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.
Cost Savings
Cost is a key part of any project. If you’ve been operating under the misconception that aluminum RMC is more expensive than steel RMC, we encourage you to reexamine the facts.
Engineers, contractors and construction managers are choosing aluminum RMC over steel RMC for cost-per-foot savings of 10% to 20% and labor savings of 35% to 75% compared to rigid steel. The lighter material weight of aluminum also translates to savings in the area of shipping.
Faster Installation
Aluminum RMC requires less effort to lift, move, and install because it is only one-third the weight of steel. This results in improvements in the health and safety of workers, 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.
Switching from steel to aluminum can reward you with superior quality and performance, as well as thousands of dollars of savings on a typical job.
