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.
