Flexible conduit fitting

The patented Flexicon Ultra fitting combines a number of class leading performance criteria. Its all round teeth provide 360o strength to provide the strongest tensile strength available of up to 70Kg and the highest levels of anti-vibration and shock protection performance tested to EN 613373 Cat 2. The integrated sealing technology delivers an IP rating of 66, 67, 68 and 69.

Unusually for such a high performance fitting, Flexicon Ultra has a one-piece construction making it easier to assemble with simpler standard operating procedures and fewer parts and components to manage through inventory. It takes less than three seconds to fit using a simple push and twist connection to the conduit.

Flexicon’s sales and marketing director, Tim Creedon, says:  “There are a number of machine building and industrial installations where the loss of power or data could have serious consequences resulting in downtime, loss of revenue and possible penalty clauses from customers demanding just in time delivery.

“In fact as industry moves towards a more sophisticated data driven environment, with the advent of industry 4.0, then cable protection and its secure interface with equipment is absolutely vital.

“Cabling can face multiple hazards, that might include water ingress due to equipment washdown, exposure to oil, grease and chemicals, impact resistance, abrasion and many more.  Combining a high performance fitting with the correct flexible conduit will protect the cabling and minimise the risk of failure. It secures long-term connectivity for OEMs integrating intelligent devices and products into their equipment.  Such reliability will help enhance their brand reputation.

“When you look at all of the performance criteria for Flexicon Ultra, there is no other fitting currently available that can match it. We think that it is the first time that such a fit and forget connection has existed from a one-piece construction. It is the world’s best conduit fitting.”

Flexicon Ultra is tamper proof, but can be removed using a screwdriver if required. It is available as a straight, elbow, UNEF or flange with both male and female thread options for use with fine and coarse pitch corrugated nylon conduits.
