Flexible conduit fittings are used to connect, secure, and terminate flexible conduit systems in electrical installations where movement, vibration, or tight routing conditions exist. These fittings support reliable connections while allowing flexibility in conduit runs that rigid systems cannot accommodate.

At ATEK Distribution, we supply flexible conduit fittings designed for use with liquid-tight and non-liquid-tight flexible conduit systems. These fittings are commonly specified in commercial and industrial environments where equipment movement, vibration, or environmental exposure requires adaptable conduit solutions.

Types of Flexible Conduit Fittings

Flexible conduit systems rely on specific fitting types to maintain secure connections while allowing conduit movement. Common flexible conduit fitting types include:

Liquid-Tight Flexible Conduit Fittings

Liquid-tight flexible conduit fittings are designed to provide a sealed connection that helps protect electrical conductors from moisture, dust, and contaminants. These fittings are commonly used in outdoor, washdown, and industrial environments.

Non-Liquid-Tight Flexible Conduit Fittings

Non-liquid-tight flexible conduit fittings are used in indoor applications where flexibility is required but environmental sealing is not necessary. These fittings support efficient conduit routing in confined or dynamic spaces.

Metallic and Non-Metallic Flexible Fittings

Flexible conduit fittings are available in metallic and non-metallic configurations to support grounding requirements, corrosion resistance, and application-specific performance needs.

Applications of Flexible Conduit Fittings

Equipment connections subject to vibration or movement
HVAC systems and mechanical equipment wiring
Industrial machinery and automation systems
Outdoor and washdown environments (liquid-tight systems)
Installations requiring flexible routing in tight spaces

Benefits of Flexible Conduit Fittings

Support conduit movement without compromising connections
Available for liquid-tight and non-liquid-tight systems
Suitable for metallic and non-metallic flexible conduit
Improve reliability in dynamic installation environments

Selecting the Right Flexible Conduit Fittings

When selecting flexible conduit fittings, consider conduit type, trade size, environmental exposure, and installation conditions. Proper selection helps maintain system integrity and extends service life.

Confirm conduit type (LFMC, LFNC, or other flexible systems)
Select liquid-tight fittings where moisture protection is required
Match fitting size to conduit trade size
Consider grounding and material requirements
Install according to applicable electrical codes
