Available from specialist distributor Switchtec, are a range of fl exible conduit, glands and accessories manufactured by DKC.
DKC’s flexible galvanised steel conduit systems extensively protect electrical power, lighting and data cable from impact, vibration, movement, corrosion, and water ingress.
The galvanised steel core is helically wound and manufactured using DKC’s reinforced internal locking mechanism, manufactured to tight tolerances ensuring a smooth core for easy pulling of cables. This unique mechanism gives the DKC flexible conduit excellent mechanical protection properties, yet can be flexed past the splitting point of many other solutions available on the market. The galvanised steel maintains electrical continuity and is vacuum coated in tough flame retardant black or grey PVC which is resistant to most common oils and greases.
The flexible conduit is also available in plain galvanised steel, with EVA or polyurethane coverings which are halogen free, low smoke and low toxicity. The DKC steel flexible conduit systems perform in a wide variety of harsh environmental conditions including extremes of temperature, dust, salinity, and UV.
The DKC flexible conduit provides high mechanical protection from impact and water ingress. It is rated to IP54 when used in conjunction with the DKC nickle plated brass straight fixed glands. However, if coupled with DKC’s Max IP range of nickle plated brass glands, the IP rating can be increased to IP69.
To complement the range is DKC patented “Rapid Fit” Quick Connect Coupling, which is an innovative jointing system allowing the fast, easy and reliable connection between flexible steel conduit and rigid steel pipe conduit.
The connection is made within seconds and the joint itself can guarantee an ingress protection of IP67. It removes the necessity to have to thread or bend Pipe conduit, a time consuming process in traditional installations.
