Threaded steel pipe 6016E ZN 6016E ZN_F

Steel pipes for electrical installations – reliable cable protection

The 6016E ZN threaded steel pipe is an installation system component designed to provide mechanical protection for cables and electrical wires. Made of steel with a hot-dip galvanized surface, it provides high resistance to corrosion and mechanical damage. This is crucial in places exposed to moisture, chemicals, or damage during construction work. The pipe is particularly recommended for installations in difficult conditions where high strength and durability are required.

Design and application

The pipe features a metric external thread on one end and a coupling on the other, allowing for easy and secure connection with other installation elements. The rigid model provides stability and resistance to deformation. An outer diameter of 16 mm and an inner diameter of 12.6 mm make it a popular choice for many standard electrical installation applications. The ability to use it in external installations, in wood, concrete, and hollow walls increases its versatility. The compressive strength class according to EN 61386-1 – Very heavy (Class 5) – demonstrates its strength and suitability for use in areas with high mechanical loads.

Advantages and benefits for professionals and users

• Mechanical strength: The steel construction and high compressive strength class guarantee protection of cables against mechanical damage, which translates into safety and reliability of the installation.
• Corrosion resistance: Hot-dip galvanizing provides effective protection against corrosion, even in aggressive environments, which extends the life of the installation and minimizes maintenance costs.
• Wide operating temperature range: The pipe retains its properties in a temperature range of -45°C to 250°C, allowing it to be used in various climatic conditions.
• Easy installation: Threaded connections allow for quick and secure installation without the need for specialized tools.
• Versatility: The ability to use it in various types of installations (external, recessed, surface-mounted) and building materials (concrete, wood) makes it a versatile solution for many projects.
• Compliance with standards: Meets European standards regarding safety and quality of electrical installations.
• Length 3m: Optimal pipe length facilitates transport and installation, minimizing waste.

Additional information: when used with PVC end fitting 4816E - 4863, the operating temperature range is limited to -5 to +60 °C. This should be taken into account when designing installations in specific temperature conditions. In fire protection systems, it is recommended to use a maximum of one cable in the pipe to maintain full functionality. Detailed information regarding fire-resistant systems can be found in the KOPOS catalog.
