NEC 2020 Code Requirements, NFPA 70-2020 (Sec. No. 514.8 Underground Wiring).
CableTight™ electrical conduit comes pre-loaded on durable metal reels for easy transport and on-site roll out. The reel hub is compatible with spindle pins of up to 3 1/4" diameter.
A Flexible Solution
Constructed of highly flexible HDPE on pre-loaded reels that are easily rolled out into long continuous, joint-free runs.
Highly Durable
HDPE conduit won’t crack or kink when bent in cold-weather nor will it shatter if struck by a tool or stepped on at a busy job site.
Remove Leak Points
Eliminates buried epoxy or glued PVC joints that can be susceptible to water intrusion.
No Reel Memory
Flexible construction lays flat off the reel for easy pulling and accommodation of tight trench bend radii.
Two fitting types (conduit-to-conduit and conduit-to-threaded conduit) allow for a quick and watertight connection to all potential conduit materials including CableTight™ flexible conduit, rigid metal conduit with NPT threads, and even PVC.
CableTight™ press-fit connectors allow conduit connections to be made by hand with no specialized tools, either to extend flexible conduit runs or make watertight threaded connections to rigid metal conduit.
1. Connect
Inserting HDPE conduit causes the metal grippers to expand and allow the conduit to pass through to the backstop.
2. Grip
A quick tug causes the gripping teeth to bite into the conduit for a secure, gasketed, watertight connection.
3. Reconnect
The connectors can also be removed and re-installed if an incorrect connection is made.
Electrical Trough
Connect CableTight™ conduit to rigid conduit with 1" & 3/4" Press-Fit Connectors.
Stubbed Connections
Continue conduit runs to accommodate phased construction with 1" & 3/4" Threaded Press-Fit Connectors.
End Connections
Connect CableTight™ conduit to rigid conduit at dispenser sumps, canopies, light posts, or other electrical equipment requiring rigid conduit end connections with 1" & 3/4" Threaded Press-Fit Connectors.
Long Runs
With continuous HDPE conduit runs of up to 1,500', CableTight™ eliminates the time, labor costs, and potential leak points of having to make a glued connection every 10' with PVC conduit sticks.
Tank Connections
Connect rigid conduit to tank sump containment CableTight™ Containment Entry Boots. These entry boots facilitate a watertight connection between metallic electrical conduit and containment sumps with a significant reduction in installation time, while also completely removing exposed rubber from the connection.

Installation
CableTight™ press-fit connectors allow electrical contractors to make conduit connections by hand with no specialized tools, either to extend flexible conduit runs or make watertight threaded connections to metal conduit. Inserting HDPE conduit causes the metal grippers to expand and allow the conduit to pass through to the backstop. A quick tug causes the integrated gripping teeth rings to bite into the conduit for a secure, watertight connection. The connectors can also be removed and re-installed if an incorrect connection is made.
Press-Fit Connectors
- A: O-Ring Seals
Double Nitrile O-ring seals on both fitting ends create a watertight seal between the fitting
and conduit. - B: Gripping Teeth
Machined steel gripping teeth rings on both fitting ends bite into the conduit to create a
secure connection. - C: Fitting Body
A high-strength Acetal engineered plastic fitting body provides superior durability built
for harsh underground environments. - D: Joiner
The gasketed, threaded, two-sided joiner allows the fitting to be separated and re-connected if adjustments are needed.
