Product Information

Galvanised steel with PVC covering, galvanised steel overbraid, enhanced EMI screening flexible conduit

Metal flexible conduit is suitable for use in systems for electrical power, communication cables, motor leads, listed assemblies, wire fixtures, and manufactured wiring systems. Flexible Metallic Conduit (FMC) – usually made from either aluminium or steel FMC is commonly used where a thin-walled electrical metallic could pose a risk. Also known as Greenfield, flexible metal conduits are made from galvanized steel tubing that is installed with threaded fittings. They are more durable that plastic conduits and can withstand harsher weather conditions. However, they are more difficult to install than other types of conduit as the material is harder to bend and cut when you compare it to plastic. It is most suitable for applications in electrical power, communication cables and wire fixtures. Below is a summary of our most popular flexible metal conduits;No matter where you need to route your cables – be it around tight bends or other hard-to-reach areas, our range of conduits is sure to get the job done. This type of conduit has a high-temperature version in SS-Series Stainless Steel Range which is ideal for high-temperature and corrosive environments and areas that require additional strength and support. When compared to non-metallic conduits, often made from PVC or polypropylene, metallic flexible conduits are often constructed from a steel base material and are ideal for heavy-duty applications. Buy metallic flexible conduits Plastic flexible conduit is made from thermoplastic materials, including PVC (polyvinyl chloride) and PE (polyethylene). It’s the most common type of flexible conduit and is available in a variety of colors. They are also the perfect solution for cables in applications that require a high degree of corrosion protection, but where protection from ingress of water is not required. With their temperature range sitting at -100°C to +600°C, you can be assured that this material is perfect for the job. The flexible stainless steel conduit range on offer from Flex-It is more than durable enough to cope in the most challenging of environments. PVC (rigid polyvinyl chloride) can be bent into shape using heating tools and requires suitable fittings and adaptors. PVC is available in rigid and flexible formats.

Both plastic and metal flexible conduits have their pros and cons. Ultimately, the type of conduit that’s best for your application depends on your specific needs. If you need a lightweight, easy-to-install conduit that can handle moderate weather conditions, then plastic flexible conduit is a good option. If you need a more durable conduit that can withstand harsher weather conditions, then metal flexible conduit is a better choice. The B-Series Plain Galvanised Steel Range is ideal for underfloor heating systems and other applications where continuous flexing is required. If you’re looking for a liquid-tight flexible metal conduit for demanding environments – be it lighting, communication, air conditioning systems or fire alarm systems, our D-Series Liquid-Tight PVC Covered Steel Range is a fantastic choice. Offering excellent mechanical strength, this type of flexible metal conduit is perfect for machining, processing and handling environments.Here at Flex It, we’re proud to supply the highest quality flexible conduits at some of the most competitive prices – so you don’t have to worry about spending a fortune.
