Flexicon guide features 350 new products plus technical advice

Flexicon has made it easier to specify cable protection with its new products guide. It includes more than 350 new products and has an expanded technical content section.

Flexicon guide features 350 new products plus technical advice

Colin Legg, marketing manager for Flexicon, says: "Cable protection selection is critical. Specifiers and installers need to consider a number of different hazards to get it right. Depending on the installation, factors such as IP ratings, pull off characteristics, corrosion resistance, low fire hazard, compression strength, abrasion resistance, weight and fatigue life could be important."

The new guide includes details of 52 different non-metallic and metallic flexible conduit systems. To assist with specification it has easy-to-use selection and application guides, with fold-out pages, to help you match different conduits with their appropriate fittings and a section where it details which conduit systems are typically used by different industries.

New products of particular note in the 11th Edition include an expanded hazardous area range, new low fire hazard liquid-tight conduits and a new food grade conduit system.

Legg says: "Over the last few years the variety of different flexible conduit systems has expanded hugely. This means that cable protection can be closely geared to the hazards that they face, but it can also be harder to make the correct specification. Our challenge is to make this specification a simple as possible."

Flexicon's new 116-page guide also contains more technical advice than before detailing cable carrying capacity, ingress protection, cutting and assembly guidance, resistance to different chemicals, and low fire hazard performance.

The cable protection product guide is available in print or online on the company's new website www.flexicon.uk.com.
