Atkore Inc. announces the launch of UL Listed Hygienic Stainless Steel Flex Connectors, which are used to connect stainless hygienic flex conduit to other fittings, boxes and enclosures.

Both styles of connectors are laser marked to ensure hygienic safety and sanitary compliance, are easy to assemble and connect to all of Calbrite’s Stainless Steel Liquid-Tight Flex Conduit.
