Have you ever ordered 4 inch electrical conduit from another supplier, only to be disappointed? Either the supplier didn’t have what you needed in stock, or the quality of the conduit was lacking in quality – to put it mildly. You’ll never have to worry about any of that when you team with the experts at American Conduit. We have an ample supply of many different sizes of conduit, and it’s durable and tough enough to take on the most challenging environments.
The American Conduit Difference
One of the reasons why you should purchase from us is that we’re a proud brand of Hydro, the world’s largest extruder of aluminum. This allows us to keep plenty of conduit in stock, and to sell it at very affordable prices. We also have distribution centers and warehouses across the U.S. No matter where you’re located, we can get you your conduit quickly and efficiently. You won’t have to risk costly downtime waiting for us to deliver your products.
When it comes to quality, no one tops American Conduit. Our products are made to the most stringent industry standards. Not only do they meet the standards of Underwriters Laboratories (UL) and the National Electric Code® (NEC), they also meet the specs of the Canadian Standards Association (CSA) and the American National Standards Institute (ANSI).
Strength, Durability and Much More
Electrical metallic tubing is a key component to any electrical system. It protects wiring and other components from the elements, as well as moisture. Quality conduit also keeps wiring from becoming damaged due to impacts or exposure to chemical vapors.
EMT typically comes in one of four materials: aluminum, plastic, stainless steel or galvanized steel. Our patented PullEase EMT comes in one material – aluminum – because we believe it’s the far superior solution. We have been in this business for more than four decades, and with each passing day we become even more convinced that aluminum is the best material for conduit – by far.
These are just some of the reasons why.
- Substantial material savings – Aluminum costs as much as 60 percent less per pound than steel.
- Substantial savings on labor – But you not only save on material, but also labor costs. A typical 10-foot length of 4 inch electrical conduit made of steel weighs almost 100 pounds. It would take at least two workers to carry it, as well as install it. On the other hand, the same length of aluminum EMT is less than half the weight – light enough for one person to carry and install.
- Safety – Lighter materials lead to less of a risk for over-exertion injuries. But aluminum is also safer because it doesn’t spark like steel. You can use it in volatile environments with confidence. It will also protect sensitive wiring from electromagnetic fields.
- Corrosion resistance – Unless treated with special coatings, steel will rust, exposing wiring to damaging moisture as well as extreme temperatures. Aluminum has a natural coating of aluminum oxide that makes it resistant to corrosion as well as rust. It’s a perfect material for use in corrosive environments, such as chemical plants, wastewater plants, sewage plants and many others.
