FMC (flexible metallic conduit) strong, hardwearing conduit tube. Provides good cable protection, flexibility but is not waterproof, so good for dry indoor locations. The construction of FMC allows it to pass through walls and other channelled structures. RMC (rigid metal conduit) a galvanized steel tube that requires threaded fittings. A heavy-duty conduit providing great protection, indoors and out, of electrical cables and other equipment.

LFMC (liquid-tight flexible metal conduit) flexible conduit with a plastic coating, protecting cables and wires from moisture. LFMC is ideal when used with sealed fittings giving you watertight outdoor protection. BS EN 61386 compliant Class 4 Conduit is available in 20mm and 25mm external diameters in 3metre or 3.75metre lengths. EMT (electrical metal tubing) is made from aluminium and galvanized steel. This electrical conduit pipe is also known as thin wall as it is flexible enough to be bent to shape. Used indoors in residential and commercial applications. IMC (intermediate metal conduit) same as RMC, used for the same applications. This conduit is lighter and is made from thinner steel plus easier to work with. 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.

What are Conduits?

BS 4568 compliant Class 4 Conduit is available in 20mm, 25mm and 32mm external diameters in 3.75metre lengths. TTE conduit is hot dipped galvanised after manufacture to comply with Class 4, offering heavy protection inside and out. Galvanising is undertaken on a purpose made plant to ensure an even coating and employs a final superheated steam blast to ensure the bore is smooth and clear of defects which might damage cable installation.

The split conduits we supply, here at Flex-It, are made from polypropylene. Thanks to the material’s high melting point, and resistance to detergents, water and acids, it’s ideal for a variety of applications. These include: TTE Conduit Tube is threaded at both ends and is supplied complete with a coupler and one plastic thread protector cap. ENMT (electrical non-metallic tubing) resistant to moisture and fire, flexible plastic tubing with a corrugated structure allowing it to bend. This conduit is easy to install with fittings but must not be installed in exposed areas, perfect when fitted into walls and solid channelled structures.Conduit is tubing used to enclose and protect electrical wires that supply power to a home or a building. Electrical conduits are made from plastic, steel, galvanized steel, nylon, PVC, polypropylene and steel spring wire, providing a channel for single or multiple cables.
