Ultra-Strength Lightweight Carbon Fiber Round Tubes
Often used in place of aluminum for structural frames, machinery components, and robotics, these tubes are lighter in weight and almost as rigid. Carbon fiber is known for its use in the aerospace industry where a balance of weight and strength is vital. Thanks to these tubes being lightweight, they reduce wear and stress on motorized parts to extend the life of machinery.
Plain matte tubes have fibers that run in one direction, making them strong in the direction of the fibers. They resist bending across the fibers but will splinter and separate like string cheese when bent along the length of the fiber. Matte carbon fiber is ready to paint and won’t reflect light, making it ideal for photography applications.

High-Temperature Electrical-Insulating Tube Sleeving
This sleeving withstands temperatures up to 390° F and is often used to insulate connections in transformers, relays, and solenoids. It prevents electricity and heat from dissipating from wire and cable. When exposed to flame, it will self-extinguish and produce a nonconductive ash. It’s flame rated VW-1 to meet requirements for preventing the spread of flames based on a timed test with vertically suspended material. Made of silicone-coated fiberglass, it resists chemicals.
Electrical-Insulating Tube Sleeving
Add a layer of insulation to prevent electricity and heat from dissipating from wire and cable. This sleeving is often used in motors, transformers, and generators. Made of coated fiberglass, it resists abrasion, acids, alkalies, and chemicals.
Vinyl-coated sleeving resists wax and alcohol. Sleeving is flame-rated VW-1 to meet requirements for preventing the spread of flames based on a timed test with vertically suspended material.
Expandable Electrical-Insulating Tube Sleeving
A specially formulated silicone rubber coating allows this fiberglass sleeving to stretch over items during installation; it then tightens around its contents for a secure fit. Often used in motors, generators, and transformers, it prevents electricity and heat from dissipating from wire and cable. It has good chemical resistance.
Flexible Plastic Conduit

Crush-Resistant Flexible Plastic Conduit
For technical drawings and 3-D models, click on a part number.
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.
Liquid-Tight Flexible Plastic Conduit
For technical drawings and 3-D models, click on a part number.
The spiral design makes this conduit flexible. When used with liquid-tight fittings, it seals out liquid and resists oil, corrosion, and UV light. Route it around tight bends and use in high-vibration applications or those that require periodic flexing. This conduit cuts cleanly with no jagged edges and has a smooth interior that protects wire and cable from abrasion when being pulled.
Use these adapters to attach liquid-tight flexible plastic conduit to a knockout in an outlet box or enclosure. They provide a connection that seals out liquid and resists oil, corrosion, and UV light. They are UL listed when used with abrasion-resistant liquid-tight flexible plastic conduit (Type B).
Adapters with a push-in end are removable and reusable.

Shielded Flexible Plastic Conduit
For technical drawings and 3-D models, click on a part number.
Covered with a copper braid, this conduit protects wire and cable from electromagnetic interference (EMI) caused by motors and other equipment. Use with fittings for shielded flexible plastic conduit. This conduit is also known as mechanical protection tubing (MPT).
These adapters provide electromagnetic interference (EMI) protection when connecting shielded flexible plastic conduit to a knockout in an outlet box or enclosure. Twist the compression end over the conduit; tighten the compression ring to secure.
A brass locknut is required (not included) when installing in an unthreaded knockout.
Round Adjustable-Length Shipping Tubes
Adjust these tubes by twisting the two halves. A hexagonal end prevents rolling. Use them to protect long, thin objects during shipping.
Twist-to-lock tubes can be slid up or down to adjust their length, so you don’t have to repeatedly twist the two pieces. To slide, turn the top tube into the sliding channel. To lock, turn the tube with the ridges into the grooved channel.
