Learn how Champion Flame Shield® protects cables in fire-prone areas to keep important life safety systems working in the event of an emergency.

As the leading manufacturer in phenolic electrical conduit, rigid nonmetallic conduit (RNC) Champion Fiberglass^Ⓡ  ensures safety for millions of roadway and transit commuters passing through roadway and transit tunnels.

Champion Flame Shield^Ⓡ  meets these safety standards:

• Withstands temperatures up to 1850℉ for two hours
• No smoke, toxic halogens, chlorine, or formaldehyde are released when burning
• Meets NFPA 130, NFPA 502, ASTM E84, ASTM E136, ASTM E162, ASTM E662, and Flammability Classification UL94 VO
• UL 2515-A Listed for phenolic XW conduit

Most recently, we’ve achieved UL 2196 FHIT28E for RHH Dry Applications with our partner Radix Wire & Cable.

In addition, it offers the strength of metal conduit and does not release toxic halogens and smoke like PVC conduit. Another advantage is that it is available with shorter lead times and lower prices.

Champion Flame Shield^Ⓡ  is ideal for use in horizontal and vertical installations in subway tunnels and transit stations, emergency circuit raceways in high-rise buildings, elevator shafts, mines, and plenums. Plus, its light weight helps facilitate installation in these tight environments. 

Thousands of electrical engineers and contractors count on Champion Fiberglass^Ⓡ and its 30+ years of product and project expertise for successful project outcomes. Our team specializes in custom solutions and customer service not found in our competitors.
