Product Line Overview
- Type LA-SS (formerly LTSS) – A flexible stainless-steel UL listed liquidtight conduit, offering protection against sunlight (UV), and wet, oily conditions. Ideal for industrial-grade installations requiring motion, vibration, and bending, and is also listed for direct burial.
- Type ATLA-SS (formerly ATSS) – Designed for extreme hot or cold environments, this UL listed conduit features a specially formulated PVC jacket that stays flexible at low temperatures and resists aging at high temperatures. It is flame retardant, sunlight (UV) resistant, and is suitable for direct burial. Working temperatures: -55°C through 105°C Dry / 60°C Wet / 70°C Oil.
- Type ZHLA-SS (formerly ZHSS) – A UL listed low smoke, zero-halogen, low fire hazard solution for environments requiring limited toxic material release, such as subways, tunnels and public spaces. Meets ASTM E162 (Flame Spread), ASTM E662 (Smoke Generation), Bombardier SMP800-C (Toxic Gas Generation), and is NFPA130 approved. Resistant to chemicals, oils, and sunlight (UV).
- Type LAFG-SS (formerly LSSFG) – An antimicrobial, NSF-certified, UL listed conduit designed food processing and sanitary environments. Made with a flexible, FDA-approved PVC compound suitable for “splash zone” food and beverage contact, and meeting FDA CFR21 and NSF 51/61 requirements. It is flame retardant, and is resistant to oils, mild acids, and sunlight (UV).
- Type ATX-SS (formerly ATXSS) – A non-UL liquidtight stainless steel flexible conduit designed to withstand an extreme temperature range. Its UV stabilized, halogen-free, and offers a flame rating of UL94-HB. Working temperatures: -60°C through 150°C Intermitting to 165°C.
