Installed by electrical contractors, ENGIE INEO UK, the nylon (PA6) corrugated flexible conduit offered an ideal solution for protecting the building\u2019s entire electrical cabling.<\/p>\n
Flexicon has worked with ENGIE INEO on numerous projects and has always recommended its FPAS range, due to its quick and convenient install and excellent fire safety properties.<\/p>\n
The FPAS conduit system offers superior fatigue life, with high impact strength and crush resistance.\u00a0 Of particular benefit to this project, which required significant lengths of cabling to be installed in the cavity walls, was the flexible nature of the conduit as opposed to a rigid system. This enabled the electricians to navigate easily around any obstructions in the wall and conduit ends could also be left exposed for the contractor to complete the works and then wired and fixed afterwards.<\/p>\n
In addition, any design changes were easily accommodated during the build, as the conduit design makes it easy to move and reposition.<\/p>\n

It also releases no toxic fumes in the event of a fire and is halogen free with low-smoke properties.<\/p>\n
