Flexible conduit are used to connect to motors or other devices where isolation from vibration is useful, or where an excessive number of fittings would be needed to use rigid connections. Not only that, flexible conduits can also solve the problems found within wiring and pipeline constructions.
If you consider using flexible metal conduit to install the wire in your home, it is important to understand what different types of conduits you can choose, such as Liquid Tight Flexible Steel Conduit, Plastic Flexible Conduit, Flexible Metal Conduit, Flexible Tubing, Flexible Shielding Conduit and many more.
Many people are still confused about the differences between Flexible Metal Conduit and Flexible Metal Tubing since both of them are also types of flexible conduits. Flexible Metal Conduit (FMC) is made by the helical coiling of a self-interlocked ribbed strip of aluminum or steel, forming a hollow tube through which wires can be pulled. Flexible metal conduit is often used in commercial buildings since it is used as an equipment grounding conductor. Commonly, FMC is used in dry places where it would be difficult to install emergency medical technician (EMT) or other non-flexible conduit where metallic strength to protect conductors is still required. Flexible Metallic Conduit can be used on a wide scope of application, such as lightning, communications, electrical room, the fire alarm system, and many more.
Flexible Metal Tubing (FMT) is different from flexible metal conduit since FMT is a raceway, but not a conduit. It only comes in 1/2" and 3/4" trade sizes, whereas FMC is sized around 1/2" to 4" trade sizes. Flexible metal tubing does not maintain any permanent bend and can flex freely. It can also be used in a wide range of applications, such as lighting, communications, air conditioning systems, fire alarm systems and so on.
