It can sometimes be frustratingly hard to find the 4 inch aluminum conduit you need. Sometimes, you might encounter a supplier that has run out, or what you get can’t hold up to your demands. At American Conduit, however, we take those risks out of the equation. We always have plenty of conduit on hand, and we have more than four decades of experience in the manufacture and supply of this critical product. As a result, you can always purchase from us with confidence, because we make quality our top priority.
About American Conduit

Just as important as cost is efficient delivery. American Conduit checks that box as well. We have nationwide warehousing and distribution networks, so you’ll never have to worry about having to delay a job because you don’t have enough conduit. We’ll send your product to you quickly and efficiently, regardless of the size of your project.

Aluminum – The Clear Choice for All Your Conduit Needs
Rigid conduit is critical to any sort of electrical system because it provides protection for wiring and cables against moisture, extreme weather and impacts. Steel has been a popular choice for conduit for decades, but aluminum offers many advantages you may not have previously considered. Here are just a few.
- Durability – Aluminum is naturally protected from corrosion and rust thanks to aluminum oxide. Steel doesn’t have that protection. In order to be able to use steel conduit in extreme heat or cold, or in damp environments, it needs to have a special – and expensive – coating. If you run an operation in a corrosive environment, such as a food processing plant, a chemical plant or a wastewater facility, aluminum will stand up far better than steel.
- Affordability – Aluminum is a lot lighter than steel, yet it’s just as strong. Not only does it cost significantly less per pound – up to 60 percent less – it can also help you save on labor expenses. It usually takes two or three workers to move and install 10 feet of 4-inch rigid steel conduit, because it weighs about 100 pounds. The same length and diameter of rigid aluminum conduit, on the other hand, doesn’t even weigh 35 pounds.
- Safety – The lightweight nature of aluminum also helps from a safety perspective. Your workers will not be in danger of suffering an injury due to overexertion. In addition, you can use aluminum in flammable environments with complete confidence. The reason is it won’t emit sparks or catch fire like steel conduit can.
