Adaptaflex, 16 mm Nominal Diameter, Polyvinyl Chloride, Polyvinyl Chloride, Black

ABB Series SP Conduit, 16mm Nominal Diameter, 25m Length - SP16/BL/25M

This conduit is a flexible, PVC-coated galvanised steel conduit designed to protect and route electrical and control wiring in industrial environments. It provides weather resistance for external installations and mechanical protection where movement, vibration or occasional impact occurs. The black polyvinyl chloride cover offers UV resistance for outdoor use while the core maintains mechanical strength.

Features & Benefits

• Waterproof PVC sheath delivers IP54 protection in standard fittings
  IP65 achievable with M type fitting for harsher environments
  Operating range from -15°C to 70°C for wide thermal tolerance
  Bending‑resistant construction reduces installation fatigue
  Thread size 1/2 in supports standard conduit fittings
  RoHS‑compliant material simplifies regulatory requirements

**Applications**

• Suitable for routing cables in machine tools and automation systems
  Ideal for Air conditioning and refrigeration control wiring
  Used for CCTV and underfloor computer cabling installations
  Can be used with motors and generators where movement occurs
  Used for mechanical handling systems requiring flexible protection

What length options are available for procurement?

This specific offering comes as a 25m length supplied on a reel for site deployment.

How does the conduit perform under mechanical load?

It sustains significant crush and impact loads at ambient temperature and retains structural integrity after deformation tests per applicable standards.

Which fitting provides enhanced ingress protection?

An M type fitting enables an increased ingress rating to IP65 when correctly fitted.

What fire and smoke characteristics does it exhibit?

The PVC sheath meets flammability and glow‑wire criteria and shows acceptable smoke density and toxicity under standard test methods.

Is the material suitable for prolonged outdoor exposure?

The outer PVC is UV resistant and the black finish is recommended for external installations to reduce solar degradation.

Notes

The conduit is measured under tension and may be subject to variations in length when relaxed.
