Frequently Asked Questions

What is the PAFS/PACS nylon corrugated conduit?

PAFS/PACS series is a UL1696 certified nonmetallic mechanical protection tubing manufactured from Polyamide 6 (PA6) nylon in a corrugated shape. It offers high mechanical strength, toughness, abrasion resistance, and anti-aging properties, making it ideal for cable protection in various applications.

What is the material composition?

PAFS/PACS is manufactured from Nylon 6 (Polyamide 6, PA6) which provides excellent mechanical properties. The material is halogen-free and RoHS compliant, offering environmental protection while maintaining high performance standards.

What certifications and standards does PAFS/PACS meet?

PAFS/PACS is certified with UL1696 standard and CSA C22.2 No. 227.3. It holds cURus certification (File No. E491228) and CE certification. The tubing is also verified with EN-45545-2 and EN-45545-3 standards for railway and transit applications.

What size options are available?

PAFS/PACS offers 11 sizes ranging from 10mm (1/4") to 54mm (2") nominal diameters. Each size comes in both V0 and V2 flammability ratings. Available part numbers include PAFSV0/V2-10 through PAFSV0/V2-54 for standard type and PACSV0/V2 series for certified type.

What is the operating temperature range?

PAFS/PACS operates reliably between -40℃ and +105℃, making it suitable for diverse environmental conditions from cold storage to moderately heated environments in industrial applications.

What IP rating does the conduit provide?

PAFS/PACS provides IP66 rating when used with FN01-FN04 connector series, protecting against powerful jets of water. When used with FN50 and FN53 connector series, it achieves IP68 rating for complete dust protection and submersion capability.

What are the flammability ratings available?

PAFS/PACS is available in two flammability ratings: UL94 V-0 (highest fire resistance, self-extinguishing within 10 seconds) and UL94 V-2 (self-extinguishing within 30 seconds). Both ratings provide excellent flame protection for safety-critical applications.

Is PAFS/PACS UV resistant?

Yes, PAFS/PACS features excellent UV resistance, making it suitable for outdoor installations and areas with extended sunlight exposure. This property ensures long-term durability without degradation from solar radiation.

What applications is PAFS/PACS designed for?

PAFS/PACS is ideal for cable protection in robotics, industrial automation systems, assorted machines, tunnel installations, rail and transit systems, train cabins and their electrical systems. It's particularly suited for moving parts requiring constant wire protection and long-term durability.

What is the flexibility and bending radius?

PAFS/PACS features high flexibility with small bending radii ranging from 25mm (smallest sizes) to 125mm (largest sizes). This superior flexibility allows wiring installation in narrow or small spaces while maintaining mechanical protection.

What fittings are compatible with PAFS/PACS?

PAFS/PACS tubing mates with nylon fitting series FN01, FN02, FN03, FN04, FN50, and FN53. To establish a complete water and dust protection system, it is recommended to use these compatible nylon fitting series with the tubing.

Why use nylon conduit instead of metal?

Nylon conduit offers several advantages over metal: lightweight for easy handling and installation, non-conductive for safer operation, excellent chemical resistance, superior flexibility for complex routing, lower cost, and no corrosion issues. It's ideal for robotics and automation where weight reduction is important.

What is the packaging and availability?

PAFS/PACS is available in rolls of 50 meters for most sizes, with 25 meters for larger diameters (1" and above). Custom lengths can be cut to specific project requirements. Packaging includes protective cartons with dimensions specified by size.

Is PAFS/PACS halogen-free and environmentally friendly?

Yes, PAFS/PACS is fully halogen-free and RoHS compliant, ensuring no hazardous substances are used in manufacturing. It meets strict environmental protection standards while maintaining excellent mechanical and safety properties, making it safe for various applications including railway systems.

Can custom specifications be ordered?

Yes, custom configurations are available for special requirements. Contact our team at info@flexible86.com or +86-563-6636999 to discuss custom sizes, lengths, flammability ratings, or special fitting combinations for your specific application needs.
