Type HFSLA

Part of the SHIELD-FLEX® family of EMI/RFI Shielding conduits, as well as Zero-Halogen product family.

Type HFSLA is identical to standard UL Listed liquidtight flexible steel conduit (See Type LA) but is augmented with a tinned copper shielding braid located over the inner steel core and under its protective Polyurethane jacket. The braid offers a minimum of 90% coverage.

Type HFSLA liquidtight flexible shielding conduit is designed for field installations where safety concerns exist regarding a material’s reaction in a fire situation. The specially formulated thermoplastic polyurethane jacket has excellent flame retardancy and low smoke characteristics. Acidic gases such as hydrogen chloride, hydrogen fluoride and hydrogen bromide are virtually eliminated as products of combustion.
