Type NM SIMpull™ NMLT is manufactured with rigid PVC reinforcement imbedded within a flexible PVC wall. The construction provides excellent impact and crush strength while remaining highly flexible. The conduit resists oils, mild acids and exposure to sunlight.

Construction

NMLT
  • A protective combination of thermoplastic materials formed into a conduit/raceway which seals out water, liquids, abrasives, alcohol, coolants, corrosive fumes and gases, dirt, grease, mineral acids, non-concentrated fixed alkalines, petroleum oils, salt air and spray, and weather
  • Smooth interior for easy wire pulling
  • UV sunlight resistant jacket
  • Rated for temperature range of -30°C to 80°C , 60°C Oil (-22 to +176, 140°F Oil)
  • Accepts standard liquid-tight fittings for use with LFNC-B
