Flexible Conduit
Flexible protective enclosure for routing wires and cables while allowing bending along the required installation path.
A flexible conduit is intended to mechanically protect and guide electrical wires and cables where a variable or curved routing path is required.
It may be used inside machines, cabinets, equipment, and other electrical systems. Depending on the construction, it may protect wiring against abrasion, mechanical effects, contamination, and other external influences specified for the particular version.
The main dimensional characteristics are nominal, internal, and external diameter, together with the minimum permissible bend radius. The conduit may be metallic, plastic, corrugated, smooth, sealed, or manufactured in another form.
For applications involving moving parts, selected versions may be intended for repeated dynamic flexing. Selection criteria include conduit type, dimensions, material, bend radius, operating conditions, and compatibility with cable glands and connection fittings.
This subcategory includes flexible plastic and metal conduits, corrugated tubes, sealed flexible conduits, braided protective sleeving, and other flexible protective coverings for routing electrical conductors.
