Nylon conduit protects sensitive
electronics
EMC screening is becoming a necessity in an increasing number of applications, particularly in the rail industry.
Flexicon has introduced a range of nylon corrugated braided conduit with EMC (electromagnetic compatibility) screening EMC screening is becoming a necessity in an increasing number of applications, particularly in the rail industry and in buildings where electromagnetic interference can compromise the performance of complex and sensitive equipment and data cabling systems

Conduit fittings meet IP69K
Flexicon's FPAX range of nylon-moulded conduit fittings has achieved the ingress protection rating IP69K - proving resistance to high pressure water or steam jets.
Flexicon has integrated its nylon corrugated conduit with metallic over-braid and metallic fittings.
Nylon conduit is very simple to use.
It can be easily bent and manoeuvred and it's suitable for awkward installations where bend radii may be an issue.
It's also long-lasting, lightweight, very easy to cut to length and available with high IP ratings.
A choice of tinned copper and stainless steel over-braid is available, with either fixed or swivel nickel-plated brass fittings, providing four different options.
Tinned copper over-braid provides a very high level of EMC screening, whereas the stainless steel over-braid offers a good level of EMC screening but is also robust, providing high mechanical strength and a high level of resistance against abrasion, corrosion and vandalism.
Both the tinned copper and stainless steel versions have an elastomeric compression seal, so are fully liquid tight to IP67.
