Create strong, watertight and airtight bonds with HDPE conduit glue.
Polywater® BonDuit® conduit glue joins polyethylene duct (PE pipe) to PVC, fiberglass, or metal conduits. This HDPE adhesive offers a superior, easy-to-apply alternative to joining conduits using mechanical couplings. The rapid-cure, two-part resin adhesive forms a strong watertight and airtight seal. Polywater BonDuit® XL provides an excellent option for 3-inch (75 mm) conduits and larger and helps you to meet the NEC code for transitioning above ground and to PVC or galvanized rigid steel. This conduit glue can be used in indoor and outdoor projects. Both HDPE adhesive kit types deliver a durable bond that can withstand movement and vibration, and are ideal for installation along roadsides or near electrical equipment like transformers or switchgear.

Product Notes
BonDuit and BonDuit XL are UL recognized conduit glues and pass UL Method 746, “Polymeric Adhesive System for Indoor and Outdoor Use with Electrical Equipment”.
BonDuit XL enables coupling of ducts measuring 3-inches (75 mm) and above providing an extremely economical choice. Can be used as a mechanical coupling for conduit diameters higher than 5-inches (125 mm).
BonDuit has a slightly longer set time versus BonDuit XL. Will withstand 120 psi (8.3 bar) continuous pressure.
Meets NEC 352.48, 353.48, and 355.48 for joining PVC, HDPE Polyethylene, and RTRC fiberglass conduit. Perfect products for the transition from underground HDPE pipe to aboveground connections. PVC pipe cement does not bond HDPE (NEC code 353.12.1)
