Advantages of PullEase Aluminum EMT
American Conduit’s patented PullEase aluminum EMT provides several important advantages over steel EMT that make it a popular choice:
- PullEase aluminum EMT weighs less than half as much steel EMT (one pound of aluminum is equal to three pounds of steel). Significant savings are achieved from the ability to cover greater distance with the same amount of weight.
- Aluminum EMT is the preferred material when superior corrosion resistance is required. Steel tubing is not suitable for installations where there is a lot of water or chemicals, such as food processing plants.
- Aluminum EMT can be easily cut and bent on the job site with a minimum of special tools, resulting in neater installations, and does not require many manufactured fittings.
- Although EMT conduit cannot be threaded, fittings can be clamped to it, a major advantage when following irregular or curved building profiles.
Advantages of Aluminum RMC
There are many reasons engineers, contractors and construction managers are choosing aluminum RMC over steel RMC, including:
- New research shows that switching from rigid steel conduit to rigid aluminum conduit can result in significant cost savings of up to 17%.
- Aluminum RMC will not rust or discolor even after extended outdoor exposure, minimizing the dangerous conditions that arise when steel rusts out. This is particularly important with tunnels, bridges, parking garages and other outdoor construction areas involving infrastructure.
- Aluminum RMC’s light weight makes it easier to transport and requires less effort to lift, move and install, representing cost savings in terms of shipping and labor and improvements in the health and safety of workers.
- Aluminum RMC can be used to reflect visible light and radiated heat, making it extremely effective as an electrical conduit. It is also non-magnetic and useful for high-voltage applications and anywhere magnetic fields come into play.
- Aluminum RMC from American Conduit meets or exceeds all UL6 and National Electrical Code® (NEC) standards, performing as well or better than steel in the field.
