corrugated electrical conduit what can I use it for?

[sdowney717]

black 1 to 1.25 inch and around 200 foot roll
Could I use it for a garden hose? It flexes well. How does it hold up to pressure?

Be imaginative. It is just going to sit as a roll forever unless I can use it for something.

garden hose ? seriously ?

 

[Torque1st]

It will not hold pressure. Use it for short runs of electrical conduit less than 3' long to connect motors and other equipment or put it on Craigslist.

Using it as conduit comes to mind


/end of sarcasm

Air lines for your shop? It should handle 2 or 3psi easily.....

Good imiganation, LOL. The only problem is its not even meant for the preasure a garden hose has. And it would rust.

The best use would proably craiglist

I saw that stuff at the home center out here, looks as if it's being used like you would use SealTite (Liquid-tight Flexible Metallic Conduit), not sure though.

 

[sdowney717]

its plastic and totally sealed. When I get a chance I will put up a picture

 

[Norcal]

Is it marked as Electrical Nonmetallic Tubing (ENT)? If it is, it's nic is "Smurf Tube" ,& it's brittle in the cold.

It needs to be concealed for electrical use.Usually installed in concrete floors.

Pmaflex liquid tight and looks to be 1 inch ID. Even in cold weather this seemed to be quite flexible. It has sat outside for at least 3 years and not degraded. plastic welder epoxy from autozone could glue metal fittings onto the ends.

PMAFLEX VOS

Very flexible medium duty conduit produced from specially modified polyamide 6. Ideally suited to the building industry and machine tools.
Temperature range -40C to +105C.

I am just trying to come up with a use for this. It looks like it would be better than some of my cruddy vinyl hoses I have. I hate vinyl garden hose and most garden hoses generally. Recently I got some large hose reels and it is much better. But when its cold out, the hoses are just too stiff.

You can make a hat, a brooch, a pterodactyl......sorry. i couldn't resist.

You could put some holes in it and bury it ...for a very small yard drainage problem
