Question About Electrical Flexible Pipes

Because of the deeper corrugations, the one on the left might allow for a smaller bending radius. But one would need to see the compared specs to really judge.

Which one is better? What are the requirements??

The link is quite good but it is not what the OP wants.

The requirement is just for general application. Dont't take it too simple or too complicate. If you used to do that, suggest it.

There are at least several reasons for the manufacturer provides suck kinds of conduits.

Some of your questions erk me. How can we look at a picture and make a recommendation without knowing anything about the intended use.

And, you are the OP.

go for economic one

i suppose if i had to choose i would choose the most flexable one that seems to be the flex just to the left side of the braided steel one. on the other hand if i had a choice (im sorry the illusion of choice) haha! i would go for nonmetallic flex so it could be squashed and flexed millions of times over without shorting out. in short the point were making is "what is it being used for?" whats the application man?

The one to the right, go for strength every time.

If it's to go in to a production area you have to take the "Ivan" factor in to account. I ran a cable through a 3" steam pipe embedded in concrete, Ivan broke it!

Also as lyn said can we have some context to questions please.

For anyone interested here's the manufacturer's homepage: http://www.delikon.com/index.html

The question can't be answered without knowing the application and environmental conditions.

The clear answer is number 4. You figure out if I meant from the left or right. I did say the answer was clear, and the clear answer is usually the best. Unless it fails to disclose pertinent facts. Hope this helps. Thanks for contributing.

The two on the left are general purpose seal tight and are used in most applications because they do the job and are more economical. Of the two on the left the second from the left has a sweeping bend and is easier to pull wire through. The three on the right appear to be braided stainless steel and are used in my experience only for explosion proof applications because of code and cost.

One of the key reasons why electrical conductors are put inside a conduit or piping is to protect their insulations from any un-intended mechanical destructions and the metallic type also serve as a shield for any unwanted electrical noise.

Buy the one that's on sale.
