What is the difference between Liquatite general-purpose and AT-type liquid-tight conduit?
Liquatite general-purpose liquid-tight flexible metal conduit is intended for typical industrial environments where protection from water, oil, and dust is required. The AT-type, such as AT-12, is a gray 3/4 in trade size conduit supplied in 100 ft coils. Both types use a flexible metal core with a liquid-tight jacket. The AT designation may indicate a specific jacket formulation or approval profile. Buyers should confirm the exact jacket material, temperature range, and approval listing for the intended application by referencing the manufacturer's datasheet for the specific part number.
Can Liquatite liquid-tight conduit be used in washdown or outdoor applications?
Liquatite liquid-tight flexible metal conduit is designed to protect conductors from liquid ingress and is commonly used in washdown areas, outdoor equipment, and other wet locations when installed with appropriate liquid-tight fittings. The jacket resists water, oils, and coolants, and the flexible metal core provides mechanical protection. For outdoor or washdown use, verify the temperature rating and chemical compatibility of the specific jacket material with the cleaning agents or fluids present. Proper installation, including tightening fittings to the recommended torque and supporting the conduit per code, is necessary to maintain the liquid-tight integrity of the system.
