Flexible Metallic Conduit
Flexible metal conduit (FMC) is a great choice for both indoor and outdoor electrical wiring and burial underground applications, but you have to ensure the correct type of flexible metal conduit is used to offer the optimum protection and safety. At Tricksall.works, we offer a range for all electrical wiring setups, featuring our best-selling flexible conduit sizes: 20mm, 25mm, and 32mm in stainless steel, PVC-coated steel, galvanised steel, and liquid-tight metallic conduits. Additionally, we provide these conduits in sizes ranging from 10mm up to 100mm, and conduit coil lengths ranging from 1 meter up to 50 meters! You'll discover a vast selection of steel conduit accessories to ensure a safe and professional finish for your wiring project. This includes metal conduit fittings, glands, and connectors, available in both fixed and swivel types. We also offer a full range of conduit couplers, metal clips, and more. If you are in need of a high-temperature flexible conduit, explore our galvanised steel range with a temperature range of -50°C to +300°C. This metal conduit is resistant to corrosion and chemicals. For even more extreme temperatures, consider our stainless steel conduit range, which boasts a temperature range of -50°C to +600°C. Like the galvanised steel conduit, it is resistant to corrosion and chemicals. Both conduits have an ingress rating of IP40, making them perfectly suited for dry environments. If you need a flexible metal conduit for external wiring, consider our PVC-coated steel range. It offers an ingress rating of IP54, is highly flexible, resistant to corrosion and chemicals, and provides the added advantage of UV protection and weatherproofing, thanks to the PVC coating We also offer a 100% waterproof conduit, if this is what you require take a look at our liquid tight metallic range with an ingress rating of IP67.

What is a flexible conduit?A flexible conduit is a protective tubing used to cover electrical cables. Its flexible design allows it to bend easily around corners and tight spaces, making it ideal for protecting wiring in both residential and industrial applications. Flexible conduits can be made from materials like plastic or metal, offering durability, protection from environmental factors, and ease of installation.
-
Can flexible conduit be used outdoors?Yes, flexible conduit can be used outdoors. It is designed to protect electrical cables from moisture, UV rays, and harsh weather conditions. For outdoor use, choose conduits made from durable materials like PVC, nylon or pvc covered steel, which offer added resistance to corrosion and environmental damage.
-
Can I bury flexible conduit?Yes, you can bury flexible conduit, but it must be rated for underground use. Look for conduits specifically designed for burial, like those made from PVC spiral reinforced or liquid tight metal, which provide protection against moisture, pressure, and soil conditions.

How to pull wire through flexible conduitYou can also use our pre-installed draw cord flexible conduit for easier wire installation, available in 20mm, 25mm, and 32mm sizes. Alternatively, to pull wire through flexible conduit, start by feeding a fish tape or pulling string through the conduit. Securely attach your wires to the tape or string, then gently pull them through, guiding the wires to prevent twisting or snagging.
-
What is the most common use of flexible conduit?The most common use of flexible conduit is to protect electrical wiring in areas where regular movement, bending, or vibration occurs. It’s widely used in homes, commercial buildings, and industrial settings to shield cables from physical damage while allowing easy routing through tight spaces.
