If you’ve ever been less than thrilled with the results you saw from working with other aluminum conduit & EMT suppliers in South Carolina, it’s time to turn to American Conduit. Did another supplier ever run out of conduit when you needed it the most? That will never be a concern when you work with us. Not only do we have a nationwide network of more than 20 warehouses and 30 distributors, we also have more than a million pounds of product in stock. We will never let you down.
Why Switch to Aluminum Conduit?
There are a lot of reasons to make the change, actually. Three of the most important ones are safety, strength and cost. Here’s a closer look at each.
Safety
You prioritize the health of your workers over everything else. That’s why changing to aluminum conduit should be a priority as well. Steel produces sparks, which can be disastrous if you work in an environment where there’s a risk of exposure. If you’re installing conduit inside, then you’ll want to stay away from steel because it can emit noxious fumes when temperatures get high. Aluminum won’t do that, nor will it produce sparks. No matter how volatile your environment may be, you can have true peace of mind by using aluminum.
Strength
While you know steel is strong, did you know aluminum is just as strong? At least that’s the case when you use conduit from American Conduit. We treat our aluminum with special alloys that give it incredible strength. No matter how demanding your application may be, our conduit will continue to exceed your expectations day after day, year after year.
As an added benefit, aluminum won’t develop rust, and it won’t corrode. You could get galvanized steel that will do the same thing, but you’ll be paying much, much more in the process.
Cost
If you’re like most executives, you are always looking for ways to increase profitability. Changing from steel to aluminum conduit will help you accomplish that goal. The reason is that aluminum costs as much as 60 percent less than steel per pound. We are able to make our products so affordable largely because we’re part of the leader in aluminum extrusion, Hydro. That gives us a nearly unlimited amount of aluminum to make our conduit, and we can pass the savings on to you.
In addition to materials, you’ll also save on labor, thanks to the fact that aluminum is 30 percent lighter than steel. Your workers probably install 10-foot lengths of conduit. That amount of steel conduit weighs in at nearly 100 pounds. A 10-foot length of aluminum conduit, on the other hand, only weighs 34 pounds.
You’ll no longer have to deal with the inefficiency of assigning two (or possibly even three) workers to a conduit installation. More than likely, you’ll only need one. That will free your other workers to tackle other tasks – slashing your labor costs while boosting your efficiency.
