Looking to purchase the best split wire loom tubing? Here are some tips and extra details helping you to make the best choice. Flexible metal conduit (FMC) is also called “Greenfield,” after the name of its inventor. It has a spiral construction that makes it flexible so it can snake through walls and other structures. Standard FMC is used in dry indoor locations, often for short runs between a wall box and a motor or fixed appliance, such as a garbage disposer.
Asphalt Coated Fabric Loom: Need to protect against moisture or abrasive chemicals? Asphalt coated fabric loom is a non-split loom that is ideal for harsh environments and is coated with a flame retardant coating as well.
PVC is most commonly used for underground outdoor circuits, such as for landscape or yard lighting systems or for circuits providing power to sheds or detached garages. You also see it extending from the bottom of outdoor service panels. It cannot be used to support fixtures and is not allowed where it may be subject to physical damage.
The liquid tight flexible non-metallic conduit (LNFC) is really a reliable option for a wide range of applications. It is built to be really hard-wearing and protective having the ability to give defense against water and flames. Plus, certain LNFC may be manufactured with multiple layers to provide extra strength. This is basically the most practical form of Plastic Flexible Conduit Fittings to make use of in locations which might be seen as potentially hazardous. See extra info on Wire loom tubing.
Liquid tight flexible metal conduit, this type of conduit is a good choice for covering cable which requires flexibility and protection from areas prone to moisture. Rigid metal conduit is one the hardest wearing, this type of metal conduit is a good solution for cable management in extreme conditions. As the name suggests, this type of conduit cannot be bent, corner pieces and bends are available to join the pieces together. PVC plastic conduit is predominantly installed in wet locations, it’s available in a flexible or rigid type. Plastic conduit can be easily attached to one another with PVC adhesive or connection adaptors. To ensure safety, a green wire can be wrapped around the conduit at the connecting points to achieve the correct grounding, this is because PVC conduit is non- conductive.
If you’re going to protect a series of cables. I think split plastic flexible conduit is a good choice for you. Split plastic flexible conduit is split. It is easy for you to put cable in and take them out. Sometimes people will be worried about the cables will fall out from conduit. Please don’t worry about, after put all cables in, we will often use wrap tape to fix conduit. Most people know corrugated plastic flexible conduit and split plastic flexible conduit. But they know little about HDPE spiral flexible conduit. HDPE spiral flexible conduit is spiral conduit, makes it stronger and durabler than general flexible conduit. Furthermore, it can be produced in big diameter. We can produce 300mm outer diameter of HDPE spiral flexible conduit. It is nearly impossible for general flexible conduit.

Intermediate Metallic Conduit or IMC is lighter weight, metallic conduit and is rated as stronger than other rigid conduit. IMC was first produced by Allied Tube & Conduit. IMC, provided in both threaded IMC and non-threaded IMC forms, is a rigid metallic conduit tubing, typically hot-dipped galvanized steel or stainless steel. The interior of galvanized steel IMC is usually coated with an anti-corrosion layer. Threaded IMC is joined by threaded couplings, C condulets, sweeps and bends. The tubing is cut with a pipe cutter or tubing cutter, and then threads cut using a thread cutting tool. When cutting IMC, take care to remove burrs on the tubing interior that would otherwise damage electrical wires being pulled through the conduit.
