What keeps flexible conduit in place?

Featured Replies

Say you have the final connection from a sub db to the inverter 15cm away. Flexible conduit seems like the perfect solution. What keeps it in place though? Do you just cut it to size and leave it?

Lol, if you have some hanging and you want to secure it you can use really big saddles (They make ones specifically for sprigging)

Can one not glue it into a coupler etc? My googling indicated the flexible conduits just break off where glued down, i.e. it reacts badly and weakens it where glued

You hit the nail on the head there... sprigging is made of a very thing PVC that will deteriorate over time. With saddles you don't have the weight of the cables stressing a single point the same way glue would. Glue can also leave a patch on the wall with odd  colouring or even take the top layer of paint off if the paint is old enough.

Saddles are your friend, otherwise, I have also seen people place sprigging inside of regular square conduit  but that kinda defeats the purpose xD
