About Electrical Metallic Tubing (EMT)
Aluminum EMT, sometimes called “conduit,” is an unthreaded, thin-walled tubing that is connected by means of clamp-type fittings that slide onto the tubing and are secured with a set-screw.
PullEase aluminum EMT from American Conduit is lighter and thinner than Rigid Metal Conduit (RMC), can be installed outdoors, and is simple to bend and cut using normal field methods and tools. Aluminum EMT is UL listed and meets the same code requirements as steel.
Products from American Conduit adhere to all applicable provisions of the National Electric Code® (NEC), the Underwriters Laboratories, the American National Standards Institute (ANSI), Canadian Standards Association (CSA), and federal specifications.
We employ the latest state-of-the-art technology for the design and manufacture of extrusion tooling, and our application engineering, manufacturing, and design specialists would be happy to assist you with custom solutions for your unique applications.
Top Reasons to Choose Aluminum EMT
Important advantages of using aluminum EMT instead of steel include:
- Thinner and half the weight of steel. Save money by covering more distance with the same amount of weight;
- Easy to bend and cut on the job site with a minimum of special tools, resulting in neater installations;
- Superior corrosion resistance so it can be used in installations that are wet with water or chemicals, such as food processing plants;
- Can be installed outdoors, as long as all fittings, supports and fasteners are made of corrosion-resistant materials;
- When installed with proper sealing fittings, it protects from fire and explosions by preventing the flow of flammable gases and fumes from volatile substances;
- Helps block electromagnetic radiation emitted by electrical circuits that causes unwanted interference and noise;
- Can be coated to protect from incidental contact with alkalis when installed in concrete walls and slabs;
American Conduit has over 40 years of experience in the production of aluminum EMT in trade sizes that range from ½-inch to 4-inches and in various lengths. Our nationwide distribution network ensures easy access for customers from coast to coast.
