Flexible conduit is an important part of modern industry.

Flexible conduit is mainly used as wire and cable protection pipe for wire, cable, automatic instrument signal and civil shower flexible conduit, specifications from 3mm to 150mm.

Small diameter flexible conduit (inner diameter 3mm-25mm) is mainly used for the protection of precision optical ruler sensor circuit and industrial sensor circuit.

Liquid Tight Non-Metallic Flexible Conduit - PLFNCB2 Series


Different types of flexible conduits:

We have three types of flexible conduit.

They are galvanized metal flexible conduit, PVC coated flexible conduit and liquid tight flexible conduit.

Metal flexible conduit is mainly made of galvanized steel strip.

The outer layer of PVC coated flexible conduit and liquid tight flexible conduit is made of PVC material.

Compared with metal flexible conduits such as EMT or IMC, flexible conduits are installed faster and do not require a pipe bender.

The sizes of liquid-tight flexible conduits are from 10mm to 100mm, while those of PVC-coated flexible ducts and galvanized metal flexible ducts are from 6mm to 150mm.

Flexible Metal Conduit EMI Proof - PEG23GB Series


Application of flexible conduit:

PVC coated flexible conduit and liquid tight flexible conduit can be used for wire protection of railway, engine, transportation system engineering, air conditioning, all kinds of machinery, automatic control equipment, power plant, chemical industry, power distribution system, communication system, ship, etc., buildings, factories and outdoor exposed positions.

Galvanized metal flexible conduit can be used for wire protection of machine buildings and factories.

In addition, the bending and beauty of the cable can be ensured.

 

Don't forget the accessories:

Flexible conduits also have a direct head and a 90-degree joint.

We have two types of fitting materials, zinc and malleable cast iron.

These fittings can be used to glue the flexible conduit to the box or housing.
