Not to be confused with F116 or F171.

F117 is a composite conduit, one of the original sixteen Herschel conduits, discovered by Dave Buckingham on July 5, 1996. It is made up of two elementary conduits, HFx58B and BFx59H. After 117 ticks, it produces a Herschel at (40, -6) relative to the input. Its recovery time is 63 ticks. It can be made Spartan by replacing the snake with an eater 1 in one of two orientations.

In the pattern shown in the infobox, a ghost Herschel marks the output location.
