Woods 55094221 25-Feet Ultratite-Type NM 1/2-Inch Non-Metallic Liquid Tight Flexible Conduit; Gray

Description

Product Overview

The Woods 55094221 Ultratite‑type NM conduit is a 25‑foot roll of 1/2‑inch diameter, non‑metallic, liquid‑tight flexible tubing engineered for the most demanding electrical installations. Manufactured by Southwire, a trusted name in electrical solutions, this conduit combines a rugged, UV‑resistant gray jacket with a smooth interior that minimizes friction, allowing electricians to pull wires quickly and with minimal effort. The conduit is rated for 120 V systems and can operate safely in temperatures ranging from –30 °C to 80 °C, making it suitable for both temperate and extreme climates. Its construction resists water, oil, chemicals, abrasives, mineral acids, petroleum products, and salt spray, ensuring long‑term performance in wet, outdoor, and direct‑burial applications. The product dimensions are 11.25″ × 11.25″ per roll, weighing approximately 3 pounds, and it complies with industry standards for liquid‑tight flexible conduits.

Usage

This conduit excels in environments where moisture, chemicals, and temperature fluctuations are common. It is ideal for residential outdoor lighting, commercial building façade wiring, industrial plant equipment, and utility pole installations. The UV‑resistant jacket protects the conduit from sun‑induced degradation, while the liquid‑tight design prevents ingress of water, oil, and corrosive gases, making it perfect for underground feeder lines, irrigation system wiring, and direct‑burial conduit runs. Installers appreciate the flexibility of the tubing, which can be bent around obstacles without compromising the integrity of the protective jacket. The smooth interior reduces the pulling force required for multi‑core cables, decreasing installation time and labor costs. Whether you are completing a new construction project or retrofitting an existing system, this conduit provides a reliable pathway for electrical conductors in harsh conditions.

FAQ

What types of wires can be installed in this conduit?

The conduit is compatible with standard NM, UF, and THHN/THWN‑2 conductors, as well as liquid‑tight fittings designed for LFNC‑B applications. It can accommodate multiple conductors as long as the fill does not exceed the NEC‑specified limits for a 1/2‑inch diameter conduit.

Can this conduit be used for direct burial?

Yes, the Ultratite‑type NM conduit is rated for direct‑burial installations. Its robust jacket and liquid‑tight seal protect the wires from soil moisture, chemicals, and mechanical damage when buried up to the depth required by local codes.

Is the conduit suitable for indoor use?

While the product is optimized for outdoor and wet locations, it can also be used indoors where a flexible, liquid‑tight pathway is needed, such as in utility rooms, basements, or areas prone to moisture.

How does the conduit handle temperature extremes?

The material composition maintains flexibility and structural integrity from –30 °C to 80 °C. This range covers most climate conditions, ensuring the conduit does not become brittle in cold weather or soften excessively in high heat.

What accessories are required for installation?

Standard liquid‑tight fittings (LFNC‑B) are recommended to terminate the conduit. These fittings provide a secure, sealed connection for the cables and maintain the conduit’s protective qualities at each junction.
