American Made Liquatite® Conduit
Electri-Flex manufactures an assortment of Liquatite® flexible conduits that are made in the USA. These conduits solve design challenges for any application, including data centers, transit, rail, bridges, airports, ports, utility, defense, and other key infrastructure installations. Liquatite® offers a variety of conduit types that provide solutions for high/low-temperature environments, halogen-free or low smoke installations, UL/CSA requirements, liquidtight, UV-resistant, corrosion-resistant stainless steel, EMI/RFI shielding, and many more. Conduits are built to withstand extreme conditions and harsh environments, as well as meet specifications for local and federal requirements.
The Buy American Act, different from the Buy America Act, applies to all U.S. federal government agency purchases and similarly, requires products and materials to be American Made. However, Buy American requires 51% of the product’s components to be made in the United States. Nearly all Electri-Flex conduit conforms to the Buy American Act.
Liquatite® flexible conduits offer many varieties that are both Buy America and Buy American compliant, key requirements for government-funded projects, specifically rail and transit installations.
The Buy America Act’s purpose is to encourage the use of domestically produced products in federal transportation construction projects and is administered by the Department of Transportation (DOT). Buy America requires both the product and materials used to manufacture the product to be 100% sourced and produced in the United States. The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), Federal Transit Authority (FTA), and other Department of Transportation agencies can require Buy America Compliance for purchase in these transportation applications.
