Only the highest quality electrical conduit will ensure that cables are protected from the liquids as well as from physical impact.
For these needs Kopex International offers its Liquid Tight electrical conduit.
This superior grade of stainless steel conduit, with a polymer outer sleeve can be used extensively because of its rugged construction, reliable sealing, resistance to movement and vibration as well as ease of use.
Reliability is paramount in high-speed food packaging plants, for example, because downtime is extremely costly in terms of lost production.
The conduit is available in various diameters, up to 40 and 50mm for higher-rated power cables.
Most connections are made via straight fittings, though 90 deg and 45 deg fittings can also used where space is restricted.
The conduit, Type LT-T stainless corrosion resistant, can also withstand moisture and cold environments, whilst in some operational areas elevated temperatures may also be experienced.
Because of the high specification of the Liquid Tight products, the same grade of conduit and fittings can be used for many different applications, which reduces stockholding and avoids problems arising due to an inappropriate product being used.
Kopex International Limited has been manufacturing and supplying highly engineered solutions for the protection of electrical cables since 1947.
The company has become a recognised authority in all aspects of conduit system specification, design and manufacture.
The company prides itself on providing quality and performance, problem solving and full approvals for high specification specialist solutions.
Their rigorous quality standards and a dedicated development programme ensure not only the highest specification and reliability, but also the most cost effective solutions.
