Abstract
A plastic conduit section of the bell and spigot variety for protecting electrical and communications cable, featuring paired, parallel, ridged spigots or channeled spigots, slotted bells, and resilient tie rods or keys to join adjacent conduit sections together. Interrupted peripheral keyways and resilient keys are used to join adjacent conduit sections together. These conduit sections may be internally divided into smaller subcompartments. A circumferential gasket seals the joint between the spigot and the bell ends. Flanged end surfaces limit axial movement and deflection. Lipped ends index and seat adjacent conduit sections for subsequent joining.
