• 6th April 2021

Flexible conduits can be extremely helpful for business owners who wish to keep their premises safe and organised. But where are they usually needed?

In this article, the team at Flex-It, specialists in the manufacture and supply of both metallic and non metallic conduits, will explain where our products are most commonly installed and why they are needed there.

Top Uses for Flexible Conduit

Organisation

Flexible conduits are often used to encase electric cabling or wiring. This can be very helpful when it comes to organising a workspace and making it easier to locate particular cables for maintenance.

Injury Prevention

The installation of flexible conduit also prevents the development of a confusing mess of wires that may result in dangerous mistakes or even trip hazards.

For this reason, flexible conduits are exceptionally useful when it comes to encasing cabling in public spaces – as it will keep all of your customers or visitors safe from harm.

Damage Prevention

If your workspace is open to the elements or regularly exposed to water – for example, if you regularly wash equipment in-house – it may be a good idea to consider liquid tight non metallic or metallic conduits to protect your cables against water damage.

What’s more, many of the conduits from Flex-It are highly robust and can protect electrical components against damage incurred by impact or rough treatment.

We also provide conduit that is heat resistant, with some designs offering a temperature range of -50°C to +300°C, which means so they’ll function perfectly in locations where extreme temperatures are the norm.

Our conduits can even protect against pests or pets chewing through cables; providing a superstrong casing that will deter any creature.

Laying Cable Around Other Equipment

If you run premises that need surface mounted and accessible cabling to be laid across a relatively large distance, you may find that there are certain immovable obstacles in the way.

With flexible conduit, you can easily control the positioning of your cables and carefully bend them around items in their path without the need for additional fixings.

Thanks to their wide range of beneficial properties, flexible conduits are utilised in a numerous different environments – from public transport hubs to shopping centres, hospitals and educational facilities.

They are often used in lighting and underfloor heating systems, air conditioning setups, fire alarms, communication systems and for outdoor applications to name just a few.
