What Is a Flexible Metal Conduit?


Flexible metal conduit (FMC) has a spiral construction that enables it to snake through walls and other structures. FMC protects electrical wiring in commercial and industrial buildings.

Where Can You Use Flexible Metal Conduit?

Flexible metal conduit (FMC) is a type of electrical conduit that is used to protect and route electrical wiring in a flexible manner. It is commonly used in various applications where a degree of flexibility is required. Here are some common places where flexible metal conduit is used:

Commercial and Industrial Buildings:

Flexible metal conduit is often used in commercial and industrial settings to protect electrical wiring where flexibility is needed due to the layout of the building or the presence of machinery.

Residential Wiring:

In residential construction, flexible metal conduit may be used in certain areas where flexibility is required, such as in tight spaces or where it is difficult to run rigid conduit.

Outdoor Installations:

Flexible metal conduits are suitable for outdoor installations where the conduit needs to navigate around obstacles or follow the contours of the landscape.

Exposed or Concealed Locations:

It can be used in both exposed and concealed locations, depending on the specific requirements of the installation.

Dry and Damp Locations:

Flexible metal conduit is suitable for use in both dry and damp locations. However, it's important to use the appropriate fittings and supports based on the specific environmental conditions.

Areas with Vibration:

Due to its flexibility, flexible metal conduit is often used in areas where there is a potential for vibration, as it can help absorb some of the movement and protect the wiring.

Renovations and Retrofitting:

Flexible metal conduit is commonly used in renovation projects where the existing structure may present challenges for rigid conduit installation.

Machinery and Equipment:

Flexible metal conduit is suitable for wiring in and around machinery and equipment where flexibility is essential.
