Best electric wiring protection

[sajeel]

Hi
Wanted your opinion on best rodent protection see picture attached

So far the ones I have looked at are (1) 3/8" FLEXO RODENT RESISTANT (RRN) (2) Flexicon galvanised steel flexible conduit (3) Adaptaflex Nylon conduit.

1) Flexo® Rodent Resistant - 3/8" - https://www.hypex.co.uk/Techflex-Sleeving-and-Heatshrink/Heavy-Duty-Sleeving/Flexo-Rodent-Resistant-RRN/flexo-rodent-resistant-3-8-/
2) Flexible Glavanised Steel Conduit - https://www.tlc-direct.co.uk/Manufacturers/Flexicon/Flexible_Steel/index.html

3) 20mm Contractor Pack (10m Reel and 10 Glands) - https://www.cef.co.uk/catalogue/products/39994-20mm-contractor-pack-with-glands-and-locknuts-black








Your opinions and experience along with other recommendations will be appreciated.

Obviously all the holes and routes will be sealed and pest control will visit.

Always go for galvanised steel for rodent protection
flexicon fsu type conduit is ok, if it is outdoors and you want it to last a long time, I would go for there LTP product. It’s also IP67 or 68, can’t remember which.

Found this online also is it better to go for stainless steel rather than pvc coated to stop rodent being attracted, read somewhere nylon is not liked by rodents

Code for stainless would be ss20-25m for 20mm and 25m length
do you require any sort of water resistance?

Not really will be inside under flooring thanks for codes

Fu is commonly used in that application, fu20-25m for example.
it will be a lot cheaper than stainless

Yes don't think customer will want to spend over £100 so gonna go with the fu should be adequate my only other thought is how to replace wiring section without making it making too bulky could use metal box with wago connectors
