5 Overview Metallic Systems Conduit, Fittings and Accessories Range Overview Adaptaflex offers individual metallic conduit systems manufactured either in galvanized steel or stainless steel. Three different conduit types provide liquid resistance, and three additional liquidtight covered steel conduit options are able to withstand especially demanding environments. Conduit ranges from mm for CCTV/roller shutter doors and for protecting fiber optic cables to 7mm for larger cable carrying capacity. Overbraided conduits are particularly suitable for installation in abrasive environments. Where applications call for enhanced low fire hazard properties or EMI screening, there is the option of high-specification tinned copper overbraided for greater EMI protection levels. In addition, a range of fittings is specifically designed to maintain system integrity. These include fixed and swivel fittings, straights, 90, 4, and a host of accessories including locknuts, enlargers, reducers and converters. Advantages High compression/crush strength Tensile strength pull off load under tension Impact resistance Inherent fire protection on uncoated versions Corrosion-resistant, stainless steel options Braided High level EMI screening with tinned copper overbraided Greater temperature tolerances System approvals available: Conduit & Fittings Adaptaflex Metallic & Specialty Flexible Conduit Systems Ranges include: Tel: Fax: Tel: E-27

20 Conduit & Fittings Adaptaflex Metallic & Specialty Flexible Conduit Systems Accessories and Tools Cut-Vice, Rotocut and Swingcut Type Description Example Instructions Type Description Example Cut-Vice Cut-Vice offers the ability to produce a clean cut for conduit sizes 6mm to 40mm. Place the conduit along the vice body and tighten the clamp. Holding the conduit and integral handle together, insert a hacksaw blade into the guide and cut. For braided conduit, wrap adhesive tape around the cutting point to secure braid. Remove tape after cutting. Swingcut Swingcut is a versatile vice and saw combination tool which facilitates a neat, square cut for liquidtight and pliable conduits between 0mm and 2mm. Six-to-one leverage advantage provides a strong cutting action. Rotocut Rotocut offers a simple but effective method for cutting 20mm and 2mm S, SS, SP, LFH- SP and SN steel conduit types. Adjust the clamping pin so that the conduit is just held in the recess. Squeeze the lever and body while rotating the cutting blade. When the blade appears on the inside of the conduit, release the pressure and remove the conduit. A simple twist will then separate the two parts. Where the conduit is covered, the covering can be cut prior to separation. Spare blades are available. WARNING When operating these or other cutting tools, always keep hands clear of the cutting blades to avoid injury. INSTRUCTIONS Place the conduit in the vice and secure. Move the operating handle backwards and forwards while applying increasing pressure to the supporting handle. Hardened, captive springloaded retaining pins make blade replacement easy. Spare blades are available. E-286 Tel: Fax: Tel:
