Per Spec Division 27 05 33 Raceways and Boxes for Communications Systems, Part 2 Products, Section 2.1-B-5 Flexible Galvanized Steel Conduit is permissible for use in legacy protection of telecommunications cabling, from the top of the partition wall to the WAO, where existing conduit does not exist or has insufficient capacity to support the number of cables needed. It must conform to UL 1. Ensure the flexible metal conduit has the appropriate polymer bushings to prevent damage to cable jackets when exiting the conduit to the cable tray or J-hook above.
