Fx158 is an elementary conduit, one of the original sixteen Herschel conduits, discovered by Dave Buckingham on July 7, 1996. After 158 ticks, it produces an inverted Herschel at (27, -5) relative to the input. Its recovery time is 176 ticks. It is the only known small conduit that does not produce its output Herschel via the usual Herschel great-grandparent, so it cannot be followed by a dependent conduit. Attempting to put a block there will just cause the block to be eaten.

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