Liquid-tight flexible conduit has higher corrosion resistance
Flexicon is launching a new range of liquid-tight flexible conduit that has high corrosion resistance thanks to a stainless steel core and a high-temperature PVC coating.
With an IP rating of up to IP68, the new LTPSS range has a smooth, wipe-clean outer cover that makes it suitable for applications that need to withstand washdowns or for outdoor applications. It is also resistant to oils and greases, UV light for external applications and is suitable for applications with a temperature range of between -20degC to 105degC.
This is a flexible conduit with high mechanical strength and good flexibility, and the PVC cover does not wrinkle when bent. It can be used with a wide range of compression stainless steel fittings, which maintain the product's IP rating and corrosion resistance.
New fittings
In addition, Flexicon is launching new fittings for all of its liquid-tight ranges of flexible conduit. There is a new multipart compression fitting with an elastomeric seal that has an external thread that swivels about the main body even after tightening. Also new are a 45-degree compression fitting and a multipart compression coupler including seals for joining two conduits. The fittings sealed to IP66, IP67 and IP68 (5Bar).
