ESN Welcomes FRE Composites: Fiberglass Conduit & Fittings Now on Our Line Card
Hello to all our valued customers and partners,
We’re pleased to announce that FRE Composites, an Atkore brand, has joined the ESN line card. For electrical contractors and installers and distributors working on projects where corrosion resistance, strength, and long-term durability are non-negotiable, FRE Composites brings over six decades of proven fiberglass expertise to the table.
Who Is FRE Composites?
FRE Composites has been designing, engineering, and manufacturing fiberglass composite products since 1958, making them one of the most experienced names in the business. Now operating as part of Atkore — a leading manufacturer of electrical raceway products — FRE Composites is focused exclusively on filament-wound fiberglass conduit products and accessories. Their products serve the electrical, utility, telecom, wastewater, data center, transportation, commercial, and industrial markets across North America.
What Products Does FRE Composites Offer?
FRE Composites’ lineup centres on two core product categories, each engineered for performance in demanding environments:
- Fiberglass Conduit (RTRC) – Filament-wound fiberglass conduit available for above and below ground applications. The epoxy construction delivers superior impact and crush resistance with one of the highest strength-to-weight ratios of any conduit on the market. Key product lines include:
- Hazguard® XW Conduit – The ideal solution for Class 1 Div. 2 locations, including DOT, airport, and telecommunications installations, or anywhere subject to physical damage
- BreathSaver® XW – A 2-hour fire-rated conduit in both horizontal and vertical orientations for wet locations, making it a complete solution for protecting emergency circuits
- Fiberglass Fittings – A full range of accessories to complement their conduit systems, including epoxy elbows that offer a lightweight, no-burn-through solution for sweeps of all sizes — with better corrosion resistance than rigid metallic alternatives
Why FRE Composites, and Why ESN?
Fiberglass conduit is increasingly the specification of choice on projects where metal conduit simply isn’t up to the job — corrosive environments, wet locations, high-voltage utility applications, and installations requiring fire-rated protection. FRE Composites’ products check all of those boxes, backed by the engineering depth and supply chain strength of Atkore. Adding FRE Composites to our electrical partners lineup gives our customers access to a specialized product line that opens doors on project types where other conduit solutions fall short.
