Part of the Zero-Halogen Flexible Conduit Family.
Non-halogen, low smoke, and low flame spread make Type ZHLA a proven choice for applications where limiting toxic materials of combustion are an important issue. Since ZHLA is also UL listed, it is ideal for field installation in confined, public areas such as subways, tunnels, etc.
