PSL-VA
Silicone-jacketed small diameter stainless steel conduit for medical, sensor, and delicate fiber optic protection
PSL-VA is a family of small diameter stainless steel conduits with silicone jacketing for compact medical, sensor, and fiber optic bundle protection. It is used where controlled bending, compact protected routing, and lighter conduit handling are important in confined spaces or precision equipment.
Built with a thinner stainless steel helix construction, fiber glass braiding, and silicone jacketing, PSL-VA helps protect delicate glass or plastic fiber bundles, sensor leads, and fine wire assemblies from over-bending, tensile loading, abrasion, and installation damage. It is also used where autoclavable construction and FDA-conforming silicone jacketing are important.
Choose PSL-VA when you need a lighter, easier-to-handle silicone-jacketed small diameter conduit for delicate medical, sensor, or fiber optic protection.
Compared with PS-VA, PSL-VA uses a thinner stainless steel helix construction, making it lighter and easier to handle for more delicate and compact bundle routing.

Frequently Asked Questions about PSL-VA Small Diameter Conduits
What is PSL-VA best used for?
PSL-VA is best used for compact routing and protection of fiber optic bundles, sensor leads, and delicate wire assemblies where silicone-jacketed outer protection, controlled bending, and lighter stainless steel construction are required.
How is PSL-VA different from PS-VA?
PSL-VA uses a thinner stainless steel construction with silicone jacketing, making it lighter, easier to handle, and better suited to more delicate and compact bundle routing. PS-VA uses a slightly thicker stainless steel construction for added robustness.
Can PSL-VA be used in medical or clean-environment applications?
Yes. PSL-VA can be used in medical or clean-environment applications where fiber optic bundles, sensor leads, and delicate wire assemblies require compact protected routing. Silicone jacketing and stainless steel construction make it a strong option for precision and clean-process equipment.
Is PSL-VA autoclavable?
Yes. PSL-VA is used in applications where autoclavable conduit construction is required for medical, sensor, or related precision equipment. Final suitability should be confirmed against the specific operating and sterilization conditions.
Does PSL-VA use FDA-conforming materials?
PSL-VA uses a silicone jacket formulated for applications requiring FDA-conforming material characteristics. Where regulatory or application-specific compliance is critical, the exact product documentation should be reviewed for confirmation.
Can PSL-VA be used for fiber optic bundles and endoscopy-related applications?
Yes. PSL-VA is suited to compact fiber optic bundle protection in applications such as medical lighting, technical endoscopy, sensor technology, inspection, and other precision fiber routing applications.
