Product Details
Alflex® Type RWA (Reduced Wall Aluminum) Flexible Metal Conduit is designed for multiple applications including installations in environmental air-handling spaces per NEC® 300.22(C), power and lighting branch circuit conductors and cables connecting receptacles, luminaires, equipment, and office partitions, as well as serving as a metal raceway for wires and cables per NEC® (ANSI/NFPA-70) Article 348. It accommodates motor feeder, branch, and control circuit conductors and cables, Class 1, Class 2, Class 3 remote-control, signaling, and power-limited circuit conductors, and fire alarm system conductors of both power-limited and non-power-limited types. The conduit also supports voice, data, communications, and video cables including CATV and optical fiber cables, and is suitable for concealed or exposed installations per NEC® Article 348. Additionally, it is applicable for elevators, hoistways, and escalators as specified in NEC® 620.21, and functions as a grounding conductor for lengths up to 6 feet (20A max) per 2005 NEC® 250.118(5). The conduit is also compliant with electric sign and outline lighting regulations per NEC® 600.7, 600.31 (1000 volts or less), and 600.32 (>1000 volts), and can be used in hazardous locations, Class 1, Div. 2, for flexible connectors as per the NEC® 501.10(B)(2) & 501.30(B). It is UL listed per UL 1, Standard for Safety for Flexible Metal Conduit, ANSI/UL-1, meets federal specification WW-C-566C, and has a NEC type designation under Article 348, Type FMC (Flexible Metal Conduit). The conduit is manufactured with a lightweight, high-strength aluminum alloy, with a metal strip that is helically formed into continuously interlocked flexible metal conduit, capable of withstanding impact and crushing forces.
