Anamet Electrical, Inc. is a leading manufacturer and supplier of flexible metal conduit systems. We distribute our flexible metal conduit around the world. Our partners in Canada and Europe work with us to manufacture and deliver UL-approved liquid tight flexible metal conduit systems. Furthermore, application of in-house capabilities and years of expertise meet and exceed needs for electrical safety solutions.

Our flexible metal conduit adheres to the safety standards of the National Fire Prevention Association (NFPA), National Electrical Code (NEC), Underwriters’ Laboratories (UL) and Canadian Standards Association (CSA). We also offer flexible conduit fittings in different materials to safely connect conduits. 

Types of Flexible Metal Conduit

Since 1908, our company has designed and manufactured flexible metal conduit to protect wiring where it was installed.

We offer three flexible metal conduit types::

• Flexible Metallic Conduit (FMC): The most common style of metal conduit (also called Flex or Greenfield) is made of aluminum or galvanized steel strip. This strip is coiled tightly so the leading and trailing edges of the strip engage and interlock. Even though it is not watertight, this conduit protects wiring from dust and metal particles. The spring-like appearance of the wound metal strip makes the conduit flexible and crush resistant. 

• Extra Flexible Metal Conduit: We offer Type DE-710 and Type DSL extra flexible metal conduit to meet industrial needs. These conduit types are roll formed for superior flexibility and durability in yellow brass, stainless steel or other metals. An ovalized variant is available for protecting wiring in confined spaces such as medical and office furniture. Since 1956, our industrial partners installed this conduit to protect their electrical and mechanical control equipment. 

• Liquid Tight Flexible Metal Conduit (LFMC): This  flexible metallic liquid tight conduit has different coil shapes, with or without fiber or wire packing. A liquid tight polymer jacket is extruded over this conduit to protect wiring from corrosion and moisture. LFMC is similar to FMC, but it is encased in plastic, for a liquid tight seal when installed with correct fittings. The conduit coat, durability and corrosion resistance make this conduit an ideal choice for outdoor use or ground burial.

Different Applications for Flexible Metal Conduit 

Flexible metal conduit is installed according to national safety codes, protecting wiring from exposure, abuse or intrusion. Conduit is commonly found in places such as the following:

• Outdoors and underground: Liquid tight conduit is recommended for protecting wiring from moisture, dirt and corrosive materials.

• Exposed and concealed public areas: Flexible metal conduit is installed to meet safety code, preventing accidental damage to electrical wiring. Conduit protects wiring between junction boxes, elevators, escalators, wheelchair lifts, motors, machine controls and communications, security, surveillance and air conditioning equipment. 

• Manufacturing locations: Flexible metal conduit protects workers and machinery from exposure to electric shock. You can choose among FMC or LFMC types, depending on code requirements and your manufacturing environment. Select among conduit types made to resist high heat, extreme chill, ionizing radiation, radio interference, abrasion, vibration, repetitive motion, soap, detergent, dust, moisture or corrosive atmosphere. 

• Industrial machinery: Flexible metal conduit and liquid tight flexible metal conduit protect cables, wiring or optical fiber to sustain machine productivity. Conduit protects critical control circuits from accident, vibration and crushing force. 

• Data centers and computer networks: Liquid tight flexible metal conduit is tested and approved to protect data cables installed in buildings, outdoors or under ground. Where data needs to be secured, liquid tight flexible metal conduit protects wiring from intrusion and abuse.

Industrial Stripwound Hose Available at Anamet Electrical

Our stripwound hose is ideal for industrial use, made to meet and exceed customers’ needs.

We manufacture two types of industrial stripwound metal hose:

• Square Lock (SL) Stripwound Hose: The square lock stripwound hose is available in stainless steel, galvanized steel, yellow brass and aluminum. Our type 316 stainless steel hose is time tested to resist corrosion most effectively. Convolution packing, protective metal wire braid and extruded PVC, silicone, polyurethane, and thermoplastic elastic  jackets provide protection that surpasses the limitations of bare metal hose.

• Full Interlock (UI)  Stripwound Hose: Our full interlock (UI) stripwound hose,  is available in galvanized steel, aluminum, stainless steel, bronze and yellow brass. The interlocked features of this hose enable impressive resistance to crushing force and twisting. Stainless steel hoses also offer corrosion and high-temperature resistance. Metal braid may be applied to this hose, but packing cannot fit in the convolutions of this hose. A variety of extruded polymer jackets are also available to seal this hose from moisture or dust intrusion. This hose was originally called capillary armor, manufactured to protect capillary tubes in mercury-based thermostat and steam control systems.

Various Applications for the Stainless Steel Stripwound Hose

Stripwound metal hose flexibly protects its contents.

Other applications & benefits of our stripwound metal hose in industrial settings:

• Harsh environments: Our stainless steel stripwound metal hose is designed to withstand environments that can cause corrosion. Furthermore, it can resist high temperatures to +232°C or  450°F max.

• Durable safety: The consistently circular cross section of the stripwound metal hose resisting crushing force, and in vacuum or low-pressure environments, it maintains its shape, preventing collapse and damage to wiring. 

• Flexible usage: This flexible hose can go around corners and fit in confined spaces more effectively than rigid conduit. This flexible hose bends, extends and compresses as needed. Due to the spiral configuration of the hose, threaded fittings can be wound onto the hose. Cord grips can also be installed on the hose to provide a reliable connection. You do not need a special flange or collar to install it. 

• Non-ferrous options: Non-ferrous metal stripwound hose such as yellow brass, bronze and aluminum hose avoid striking sparks. Bronze hose provides EMP and EMI shielding, depending on the configuration.

Securing your electrical components is imperative to prevent cable failure and damage in industrial settings where the environments are incredibly harsh and unforgiving. To ensure optimal performance, you should use protection components designed to protect the cables from abrasive elements.

At ANAMET Electrical, Inc., we offer quality cord grips that ensure tight connections and security. We strive to provide durable protective components and conduit to connect and protect our customers' products and projects.

Understanding Cord Grips

Cord grips are commonly found in industrial and commercial settings where electric cables and wires must be connected securely. These components offer extra protection from water, dust, and other environmental elements, ideal for dry and wet applications.

Another benefit of using these components is preventing cable damage and failure caused by over-tightening or loose connections. Furthermore, they're also designed to protect the cable itself from abrasion and wear due to repeated pulling and bending.

Other benefits of using cord grips: 

• Protect cables from stress and damage as they run through equipment panels
• Prevent cables from being pulled out of a system
• Relieve stress and strain on the connection and equipment circuitry
• It provides earth grounding when used with an armored cable
• Offers an appropriate level of resistance for tension or holding force
• Provides a reliable termination for bare metal conduit or hose

Due to these features, these cable components have been used in many industries. 

ANAMET Electrical, Inc. Cord Grips

Our technological abilities enabled us to design and produce high-quality cord grips that are second to none. They're made with a versatile gripping solution. Two nesting sleeves allow a fitting to provide a range of grip diameters.

Each cord grip comes with two clamping seals. The outer seal fits over the inner seal, providing a firm grip.
