Conduit, Sweeps, and Custom Radius Bends for Duct Bank Fabricators
Central Conduit supplies PVC conduit, duct bank sweeps, and custom radius bends for precast and cast-in-place duct bank work, including labor-saving factory options and support for hard-to-source requirements.
Why Duct Bank Fabricators Use Central Conduit
Central Conduit helps duct bank fabricators get the conduit, sweeps, and custom bends they need without wasting labor, forcing stock material into the wrong layout, or waiting on suppliers that can only handle easy catalog items.
If your current source can sell straight pipe but cannot help with duct bank sweeps, custom duct bank bends, factory prep, or urgent job requirements, this page is for you.
If your team is building precast duct banks, assembling cast in place duct banks, or sourcing electrical duct bank conduit for utility, data center, substation, roadway, telecom, or industrial work, Central Conduit helps solve the hard part of the job: getting the right conduit and bends without wasting labor, fighting stock limitations, or slowing down production.

What Duct Bank Projects Usually Need
Most duct bank fabrication inquiries start with straight conduit and sweeps. The most common requests are for PVC conduit for duct bank applications in 2, 3, 4, 6, and 8 inch trade sizes, along with 45° and 90° sweeps.
Depending on the project, customers may need:
Common custom bend radii include:
And when the project calls for something outside the ordinary, Central Conduit can support much larger custom bend requirements. We have seen request for 50′ radius, 100′ radius, 150′ radius, and even 400′ radius requests for custom radius bends used in precast and cast in place duct banks.
Why Fabricators Start Looking for a Better Duct Bank Conduit Supplier
Most problems in duct bank work do not come from straight conduit. They come from everything around it.
Central Conduit delivers the precision-engineered solutions that empower duct bank fabricators to accelerate schedules, minimize field labor, and eliminate material waste. Achieve a superior, factory-finished result for projects requiring:
As a duct bank conduit supplier, Central Conduit works across multiple sourcing paths based on project requirements, approved manufacturers, geography, availability, and timeline. That gives you a better chance of getting the right material faster instead of being boxed in by one limited source.
Stock Sweeps Are Not Enough for Every Duct Bank Layout
A stock sweep works until the project drawings call for something it cannot do.
Many electrical duct bank conduit layouts require bends that are longer or different than standard catalog items. A 120 inch radius bend is a simple example. That is not a typical stock sweep. Other projects have specific bend radius or bend angle per duct.
When project drawings require a specific radius, using the wrong sweep can create problems like:
That is why custom radius bends for duct bank work matter. When the bend geometry matches the layout, the installation goes smoother, cable pulling improves, and the system has a better chance of being right the first time.
Practical Advantages That Help Duct Bank Fabricators Move Faster
Central Conduit helps customers reduce labor, simplify fabrication, and remove unnecessary job site friction.
Factory Chamfered Ends Available
Central Conduit can arrange factory chamfered conduit ends, generally around a 30° chamfer, to help streamline duct bank fabrication and field installation. This keeps your team from having to manually chamfer conduit ends in the shop or in the field, which saves labor, reduces extra handling, and helps keep production moving.
Factory Prepared Plain Ends
Outer-edge prep can be arranged on qualifying plain end conduit to reduce manual prep and help improve alignment during assembly.
Custom Lengths
If your fabrication process works better with non-standard stick lengths, custom lengths are available. This can help reduce cutting, reduce waste, and better fit the assembly process.
Opaque Covers for Sun Protection
Opaque covers can be arranged to help protect conduit from sun exposure during delivery and storage.

Central Conduit focuses on solving those problems by supporting custom PVC bending solutions including:
Conduit and Sweeps for Precast Duct Bank Fabrication
Precast duct bank shops need more than commodity conduit. They need a supplier that understands how conduit, sweeps, fit-up, spacing, production flow, and project-specific requirements all work together.
Central Conduit supports precast duct bank fabrication with PVC conduit for duct bank systems, standard sweeps, custom duct bank bends, and labor-saving options that can reduce prep work during assembly.
For precast operations, consistency matters. The conduit needs to match the project specification, the bends need to match the layout, and the material needs to arrive in a form that supports efficient fabrication. Central Conduit helps support that process by supplying the conduit and bend components that keep the shop moving.
Conduit and Sweeps for Cast in Place Duct Bank Work
Not every duct bank is built in a precast yard. Many projects require conduit systems to be assembled directly in the trench and concrete-encased in place.
Central Conduit supports cast in place duct bank work with PVC conduit for duct bank construction, standard sweeps, long radius PVC elbows, and custom radius bends for duct bank layouts used in utility, data center, industrial, roadway, telecom, and commercial underground work.
For cast in place duct bank installation, material consistency matters. You need conduit that matches project specifications, approved manufacturers, bend requirements, and schedule demands. Central Conduit helps source straight conduit and bends for concrete encased duct bank runs, including common trade sizes and standard or custom bend configurations.
Factory chamfered ends can also be arranged on qualifying orders to help reduce field labor and speed up assembly. That means less beveling in the trench, less extra handling, and one less step slowing down the crew.
Whether the job involves a single run or a large multi-run pour, Central Conduit can help supply the conduit and bend components that keep the work moving.

Conduit Spacers and Duct Bank Layout Considerations
Conduit spacers are part of the broader duct bank layout conversation. They help maintain conduit separation, alignment, and layout during assembly and concrete encasement, whether the project involves precast duct bank fabrication or cast in place duct bank installation.
For contractors and project teams planning electrical duct bank conduit systems, spacer requirements often connect directly to other decisions such as:
Custom Means Custom
When we say custom, we are not talking about a slightly odd stock item. We are talking about a fully customized PVC bend tailored to your specific requirements, produced quickly, at scale, and delivered across the country. Central Conduit is built for this type of conversation.
Typical Duct Bank Applications We Support
Central Conduit supports conduit and bend supply for:
Conduit Products For Duct Bank Systems
PVC Conduit
UL certified Schedule 40 PVC conduit is the backbone of most duct bank systems.
Common trade sizes from 2 in through 8 in, supplied in 10 ft and 20 ft lengths to match your duct bank and vault layouts.
PVC Elbows and Fittings
PVC elbows handle the turns where data center power and fiber change direction.
We supply standard and long radius elbows in the trade sizes used on duct banks and vault approaches, helping reduce cable stress and keep pulls clean.
Custom Radius PVC Sweeps
PVC custom radius elbows made in any size, any radius, and any quantity for data center duct banks and vault approaches. Shaped to match your cable schedule, we have produced bends up to 150 feet for long runs between substations and data halls.
Designed for smooth cable transitions, these bends reduce friction and tension, making wire pulls easier and safer.
HDPE Conduit
We supply HDPE in reels or sticks with options for striping and pull tape, designed to work alongside PVC so your duct banks and raceways stay consistent across the site.
Conforms to domestic standards preference including Buy America (BAA), Build America, Buy America (BABA), and DOT Buy American requirements.
Standards And Specs For Duct Bank Conduit
PVC conduit and elbows for data center projects must meet the same electrical standards as any critical power installation, but at much larger scale. Central Conduit supplies Schedule 40 and Schedule 80 PVC conduit and fittings manufactured to UL 651 and NEMA TC-2 requirements, covering material, dimensions, impact resistance, and performance for above ground, encased, and direct burial use.
For HDPE conduit used on fiber and low voltage laterals, we work with products that meet ASTM F2160, UL 651A, and NEMA TC-7. These standards govern dimensional tolerances, pressure ratings, and long term performance for underground and directional drilling applications, which is why project engineers and inspectors recognize them on submittals and as-built documentation.
