Flexible conduit is also known as which term?

• A. Wire nuts
• B. Greenfield
• C. Splice bolts/compression lugs
• D. Ground clamps

Answer: (B)

Flexible conduit is a bendable metal raceway that protects conductors and lets you route wiring around obstacles. In the field, this type of conduit is commonly called Greenfield, a traditional term electricians use for flexible metal conduit. The name has stuck from historical product lines and has become the standard way to refer to FMC. This term is distinct from items like wire nuts, splice bolts/compression lugs, or ground clamps, which serve different functions such as joining conductors or securing grounding, rather than describing the conduit itself.
