Customer Reviews for AFC Cable Systems 1/2 x 25 ft. Non-Metallic Liquidtight Conduit

The product is generally very good but there are issues using it. It is tightly wound in the package and you need to unwind it well before use and, if possible, have it in the sun to help straighten it out. The second problem is HD's untidy, illogical way to package this with any electrical boxes that are designed to be used with the conduit. There were no connectors available. I used the plastic electrical boxes, both one and two gang which allows you to insert the conduit into the ports on the boxes. There are no adhesives available to "glue " the conduit into the box either. I got around this by using a strap as close to the box on the nearest 2 x 4 I could find. I then used a Carlon (Store SKU #499917) circular junction box which mated with the conduit also. I used a surface mounted PVC box, Model # E979DFNR (Store SKU #707382). I also used a 2 gang and wish there was a 3 gang version. The conduit is nice and snug in the receptacle but does need straps to keep it in place. This was a garage installation and makes the job easier than using metal conduit. I used a little soap on the romex to make push through easier. These boxes allowed normal modern outlets and plates to be used. The real benefit I found is that the conduit can be moved around to find the studs in the wall for the straps to be anchored.

I used this conduit to run some outdoor ethernet cables for security cameras. The ethernet cable was outdoor rated, but I wanted to run it in something to provide some degree of protection from tampering or vandalism. This conduit works great. It's very easy to work with, measure, cut, and install. I use the HDX Ratcheting PVC Cutter to cut the conduit, making cuts quick, easy, and clean. I have used this with the Southwire brand connectors that are stocked at my store since they are smaller than the equivalent Arlington liquid-tight connectors. The connectors are incredibly easy to use with this conduit and have worked great. The only minor issue is the bend that stays in the conduit from being wrapped up in a roll. I was able to rotate it when installing it to get the bends in the right direction, but I had to use several conduit straps to wrangle it in place.

I needed to run a couple of circuits underground in my backyard for a foutain and lights. This product is designed for an outdoor and wet environment. After digging a trench 18" deep and laying out the conduit the next step of course is running the wire. Normally a snake would be used. But I has having trouble so I came up with an idea that was pure genuis - and I think you'll agree. I took a piece of a plastic bag and tied a string to it and stuffed it in one end. Then I took my vacuum cleaner and used the attachment wand on the other end. When I turned on the vacuum, it sucked the plastic bag (along with the string) to the other end in about 5 seconds! With the string in the conduit, I just tied the 6 wires I wanted to the string and pulled them all through. It worked so great and easy I think I'll patent this! Remember you read about it here in my Home Depot review first!

It works great as expected

I used it for burying my Starlink satellite cable. Worked fine- minor downsides: corners will be round vs 90* and a slight but do-able challenge to straighten for the trench in cold weather…

Worked Great. Just what I needed

Worked very well easy to use and durable

Used this flex conduit to bury cable from Starlink satellite antenna to the house . Excellent! Much easier than rigid PVC conduit.

Home Depot hands down has the best price on this good product I use again and again

Flexible and easy to cut and use.

Box had been opened, some removed, and box resealed. Only got 35 feet.

Used to replace sun damaged conduit on exterior pump system. Easy to cut and apply fittings flexible enough to make the necessary bends in the runs.

I didn't need 50 feet of it . But, there was no way to buy a lesser amount.

Great product. Extremely sturdy.
