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:
-
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.
