Aluminum RMC and Its Uses
Rigid metal conduit is a threaded thick-walled tubing that is connected by screwing connectors to the main tubes. It protects the cables and wiring inside from damage, impact, and electromagnetic interference that can harm sensitive equipment.
The most common form of RMC in commercial and industrial buildings is made from galvanized steel, but Rigid Aluminum Conduit from American Conduit is a superb alternative, providing lightweight, non-magnetic, non-sparking solutions for dry, wet, clean, harsh or hazardous applications.
Engineers, contractors and construction managers are choosing aluminum RMC over steel RMC for cost-per-foot savings of 10% to 20%, labor savings of 35% to 75%, easier maneuverability, and faster installation.
Compliance & Certification
American Conduit Rigid Aluminum Conduit adheres to Underwriters Laboratories UL-6A, latest revision 2004, UL514B, American National Standards Institute (ANSI) C80.5 and Federal Specification WW-C-540c.
American Conduit aluminum complies with Military Standards: MIL-STD-129 and MIL-STD-649. Our aluminum RMC, couplings and elbows are extruded through porthole dies using 6063 alloy with a T-1 temper (ASTMB221 or ASTM–B429). This material meets all ductility test requirements and has been visually inspected for any defects.
Environmentally Friendly & Sustainable
In addition to the superior quality and performance of aluminum RMC, the conduit is also the environmentally responsible choice.
Aluminum is 100% recyclable and sustainable. Nearly 75% of all aluminum ever produced is still in use today because it can be infinitely recycled into new raw material without losing its superior characteristics.
Recycling aluminum is essential to aluminum’s sustainability proposition because it uses only 5% of the energy and generates 5% of the emissions associated with producing aluminum from virgin ore.
In the United States and Canada, the more than 5 million tons of aluminum is recycled every year. Approximately 3 million tons goes back into the domestic supply and 2 million tons is exported as aluminum scrap and eventually melted and cast in other countries.
