Galvanised Steel PVC Covered Flexible Conduit for Cable Protection
Galvanised Steel PVC Covered Conduit (DFC) is a flexible, helically wound metal conduit designed for the protection of electrical wiring. Manufactured from galvanised steel with a black low smoke and fume (LSF) PVC coating, it provides good mechanical strength, high crush resistance and a degree of weather protection.
Suitable for outdoor cable protection, under-floor wiring, factory wiring, OEM machinery, rail infrastructure, lighting, cable tracks and CCTV installations.
Temp Range: -25°C to +75°C
IP Rating: IP65 (Conduit) / IP54 (Conduit Plus Fittings)
DFC Galvanised Steel PVC Covered Conduit provides a flexible and durable solution for protecting electrical wiring across a range of industrial, commercial and general-purpose applications.
The conduit is manufactured from helically coiled galvanised steel using a non-packed squarelock construction. A black low smoke and fume (LSF) vacuum-formed PVC coating is applied as standard, with other colours available on request.
The combination of the galvanised steel construction and PVC covering provides good mechanical strength, high crush resistance, a very good bend radius and a degree of weather protection.

Construction
DFC is a flexible metal conduit manufactured from helically coiled galvanised steel and protected by a low smoke and fume (LSF) PVC covering.
Non-packed flexible conduit with a squarelock section
Manufactured from annealed steel strip to BS.1449 Part 1 1972, in accordance with DIN Standard 49012
Black low smoke and fume (LSF) vacuum-formed PVC coating supplied as standard
Alternative PVC coating colours are available on request
The PVC covering combines with the galvanised steel construction to provide a flexible conduit with good mechanical strength, high crush resistance, a very good bend radius and a degree of weather protection.
Manufacturing Tolerances: All conduits are manufactured to ID sizes with tolerances of +0.5mm / -0.5mm.
Manufacturing Tolerances – All conduits are manufactured to ID sizes, tolerances are + 0.5mm, – 0.5mm
