Looking to purchase high quality flexible plastic conduit? Here are some recommendations and extra details helping you to make the best pick. Intermediate metal conduit, or IMC, is a thinner, lighter-weight version of rigid metal conduit and is approved for use in all of the same applications as RMC. Because IMC is lighter and easier to work with than RMC, it is more common in new construction. Another example of a rigid electrical conduit is EMT (electrical metal tubing), which is most commonly made of galvanized steel but can also be aluminum. EMT is also called “thin-wall” conduit because it is thin and lightweight, especially compared to RMC. EMT is rigid but can be bent with a simple tool called a conduit bender.
Metal Sleeving: Ideal for grounding. This sleeving provides the perfect look in high-end automotive and motorcycle applications. We currently offer this in tinned coppered and stainless steel versions.
Rigid polyvinyl chloride conduit is plastic tubing that’s sort of a thin version of PVC plumbing pipe (and is usually gray instead of white). It can be heated and bent to change direction but is more commonly routed with elbow fittings. Connections are solvent-glued, similarly to the way PVC plumbing pipe is handled. The glued connections make the raceway watertight, so PVC can be used for outdoor and underground applications, as well as for dry and even corrosive locations. Because PVC is nonconductive, this conduit cannot serve as a ground path.
The liquid tight flexible metal conduit (LFMC) is a versatile choice that is not only effective at protecting the wires from damage, but additionally gives reliable waterproof protection. As a way to offer the waterproofing protection, the conduit is coated by using a special jacket that only fits over the top of the the metal. This implies the LFMC great to make use of in any environment, including those areas which may experience difficulties with damp. Discover additional details at Wire loom tubing.
When choosing your conduit cable it’s important that you choose the correct material for the project you are undertaking, this is to ensure the safety of yourself and others, also to promote high performance of the tubing. Typical conduit materials that you will find from RS Components are nylon, steel, galvanised steel, PVC and stainless steel amongst a whole host of others.

The most common type of electrical conduit for house wiring is the thin-wall type. Thin-wall conduit is too thin for threaded joints. It is joined to other lengths of conduit and to boxes by pressure-type fittings. Stainless steel EMT conduit and fittings combine strength with ductility, resulting in an affordable, lightweight and easy-to-handle conduit assembly. EMT can be installed indoors and outdoors in accordance with UL and NEC® requirements.
