What is Flexible metal conduit？

Flexible metal conduit, also known as FMC, is a type of conduit used for protecting electrical wiring in environments where flexibility is required. It is made of interlocking metal strips or a coiled metal tube, allowing it to bend and twist easily without kinking or collapsing. FMC is commonly used in applications where traditional rigid conduit is impractical, such as in tight spaces, areas with vibration, or where frequent movement of the electrical wiring is necessary. It provides mechanical protection for wires and cables while also offering some degree of resistance to moisture, heat, and physical damage. Flexible metal conduit is often used in commercial and industrial settings, as well as in residential construction projects.

Advantages of Flexible Metal Conduit (FMC):

Flexibility: FMC can bend and twist easily, allowing it to navigate around obstacles and through tight spaces without the need for additional fittings or connectors.

Installation Ease: Its flexibility simplifies installation, reducing labor time and costs compared to rigid conduit systems.

Versatility: Suitable for a wide range of applications, including indoor and outdoor installations, exposed or concealed wiring, and environments with vibration or movement.

Mechanical Protection: Provides robust protection for electrical wiring against physical damage, impact, and abrasion.

Temperature Resistance: Withstands high temperatures and extreme environmental conditions, making it suitable for use in challenging environments.

Corrosion Resistance: Resistant to corrosion, moisture, and chemical exposure, ensuring long-term durability and reliability.
