Our flexible non-metallic conduits are designed to be easy to install and provide excellent protection from a range of hazardous materials, making them an ideal choice for a wide range of applications. With our range of high
quality non-metallic conduits, you can be sure that your project will be protected for years to come. Let us briefly discuss the three main types of non-metallic flexible conduit , their properties, applications, and features. We will explore how each type can be used and what makes them unique.
Polypropylene flexible conduit is an ideal selection for both indoor and outdoor usage when budget is a factor. Its low smoke and halogen-free (LSOH) properties make it a great choice for interior installation, since halogen-free Low Smoke conduits limit the production of corrosive and toxic gases to a minimum.
In addition, the conduit is UV resistant, making it appropriate for outdoor installation. Our polypropylene range comes in many different colours, sizes and lengths. Furthermore, it’s available in non-split and split, split flexible conduit is ideal for retrofitting into existing setups where cables are already installed. Its split form allows for easy installation without the need to remove the existing cables, making it a perfect choice for application such as these.
