Aluminum Electrical Metallic Tubing (EMT): PullEase aluminum EMT is a patented easy-to-pull EMT available from American Conduit in diameters from ½-inch to 4-inches in a wide range of lengths. Aluminum is an excellent substitute for steel EMT. It is UL listed and meets the same code requirements as steel. It provides weight savings when compared with steel, as well as cost savings in installation and maintenance. It can be cut and threaded readily and bent smoothly using normal field methods and tools.
Rigid Aluminum Metal Conduit (RMC): Aluminum RMC is available from American Conduit in diameters from ½-inch to 6-inches in a wide range of lengths. Aluminum RMC provides excellent savings compared to steel RMC and can replace rigid steel in virtually all locations. It offers cost per foot savings of 10% to 20% versus rigid steel. It is also 1/3 the weight of steel and easier to maneuver, resulting in labor savings of 35% to 75% versus rigid steel.
Aluminum conduit is non-ferrous and non-magnetic, which avoids the de-rating required for steel conduit and improves performance. It resists corrosion and will not rust or discolor, even after extended outdoor exposure. And unlike steel, aluminum conduit does not spark. This reduces the risk of explosion in volatile environments.
The bottom line is that aluminum conduit installs faster, provides tremendous resistant to corrosion, and reduces the likelihood of on-the-job injuries. It can help you realize savings such as these on your next project:
- Office Building – $20,000
- Residential Development – $15,000
- Waste Water Treatment Plant – $10,000
- Hospital Complex – $25,000
- University Building – $10,000
We invite you to review American Conduit’s case studies for examples of projects where aluminum conduit was substituted for steel conduit and resulted in substantial material and labor savings.
With nearly 1 million pounds of aluminum EMT and rigid aluminum conduit in a range of sizes in stock and ready to ship, American Conduit has the ability to meet your conduit and tubing demands. Give us a call at 1-800-334-6825 for more information, or request a quotation today.
