Adapters for Flexible Plastic Conduit
Tabs on one end snap into grooves in conduit; the other end attaches to a knockout in an outlet box or enclosure. These adapters help seal out air and liquid when used with flexible plastic conduit. All meet IP68 for prolonged submersion and IP69K for high-pressure, high-temperature washdowns. They withstand vibration, are flame retardant, and resist oil, solvents, and UV light.

Crush-Resistant Flexible Plastic Conduit
Thick corrugations make this conduit crush resistant. Also known as mechanical protection tubing (MPT), it withstands vibration, is flame retardant, and resists oil, solvents, and UV light. When used with fittings for flexible plastic conduit, this conduit seals out air and liquid.
Flexible Metal Conduit
Also known as FMC, this conduit offers the crush resistance of metal combined with flexibility to handle bends in tight spaces.
Zinc-plated steel conduit has a heavy zinc coating for corrosion resistance. Aluminum conduit is lighter than steel and has good corrosion resistance. It's often used to hook up motors and light fixtures.
Also known as antishort bushings, these grommets slide into the ends of conduit and types AC and MC armored cable to protect wire and cable from sharp edges.

Flexible Metal Conduit for Fiber Optic Cable
Protect fiber optic cable with this small-diameter conduit. Made of 304 stainless steel, it’s flexible enough to weave through tight spaces but strong enough to resist over-bending, so it won’t disrupt signals. Rated IP68, it’s dust tight and protected from prolonged submersion.
Conduit with a PVC cover is stretch resistant to protect cable from damage during installation. It also resists compression and impact for use in tight spaces that may shift over time, and resists UV light for use outdoors. This conduit does not resist oil or chemicals as well as conduit with a silicone cover.
Conduit with a silicone cover won’t absorb oil or chemicals, including the hazardous pulling lubricants commonly used in cable installation. Fiberglass braiding inside this conduit makes it stretch resistant, protecting cable while it’s being installed. The braiding limits conduit flexibility, giving it a wider bend radius than conduit with a PVC cover to provide cable with extra protection from over-bending. This conduit stays flexible at high temperatures, so it’s a common choice for guarding fiber optic cable near heat sources. It’s not as compression or impact resistant as conduit with a PVC cover.
