What type of conduit is called Liquidtight Flexible Nonmetallic Conduit?

Liquidtight Flexible Nonmetallic Conduit is identified as Type LFNC. This conduit is designed for use in areas where protection from moisture is necessary, and it offers flexibility, making it suitable for installations that require bending or adjustments in line routing. The nonmetallic nature of LFNC makes it resistant to corrosion and suitable for a wide range of environments, including outdoor applications. It is often utilized in residential, commercial, and industrial settings to protect electrical wiring from water and other elements.

Type LFMC (Liquidtight Flexible Metal Conduit) is made of metal rather than nonmetallic material and does not share the same characteristics as LFNC. EMT, or Electrical Metallic Tubing, is a type of conduit that is rigid, made of metal, and lacks the liquid-tight features present in LFNC. ENT, or Electrical Nonmetallic Tubing, while also nonmetallic, is different in terms of its construction and intended uses compared to LFNC. The distinctions among these conduit types are important for ensuring proper selection based on environmental and application requirements.
