Jacketed Metallic (LFMC)

Liquidtight flexible metal conduit (LFMC) offers a sealed raceway with the strength of a metal core. Conduits range from UL-listed and CSA-certified to specialized ones designed for extreme temperatures, zero-halogen, low smoke, EMI/RFI shielding, corrosion resistance, and food-grade applications. NEC Article 350 governs LFMC installation, and the full liquidtight conduit line lists trade sizes and temperature ratings by type.

Unjacketed Metallic (FMC)

Flexible Metal Conduit (FMC), also called “Greenfield” or “Reduced Wall Flex,” is free of nonmetallic materials and offers the highest physical protection to electrical wiring. These conduits provide a flexible raceway with tight bends, high impact and crush strength, and UL and CSA certifications. NEC Article 348 governs FMC installation.

Nonmetallic (FNC)

Flexible Nonmetallic Conduit (FNC) is made without a metal core and is ideal for corrosive environments and high-flexing applications where weight might be an issue. It uses flexible and rigid PVC. This conduit offers sunlight resistance, extreme temperature tolerance, and UL and CSA certifications. NEC Article 356 governs the installation of liquidtight nonmetallic conduit.

Flexible Conduit FAQs

+
What is flexible conduit?
Flexible conduit, also called flex conduit, is an electrical raceway that bends without fittings, protecting wiring through tight turns, vibration, and equipment movement. The standard families are flexible metallic conduit in jacketed and unjacketed forms, and nonmetallic conduit for corrosive or weight-sensitive runs.
+
What size flexible conduit do I need?
Interior diameter varies by family and construction, so two conduits sharing a trade size label do not always carry the same conductor count. Our conduit fill chart lists the allowable fill area for every family on this page.
+
What certifications do Electri-Flex conduits carry?
Listings vary by product type rather than applying uniformly across the line. Most types are UL-listed and CSA-certified, and specific constructions add ratings for food contact, sunlight resistance, flame spread, and temperature range. Check the specification for the type you are considering rather than assuming a line-wide listing.
+
Is flexible metallic tubing the same as flexible conduit?
No. Flexible metallic tubing (FMT) is a separate wiring method governed by NEC Article 360. It seals against liquids without a separate outer jacket and is restricted to short branch-circuit runs in dry, concealed locations. We do not manufacture FMT. For a breakdown of how the flexible wiring methods differ, see our guide to the types of flexible conduit.
+
How do I order flexible conduit?
We manufacture and sell through a network of manufacturers’ representatives who supply authorized electrical wholesalers, so orders are placed through a distributor rather than with us directly. Find a sales representative for your area and they will route you to the right source.
