PMA nylon conduit is a robust, tough type of conduit that is a technically better alternative to steel braided conduit in almost every way. Contrary to popular belief nylon conduit is stronger than steel braided conduit and is able to withstand a blow from a hammer.

Although PMA conduit is available in many different grades, approximately 28 we only list the PCLT range on our website. The PCLT range is our most popular selling conduit and is generally available from stock. This type of PMA conduit is very flexible and is made from medium duty nylon. All other types of PMA conduit and connectors are available on request.

PMA conduit is approved for worldwide use and is suitable for a wide variety of applications from basic control panel wiring to rail projects such as the London Underground.

PMA conduits are made from specially modified polyamide (PA6) and have many advantages over steel braided conduit. PMA is easier to install and will last much longer than steel braided. The connectors simply click into place to easily provide IP66 or IP68 protection with IP69K available on request.

PMA has been operating since 1975 and is now a market leader in nylon conduit. In 2010 PMA was acquired by Thomas & Betts who continue to develop World class cable protection equipment. Then in 2012, PMA was acquired by ABB.
