What Sets American Conduit Apart?
One of the biggest reasons people turn to American Conduit time after time is trust. Clients trust us to deliver conduit that will always perform, and they also trust us to have plenty in stock at all times. Thanks to our relationship with the global leader in aluminum extrusion, Hydro, we have about a million pounds of conduit on hand. In addition, we have a nationwide network of distributors and stocking warehouses.
In addition to quantity, we also offer variety. We have conduit available in a wide range of lengths and diameters that will suit just about any kind of application, no matter how complex it may be.
Boosting Your Bottom Line
American Conduit products can substantially lower your costs. Aluminum is much less expensive than steel – anywhere from 40-60 percent per pound. But the savings don’t stop there. Aluminum is also much lighter than steel. A 10-foot section of aluminum conduit weighs about 34 pounds, while the same length of steel conduit will weigh closer to 100 pounds.
As a result, you won’t need to assign nearly as many workers to an installation. You can assign them to other projects, and see your labor savings and efficiency skyrocket.
The Benefits of Using Aluminum Conduit
There are a lot of other areas where aluminum is clearly superior to steel when it comes to conduit and EMT. These are just a few.
- Aluminum is non-combustible and also doesn’t emit sparks, unlike steel. You can use aluminum conduit with total confidence, even in a volatile environment. In addition, aluminum won’t burn no matter how high the temperatures get, and won’t emit potentially dangerous fumes such as steel.
- If, like many of our clients, you run conduit near sensitive computer equipment, you should really consider switching from steel to aluminum. The reason is that aluminum is non-magnetic. It will do a much better job than steel of protecting your equipment from the electromagnetic interference that can sometimes come from wiring and cables.
- Steel will eventually corrode and rust unless it’s coated with very expensive substances. Aluminum, on the other hand, doesn’t pose that risk. It has a natural film of aluminum oxide that keeps it from degrading over time. It will also resist cracking.
- You might think there’s no way aluminum conduit could be as strong as steel, but that’s not the case at all – at least it’s not with our products. American Conduit uses special alloys that make our aluminum just as strong as stee. American Conduit aluminum actually gets stronger the lower the temperature gets. It won’t become brittle in extremely cold temperatures, unlike steel.
