Liquid tight flexible conduit basics
Liquid-tight flexible metal conduit (Type LFMC) in outward appearance resembles its close relative, liquid-tight flexible nonmetallic conduit (LFNC). Both have smooth gray outer jackets that are liquid tight. Type LFMC has an inner steel armor, which makes it stronger and less vulnerable to kinking. Either of these raceways can be formed in gentle curves to […]
