The four-tooth fitting that is standard on Flexicons new Flexilok flexible conduit fittings is said to ensure greater all-round grip and safety for 42 and 54mm conduit systems and is available with a removal tool should the fitting need to be removed in the future.
Flexicon has extended its range of FPA and FPAX fast fit flexible conduit fittings to include integrated cable glands that provide cable strain relief when using non-metallic flexible conduit systems.
New from Flexicon is a liquid tight flexible conduit, called LTPLFH, which when used with its ATEX and IECEx EX d barrier gland is suitable for hazardous areas. It has an IP rating of up to IP69k and a low fire hazard rating.
Flexicon has extended its range of flameproof hazardous area EXD barrier glands to provide stainless steel (grade 316) fittings for applications that require additional corrosion resistance.
Two anti-static, liquid tight conduit systems from Flexicon can be used to avoid electrostatic charge build-up on installed equipment, including the surface of the conduit.
According to Flexicon’s new cable protection guide for hazardous areas, using flexible conduit systems can offer a potentially safer solution that could also save money and time.
Flexicon has supplied industrial fan manufacturer, Fläkt Woods, with high specification cable protection for the installation of powerful ventilation fans for the Marmaray tunnel rail project in Turkey, which links the European and Asian shores of Istanbul passing underneath the Bosporous Strait.
