Liquatite® Type LA Delivers Superior UV Protection

Roselle, IL – Electri-Flex Company, a leading manufacturer of flexible Liquatite® conduit, announces that its Type LA UL-listed, jacketed metallic steel conduit offers industry-leading protection in outdoor, sun-exposed environments.

Type LA conduit has undergone rigorous laboratory testing, performing UL360 accelerated UV aging tests to evaluate the durability of its jacketing materials. The results demonstrate exceptional performance. Type LA’s gray jacketing proved UV resistance up to four times longer than the standard UL360 test duration, while its black jacketing outperformed expectations, delivering UV protection that lasts up to five times longer than the UL360 benchmark. Type LA maintains its integrity, flexibility, and protective properties even after prolonged UV exposure, making it the recommended choice for outdoor applications requiring the highest level of UV resistance and long-term performance.

Type LA is a UL-listed, CSA-certified “Heavy-Duty” flexible steel conduit, providing outstanding protection against wet and oily conditions. It is ideal for nearly any outdoor installation that requires a liquidtight, flexible raceway. Type LA is BABA compliant, WEEE and RoHS compliant, and CE certified. Its standard colors include machine tool gray and black, with other colors available upon request.
