Pliable electrical conduit resists vibration

Covered pliable electrical conduit is a hand bendable system, which retains its shape once bent into the desired position, and is ideal for static applications with limited vibration.
Kopex International's LS1 Covered Pliable Electrical Conduit provides an all round solution for a large number of general applications. This hand bendable system, which retains its shape once bent into the desired position, is ideal for static applications with limited vibration such as power supplies, switchgear units, starters, generators and pumps. Now, in response to the increased demand for safety, Kopex offers a low acid covering on this conduit range that also provides increased flame retardancy.

The LS1 Low Acid PVC has offers an ingress protection IP66 and 67 rating, which means it can be used in demanding environments such as machine tools and heavy industry.

Mechanical strength is also a key feature, giving very high protection against damage from physical impact and providing a high pull off rating.

With the ability to screen against interference from RFI, EMI and EMP, LS1 helps in compliance with current EMC Directives.

LS1 Low Acid PVC, with a C12 connector, screens to 74dB at 1MHz providing valuable protection to critical plant and appliances.

Conduits and fittings across a range of sizes and materials are available thus ensuring the optimum solution for any requirement.

There are two connector types: the C12 is constructed from aluminium and is a simple to use, easy to fit general purpose connector.

For heavy duty requirements the C14, constructed from zinc plated steel, provides an extra degree of screening for areas where interference is a problem.
