Thomas & Betts BR150-8 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Is the Thomas & Betts BR150-8 flexible conduit jacketed or bare steel?
Bare. The BR150-8 is non-jacketed steel core flexible conduit, so there is no PVC outer jacket over the steel. That makes it a dry-location interior wiring job: if you need liquid resistance for an outdoor run, a wash-down area, or a motor connection exposed to coolant or condensation, you want a liquidtight PVC-jacketed flex instead.
2) What trade size and how much length do I get with the BR150-8 flex conduit?
It is 1-1/2 inch trade size, supplied as an 8 meter length. So fittings, connectors, and straps need to be sized for 1-1/2 inch flex, not for the actual outside diameter of the corrugation.
3) Do connectors come with the Thomas & Betts BR150-8 flexible conduit?
No. The BR150-8 is conduit only, an 8 meter coil of 1-1/2 inch non-jacketed steel flex. Plan to order 1-1/2 inch flex connectors for each termination plus straps or clamps for support, otherwise the run cannot be landed at a box or enclosure.
4) Can I use non-jacketed steel flex conduit as the equipment ground, or do I need a separate ground wire?
Pull a separate equipment grounding conductor. The BR150-8 is standard non-jacketed steel flex (FMC), not a listed flexible metal conduit assembly with an integral bonding path, so on a 1-1/2 inch run you should not rely on the conduit and its connectors for grounding. The steel does provide physical protection for the conductors and some mechanical shielding, but the green wire does the grounding.
5) Is 1-1/2 inch flexible conduit the right choice for a short motor or rooftop unit connection?
For an indoor, dry motor or air handler whip, yes, non-jacketed steel flex like the BR150-8 is the usual pick and 1-1/2 inch handles a large conductor bundle. Outdoors or on a rooftop, where the flex sees weather and standing water, switch to liquidtight jacketed flex. Bare steel flex has no jacket to keep water out of the corrugation seam.
