Liquid Tight Flexible Conduit in Class I, Div 1 locations

[DM2-Inc]

I'm being told that there is a lower cost "Liquid Tight Flexible Conduit" called "Anaconda Sealtite" that is suitable for Class I, Division 1 locations. I've gone to the "Anamet Electrical" web site and couldn't find any reference to Class I, Div 1 approvals. I found an older post (2007 Post "using liquid-tight in Class 1, Div 1 location") which suggest this isn't possible.

I called the supplier, but could only speak to a sales person who provided a less then stellar response.

I reverted to the individual who claimed they could be used to provide the document which supports this claim but don't think I'll be getting it.

I'm posting here to see if something different has been developed since 2007 or maybe someone knows of a lower cost flex.

I’ve never seen LFMC listed for div1.

Always had to use crouse hinds ECLK.

My answer(s) from the previous thread are still valid.

It would not matter what the manufacturer says. LFMC is not on the list of wiring methods shown in 501.10(A)(2).

See Section 501.10(A)(2) [2023 NEC] for the only flexible wiring methods permitted in Division 1.

Liquid tight may be used in Div2 but is not approved for Div1 wiring methods.
