Metal & Non Metal Flexible Conduit
Conduit is typically required where wiring is exposed or where it might be subject to damage.
A conduit can be made of METAL or PLASTIC and may be rigid or flexible. All conduit is installed with compatible fittings (couplings, elbows, connectors) and electrical boxes, usually made of the same or similar material.
Flexible conduit is specifically used in areas where it is not possible to use a rigid conduit.
Flexible Metal Conduit (FMC) & Fittings
Flexible metal conduit (FMC) has a spiral construction that makes it flexible so it can snake through walls and other structures. FMC ranging from 10mm to 75mm in size, manufactured in galvanised steel or stainless steel and with or without a range of coverings/overbraiding.
Flexible metallic conduit is very usefull in the more complicated and more flexible wiring places.
Flexible metallic conduit used for Cable Protection from Continuous Vibration, Weather, Vandalism, in some of the most demanding markets including Rail, Transport, Renewables, Utilities, Petrochemical, Data Networking and Food and Beverage sectors.
Flexible metallic conduit is made by the helical coiling of a self-interlocked ribbed strip of aluminum or steel, forming a hollow tube through which wires can be pulled.
National Electrical Code does allow metallic conduit and tubing to be used as an equipment grounding conductor, as long as it's installed properly. However, before using it as such in an existing installation, you should verify that it provides an adequate continuous path to ground.
