Carlon Flex-Plus Electrical Non-Metallic Tubing
Carlon Flex-Plus Electrical Non-Metallic Tubing (ENT) and accessories from Thomas & Betts require less time to install than traditional conduit systems, enabling savings in labor and cost.
Available in Carlon Blue, the non-metallic flexible raceway is designed for use in walls, floor and non-plenum ceilings. Carlon Flex-Plus ENT is lightweight, flexible (it can be bent by hand) and free of sharp edges, all of which reduce the time required for installation. “Quick Connect” accessories also contribute to reduced installation time.
“Carlon Flex-Plus ENT enables the installer to use one continuous length from box to box, which eliminates the need for couplings,” said Dave Maccarone, product manager for Thomas & Betts. “Also, since it can be bent by hand, it eliminates the need for benders and separate elbows. Carlon Flex-Plus ENT is also easier to pull wire through. Field tests show that it takes only a minute and a half to push three no. 12 wires through 40 feet of half-inch ENT with the equivalent of four 90-degree bends.”
Compliant with Article 362 of the National Electrical Code (NEC), Carlon Flex-Plus ENT is also approved for use in non-load-bearing wall assemblies with one- and two-hour fire-resistive ratings, as well as load-bearing wall assemblies with two-hour fire-resistive ratings. Accessories include adapters, couplings, mud box assemblies, stub downs, and outlet and switch boxes, several of which are exclusive to the Carlon brand. Carlon Flex-Plus ENT is available in yellow, for communication circuits and signaling cable; in red, for fire alarm circuits; and blue, for power circuits.
Carlon Flex-Plus ENT and accessories provide a complete system of flexible, non-metallic corrugated raceway, boxes and accessories that are ideal for concrete-encased applications for routing power and communications cabling in slab walls, non-plenum ceilings and floors.
