ELQUIP Solutions’managing director, Mike
Cronin, says the Flexicon anti-static flexible
conduit systemprovides users with“flexibility
and ease of operation”.
“The LTPAS and LTPPUAS flexible conduits
can be used to avoid electrostatic charge
build-up on installed equipment, including the
surface of the conduit. This issue is particularly
prevalent when working in hazardous areas.
Both systems comply with Clause 7.4.2 of
EN600079-0, which refers to the avoidance of
a build-up of electrostatic charge on Group I or
Group II electrical equipment,”explains Cronin.
Available in sizes from 16 mm to 63 mm, this
new offering is compatible with all liquid tight
fittings including the new EXD flameproof
barrier glands.
The LTPAS liquid tight flexible conduit
system is PVC-coated, with a special anti-static
additive and has high compression strength of
up to 400 kg and a high tensile strength of up
to 130 kg. Available with IP ratings up to IP68
and IP69K, the LTPAS can withstand tempera-
tures from -20 °C to 105 °C.
The LTPPUAS liquid tight flexible conduit
system is polyurethane-coated with a special
anti-static additive, offering high abrasion re-
sistance and superior protection for demand-
ing environments.
Available with IP ratings of up to IP68 and
IP69K, the cable protection system can with-
stand temperatures from - 40 °C to 80 °C.
“Introducing a specialised anti-static product
to the local market means that we can support
customers who are working in hazardous and
challenging environments,”says Cronin.

Friction-free and
safe conduit system
IDENTIFYING electrical wires and cables, components, circuit
breaker boxes, patch panels or terminal blocks can be quite a
time-consuming job that does not make the most of an electrical
installer’s skills and expertise. However, well-identifiedwires and
circuits greatly increase the speed of any electrical follow-up job.
“That is why Brady offers topmarket printers that can identify any
electrical wire, cable, component or circuit breaker box inmere
minutes, greatly increasing productivity”, says Cindy van den Bremt,
product manager, portable systems at Brady.
Fast and productive
Brady portable printers have been developedwith electrical,
datacomand telecom installers inmind.The BMP21-PLUS, BMP41,
BMP51 and BMP71 are all designed to enable professionals to iden-
tify any wire and component faster, easier andwith confidence.
Portable labellers aimed at increased productivity
“Apart fromvariations in label width, all Brady port-
able printers offer quick cartridge loading, printing
on continuous label rolls and sleeves, a built-in label
cutter, built-in graphics and industry symbols and a
multi-lingual menu. Brady also offers printer specific
specialised applications enabling you to print die-cut
labels, or quickly identify breaker boxes and compo-
nents.”
Reliable
“Installers oftenwork in conditions that can be quite
challenging for man andmachine sowe take special
care to build dust- and shock-proof printers that last.
Any newprinter model needs to pass a drop test
before it enters themarket tomake sure our printers
are as tough.”Every Brady portable printer can func-
tionwith a rechargeable battery.“Spare rechargeable
batteries are available so the user will always have the
power to get the job done.”
Labels that last
Through research and experience, Brady built a vast
knowledge base fromwhich the best materials and
adhesives are selected to construct labels that last in
challenging conditions.“Every Brady portable printer
works seamlessly with our advanced labels that can
resist prolonged UV-exposure andweathering,”says
Van den Bremt.
“Themain advantage of Brady’s engineered labels is
that once they are applied, they don’t fall off.There’s
a label construction available for any context to avoid
labels coming off inadvertently, making sure you
never have to re-identify anythingwithout purpose.”
