HellermannTyton, maker of commercial/industrial wire protection products, announces HelaGuard Double-Slit Corrugated Conduit. The two-piece solution features one semi-circular tube that snaps over another to envelop a wire or cable bundle. This makes it possible to add flexible corrugated protection to wiring that is already connected on both ends.
Standard conduit requires installers to guide cabling into and through the length of tubing. That is less of an issue at the time of manufacture. But if the ends of the wire are soldered to a terminal or otherwise inaccessible, non-slit conduit – and even single-slit conduit – can be tedious or impossible to apply.
“The double-slit design is ideal for installers and MRO,” says Maureen Janosch, head of product management. “A technician can lay the cable over one length of the open-sided HelaGuard product and snap the other length over it to complete the installation.”
