About Us
American Conduit is incredibly proud to be part of Hydro, the leading aluminum extruder in the world. As a result, we have access to a virtually unlimited amount of the highest quality aluminum available. We have been in business for four decades, and clients come back to us time after time. They do so because they know the conduit we provide will be strong enough to perform in the most challenging conditions, and will do so day in and day out, year in and year out.
Let Us Help You Save Money
You may assume that steel would always be the best material for conduit – you might have used it for years, and you can’t imagine using anything else. At American Conduit, we’d like you to reconsider that stance. Our aluminum is just as strong as steel, and, as you’ll learn later, is even more durable.
But making the switch to aluminum makes sense from a financial perspective as well. It costs anywhere from 40-60 percent less per pound, and you can also save on labor – as much as 75 percent. The reason is that aluminum is only about a third the weight of steel. The average 10-foot section of steel conduit weighs close to 100 pounds – the same length of aluminum weighs less than 35 pounds. You won’t need as many workers for an installation, so you can assign them to other tasks. Your efficiency will increase, and your costs will go down.
Reasons to Use Aluminum
In addition to cost savings, you’ll also see other advantages of moving from steel to aluminum. Here are just a few.
- Our conduit is made from 6000 series alloys, and has a T-1 temper designation. Why is this important? Because these are considered “marine grade” alloys. They deliver incredible strength, and they can withstand extreme temperatures. In fact, our aluminum gets stronger the colder temperatures get. Steel, on the other hand, will become brittle in when the temperatures plunge.
- Aluminum is also far more corrosion resistant than steel. Unless steel is coated with expensive materials, it will eventually degrade due to corrosion and rust. Aluminum won’t, thanks to a natural coating of aluminum oxide.
- American Conduit products are also non-magnetic. It reflects not only radiated heat but also visible light. This will ensure that your sensitive computer equipment will be protected from any interference that could be emitted from the cables inside your conduit.
