Type LA-SS

Part of the Stainless Steel Flexible Conduit Family.

A UL-listed, flexible stainless-steel conduit offering excellent protection against corrosion, sunlight (UV), and wet, oily conditions. Ideally suited for industrial-grade installations requiring motion, vibration, and bending.

Construction:

Inner Core:

• Corrosion-resistant continuous strip of 316L Stainless Steel
• 1/2″ – 2″ Fully Interlocked Profile

Liquidtight Jacket:

• Flexible PVC
• Resistant to Oils and Mild Acids
• Flame Retardant
• Excellent Sunlight Resistance (UV)
  • Type LA gray jacketing outperforms the UL360 UV aging test by 4 times
  • Type LA black jacketing outperforms the UL360 UV aging test by 5 times

APPLICATION:

• Formerly Type LTSS
• Machine Tools
• Corrosive Environments
• Industrial Environments
• Wet and Oily Locations
• Outdoor use due to the inherent UV resistance of PVC
