Electrical whips and whip kits make powering equipment fast, safe, and tidy. These preassembled lengths of flexible conduit with conductors and fittings are built for quick hook-ups to HVAC condensers, mini-splits, water heaters, pumps, motors, and outdoor lighting. By eliminating on-site conduit cutting and wire pulling, a prewired whip can cut installation time, reduce errors, and improve code compliance on residential, commercial, and light industrial jobs.

Choose from liquidtight nonmetallic whips for wet locations, metallic and MC whips for added durability, and a range of conductor sizes and lengths to match your load. Common options include 4–8 foot kits with stranded copper THHN/THWN conductors, color-coded insulation, and straight or 90-degree connectors. Look for UL listed components, outdoor ratings, UV and oil resistance, and fittings with integrated strain relief for vibration-prone equipment.

Use an HVAC condenser whip between the disconnect and unit, or select a pump or water heater whip rated for the voltage and amperage required. Match gauge to load (for example, 10 AWG for higher amperage) and verify voltage (120, 208/230, 240, or 277 volts) and number of conductors. Grounding and bonding conductors should be included and clearly identified.

Installation is straightforward:
- De-energize the circuit and verify with a tester.
- Measure the run and choose the shortest whip that maintains serviceability.
- Route the flexible conduit with a drip loop, avoiding sharp bends and abrasion points.
- Secure fittings with locknuts and sealing washers; torque per manufacturer instructions.
- Support the whip and boxes per local code, then test for continuity and proper rotation on motors.
