Thanks, I think I will stick to the 11 for now.

13.5 kinks easier too, especially 1". Even tho ote stiffer it's easier to get
sdr11 placed and routed into peds/handholds without linking.

The 13.5 tends to squish a little more than 11. If it sits outside long
enough, it is a bit more brittle too. We've had some minor issues where
plowing in rocky areas and the rocks can sometimes squish it.

You get 5000 feet on 7 foot reels too. It is lighter. Lots of good

I don't know jack about the duct, but 2c per foot? $2,000 over 20 miles.
If you still need the thicker wall in some circumstances, then you might
lose two grand in the cost of stocking and shipping and handling two rolls of
tube vs one roll of tube.
The first time somebody brings the wrong roll to a job site and has to go
back, then you've lost more than two grand of productivity. Seems like it
couldn't be worth it to me. But I don't know jack.

I am considering using some SDR 13.5 duct where I have always used SDR11
before.
The DR stands for diameter ratio. Ratio between wall thickness and outer
diameter (I think). Higher numbers mean thinner wall thickness.
Others use the 13.5 unless they get into rocky areas. I am a bit gunshy
as the cost is only about 2 cents per foot different.
Anyone here have any experiences they can relate?
