Why Switch from Steel to Aluminum Conduit?

New research shows that contractors and engineering firms who switch from rigid steel conduit to rigid aluminum conduit enjoy significant cost savings of up to 17%. And the savings increase with the size of the conduit used and the size of the project.

Customers who choose rigid aluminum conduit experience cost savings of 10% to 20% per foot compared to the cost of rigid steel. Because one pound of aluminum is equal to three pounds of steel, you can cover three times the distance with the same amount of weight.

Rigid aluminum conduit is also one-third the weight of its steel counterpart, making it easier to transport and requiring less effort to lift, move and install. This represents additional cost savings in terms of shipping and labor, as well as improvements in the health and safety of workers.

Rigid aluminum conduit meets or exceeds all UL6 and National Electrical Code® (NEC) standards, performing as well or better than steel in the field. It can be used to replace rigid steel conduit virtually anywhere above ground.

Aluminum conduit is more durable, resists corrosion, and will not rust or discolor even with extended outdoor exposure, a distinct advantage over the dangerous conditions that arise when steel rusts out.

Unlike steel, it is nonmagnetic and non-sparking, which eliminates the risk of explosion from a spark or fire. It is also virtually maintenance free and requires no painting, extra coatings or treatment.

Environmentally Friendly and Sustainable

In addition to cost savings, superior quality and performance, aluminum is a 100% recyclable and far more sustainable material than rigid steel conduit.

Nearly 75% of all aluminum ever produced is still in use today because it can be infinitely recycled into new raw material without losing any of its superior characteristics.

On projects where there is demolition or reconstruction, any existing rigid aluminum conduit can be recycled, representing a true beginning-to-end cost savings advantage.  When re-melted, it does not omit toxins or poisonous gasses. Not only is it a “greener” material, but it can be used to earn LEED points.
