Looking to purchase some top quality wire loom tubing? Here are some recommendations and extra details helping you to make the best choice. Rigid polyvinyl chloride (PVC) is similar to plastic plumbing pipe and is installed with plastic fittings that are glued in place. It can be bent after being heated in a portable heater box. Because the conduit tubing and fittings are glued together, the conduit assemblies can be watertight, making PVC suitable for direct burial in the ground for many applications. It is also allowed in corrosive environments.
High Temp Protection (Fiberglass): This fiberglass high temp loom comes coated in a resin material that resists temperatures up to 1200°F. Other high temp options include aluminized metallic and silicone jacketed sleeving. If your wires or cable are under constant conditions with high heat such as in race cars, high temperature protection is recommended.
Conduit is metal or plastic tubing used to create a protective channel for electrical wire. The channel, along with electrical boxes and devices that join the conduit pieces, is known collectively as raceway. In a household wiring system, most of the circuit wiring is in the form of insulated cable that is run inside wall, floor and ceiling structures without conduit. Conduit typically is used only where circuit wires are exposed (or surface-mounted or buried) and therefore need protection from damage or moisture.
Flexible metallic conduit (also known as FMC) can be a practical choice for the large construction projects, for example building the underground car park. This particular conduit relies on interlocking metal coils to produce a long tube that lets the wires move through. By interlocking the individual pieces it can be possible to make a very flexible material. It really is practical to the installation protects that take place in a dry environment, but needs to be avoided if you have a risk of the water penetration. Find more info on Loom tubing.
The ID and OD means inner diameter and outer diamter of flexible conduit. OD is the maximum of flexible conduit, and is a fixed number that can not be deviated from. Flexible conduit are always corrugated inner and outer, so we’d better leave more space inner to make wires and cables easier to through. So we should leave 20% space based on inner diameter. It may sound backward but use the diameter of the conduit as a guide to the service needed. It is better to use a conduit that is too big than one that is too small.
If you’re going to protect a series of cables. I think split plastic flexible conduit is a good choice for you. Split plastic flexible conduit is split. It is easy for you to put cable in and take them out. Sometimes people will be worried about the cables will fall out from conduit. Please don’t worry about, after put all cables in, we will often use wrap tape to fix conduit. Most people know corrugated plastic flexible conduit and split plastic flexible conduit. But they know little about HDPE spiral flexible conduit. HDPE spiral flexible conduit is spiral conduit, makes it stronger and durabler than general flexible conduit. Furthermore, it can be produced in big diameter. We can produce 300mm outer diameter of HDPE spiral flexible conduit. It is nearly impossible for general flexible conduit.

Rigid metal conduit is a heavier gauge steel electrical conduit using threaded couplings and fittings and is the thickest, or stiffest of the conduit materials used for electrical wiring. A typical RMC and often the only RMC residential application is to enclose the electrical service entry wiring from the electrical company’s overhead wires at the mast-head down to the electrical panel mounted on the building wall.
