Champion Fiberglass is the most advanced manufacturing facility of fiberglass conduit, fiberglass bridge drain and fiberglass strut systems in the world. Its well-trained and highly efficient workforce utilizes stateof-the-art proprietary high-speed winding equipment and high-temperature curing ovens to develop the world's most advanced, highest-quality fiberglass conduit and bridge drain systems. Our 118,000 squarefoot facility includes state-of-the-art technology that speeds our output and increases our filament winding capacity rate of manufacture — thereby increasing our ability to delivery quicker, more customized solutions for our customers. Champion Fiberglass began production of fiberglass conduit (referred to as Reinforced Thermoset Resin Conduit or RTRC in the National Electric Code [NEC]) and fittings in 1988. Since then, Champion Fiberglass has developed into the most advanced manufacturing facility of fiberglass conduit in the world. In 1989, Champion Fiberglass developed the first fiberglass conduit from an epoxy resin for use above ground. The conduit meets the most stringent industry specifications for flame resistance (UL 94) and smoke generation (ASTM E84). Today, Champion Duct® epoxy conduit is UL and CSA listed for both above (UL 2515, UL 2515A and CSA) and below ground (UL 2420 and CSA) applications. Another milestone was achieved in 2006 when Champion Fiberglass completed development of the first zero-smoke, zero-halogen, two-hour fire-rated Phenolic Conduit System called Flame Shield® — made entirely from non-toxic chemicals. It does not include toxic chemicals such as formaldehyde, etc. Flame Shield has become the conduit of choice for subways, mass transit passenger stations and tunnel two-hour fire-rated applications. Flame Shield meets the requirements of NFPA 130 and NFPA 502. In 2008, after many years of continuous effort and work with UL and the NEC, Champion Haz Duct® Type XW Conduit was certified for use in Class 1, Division 2 and Zone 1, Division 2 applications per NEC.
