Bending radius of Sealtite

[sw_ross]

Is there a way to know the bending radius of Sealtite (LFMC)?
Say 2”....
Other than flexing it to the point where it almost starts to kink?

Same Q for FMC...

Thanks

Any help in manufacturers literature?

See 350.24, where you’ll be referenced to Table 2 Chapter 9.

Thanks!
i have a hard time imagining 2” Sealtite with a 9 1/2” radius...
But that helps me accomplish my task (as long as I don’t damage the conduit)

Rule of thumb is don't exceed the natural tension of the flexible material ... meaning don't add more than say 1 lb of pressure on the arch, or go with the 10 x the radius rule of the material.

Off topic although radius related, I love the guys that use sharp 90 degree angles when terminating into breakers, I always use the smooth sweep technique.

You are to use the “Other Bends side of the chart, which will result in 12”.
