General Contracting
Project lead-times are becoming shorter with clients looking to achieve faster return on investments.
Take retail for example; whilst the building is in the construction phase the store cannot trade and is
therefore not generating turnover. By using products that are quick and easy to install Contractors can
reduce construction lead-times and move on to the next project.
Systems need inherent flexibility to enable adaptations to be incorporated with ease, minimising
potential client disruption during upgrades. With increased emphasis on whole life costs consideration
to maintenance schedules and future proofing becomes more important.
Safety is of paramount importance when specifying products used in public buildings. Material
characteristics and fire performance properties should be carefully considered as well as IP rating,
vandal proofing, UV stability and EMC screening. Take a Hospital application for example; the protection
of data cabling and guaranteeing of electro-magnetic compatibility may be a matter of life and death.
Flexicon have a range of products used for cable containment for buildings, with both internal and
external solutions for countless applications and building types.
Typical Applications;
Commercial Buildings – Offices
Retail – Shops / Department stores / Shopping Centres
Education – Universities / Colleges / Schools
Healthcare – Hospitals / Primary Care Centres

Utility Services
Continuity of supply and reliability of services are paramount for Utilities. Operating conditions can often
be arduous and susceptible to vibration with the requirement for high pull off strengths. The protection
against vandalism requires strong and robust systems offering high mechanical strength.
Infrastructure
Water Treatment plants
Telecomms
Surface and underground mines and quarries
Electricity distribution and generation
Marine
Within this sector, products are typically exposed to some of the harshest operational environments.
Reliability is key with consideration to products specified and installed within this sector, due to their
exposure to particular damaging effects from the wind, wave and salt spray conditions. Other factors
such as operating temperature ranges and performance when exposed to vibration need to be
considered.

non-metallicconduit and fittings
With 18 different non metallic conduit systems to chose from there is sure to be a system
to meet your application. Available in a wide variety of sizes ranging from 10mm up to
106mm and manufactured from a range of materials offering different properties.
Non-metallic conduit systems offer a lighter weight and corrosion resistant alternative to
metallic systems. The product is typically easier to work with than metallic systems and
is highly flexible. If subjected to an impact nylon conduit will return to its original shape
due to the memory flex properties of the materials used. With IP ratings up to IP69K,
more innovation is possible with nylon injection moulded fittings.
Fittings are available with brass threads when used in heavier duty applications or where
OEM design requires a metal to metal thread.
To provide superior protection and immunity from electromagnetic interference, as well
as increased mechanical abrasion resistance, Flexicon has introduced a range of over
braided Flexible non-metallic Conduit systems that will meet your requirements and can
be found on pages 36 and 37.
The variety of colours and materials available lend themselves to more applications, with
Contractor packs offering a simple handy solution on small installations.

Example: is LTP20 suitable for five 4.0mm2 cables?
• The total cross sectional area of the conductors is 5 x 14.5mm2 = 73mm2
• The cross sectional area of LTP20 is 3.142 x [inside diameter]2 = 201mm2

• % of conduit cross sectional area 73 = 36%201
This is less than 40%; therefore this conduit is suitable for this combination of cables.

Technical guidance
Application advice
Flexicon can offer impartial advice on which out of our wide range of conduitsystems is most suited to your application. Factors which may be importantinclude:-
Technical data sheets are available for most products
Please call 01675 466900 for technical information and application advice.
Standards, performance and approvals
Flexicon conduits and fittings are manufactured by Flexicon to comply with the European conduit standard IEC EN 61386.
Certain tests are carried out internally by Flexicon, other testing is carried outexternally by accredited test laboratories. Specific test reports are available uponrequest.
Where product performance data over and above the requirements of IEC EN 61386 is provided e.g: Low Fire Hazard testing and EMC screening,other appropriate standards have been used.
Cable glands are manufactured to EN 50262.
Push button timers are manufactured to EN 60730-2-7.
Further information regarding standards and approvals can be found on page 83.
Cutting and Assembly Guidance
All non-metallic conduits and FLP up to 34mm can be easily cut with Flexiconcutters, part no. CC01. Use CC02 for sizes up to 67mm.
Metallic conduits should be cut with a fine tooth (32 TPI) hacksaw or bandsaw.Our clamping vice, part no. BSB makes the use of a hacksaw much easier.
Cutting of overbraided conduit is made much easier by wrapping self adhesivetape around the conduit and sawing through the middle of the tape. The tapeshould be removed if EMC screening is required.
Flexicon can supply bench mounted bandsaws designed to cut metallic conduiteasily.
To obtain EMC screening on pliable FLPconduit, the PVC sheath must be trimmedback prior to assembly.
Metal fittings should be nipped with grips or spanner to ensure securing and IP rating.
Face sealing washers may be required to maintain IP rating between systems.
The easiest way of installing cables into flexible and pliable conduit is tosimultaneously draw in the cables with the conduit in straight condition beforeinstallation.
Errors, omissions and amendments excepted
Information given in this catalogue is for guidance only as our policyis one of continuous development and specifications may change.Flexicon is not liable for claims arising from product misuse.

UK wiring regulations BS7671 prohibit the use of flexible or pliableconduit as an earthing conductor.
Where conduits of 40mm and above penetrate fire barriers inbuildings the wiring regulations stipulate that internal seals shouldbe used to maintain fire resistance.
To meet the UK wiring regulations conduit should be selfextinguishing unless they are to be buried or contained in noncombustible material e.g: concrete or plaster.

Low Fire Hazard (LFH) performanceLFH encompasses LSF (low smoke and fume) and LSOH (low smoke zero halogen)
Low Fire Hazard (LFH) conduit systemsare becoming an increasing part of thespecification in many cabling applications.
Public buildings, retail outlets, high rise office blocks, hospitals andtransport installations - these are just a few of the instances where LowFire Hazard products may be demanded.
Low Fire Hazard systems are required to protect personnel and property inthe event of a fire and may be demanded by specifiers, occupiers, fireservices or even insurers.
At Flexicon we define a Low Fire Hazard product by having all of thefollowing properties:
Highly flame retardant to prevent a fire or limit its developmentif one does start.
Low smoke emission in the event of a fire to enable personnel to seetheir way to escape.
Low toxicity in the event of a fire to ensure personnel are notovercome during their escape.
Halogen free gives an indication of low smoke and low toxicity. Italso rules out halogen acid gas emission - a fact that is of interest toinsurers as acid smoke can destroy computer equipment and damage thestructure of a building.
All four properties: Highly flame retardant, Low smoke,Low toxicity, Halogen free, must be present to claim LFH.
Halogen free does not assure low smoke and low toxicity.
A low smoke and fume product may not be self-extinguishing let alonehighly flame retardant. Ensure your supplier provides performance dataon all four aspects of Low Fire Hazard performance.
Full independent test reports are available on request.

Performance of Flexicon LFH products
Flame Retardancy
Limiting Oxygen Index (LOl) to BSEN ISO 4589 determines the percentageof oxygen in air that would need to be present to support combustion.The higher the percentage the greater flame retardancy.
Oxygen present in normal air 21%. The UK Code of Practice for railwayrolling stock requires 28% for overground and 34% for undergroundpassenger carriages.
UL 94 is an underwriter laboratories standard with flammabilityclassifications HB, V0, V1, V2. HB allows horizontal burning up to amaximum speed, V0 is highly flame retardant.
Smoke Density is evaluated to BS6853 annex D.8.3, Code ofPractice for fire precautions in the design and construction of passengercarrying trains. A plaque of materials is burnt in a 3 metre cubic chamber.A graph of smoke opacity against time is plotted which shows themaximum opacity (Ao) and the time taken to reach that opacity. LFHmaterials should have Ao < 0.03.
Toxic Fumes
Toxity tests such as BS6853 annexB and Naval standard NES713 burns aset amount of material and analyses the gases given off. The volume ofeach gas is multiplied by the toxicity index for each gas. The toxicityindex for each gas are added together to give an overall toxicity index forthe material.
NFF16-101/2 is a French Norm, used by railways, which gives anignition and fume rating from oxygen index, glow wire ignition, smokedensity and smoke toxicity tests.
