PURPOSE AND SCOPE OF APPLICATIONExplosion-proof flexible conduit (explosion-proof flexible metal hoses) MGM, MGMA are used for the connection of equipment and devices subject to extreme vibration, such as electric motors, pumps, fans etc. for the protection of exposed electrical cables, wires and fiber optics. This is a very efficient and reliable way of cable protection which is widely used in various systems and can ensure protection against a range of negative environmental factors, external effects and operating conditions. Their application is also preferable for installation of suspended light fixtures with pipe conduit.
Modification with rotating fittings ensures independent rotation of a threaded joint during installation. Explosion-proof armored flexible elements MGM, MGMA are intended for the creation of a movable bridge between the sections of pipe conduit for a compensation of thermal expansion/shrinkage, seismic waves and other movements.
Corrugated housings (hermetically sealed hoses) are manufactured by one-layer hydroforming of seamless blanks made from highly corrosion-resistant stainless steel grade, which are welded by argon butt-welding. Wire mesh-type metal sheath made of highly corrosion-resistant stainless steel is put on flexible corrugated housings for increased strength and protection against static, axial and radial loads. Material of the flexible conduit and sheath is highly corrosion resistant stainless steel.
Wide selection of products allows you to find the exact solution that you need. We offer various systems of flexible conduit with thread size from 1/2” to 4” made of stainless steel with plating/sheathing.
Scope of application - hazardous indoor and outdoor areas in accordance with explosion protection marking, GOST 30852.13-2002 (IEC 60079-14:1996), dangerous production facilities of I, II, III, IV hazard classes under supervision of Rostekhnadzor and national supervisory bodies of the CU and the CIS countries.

INCORRECT INSTALLATION |
|
CORRECT INSTALLATION |
 |
Do not pull flexible element MGM, MGMA — unwind it carefully |
