They turn to us on a regular basis because they know our products are durable, and we always have an ample supply.

Breaking Down Steel Versus Aluminum
You could crush a soda can with very little effort – it might only take you a couple of fingers. So you might be wondering how aluminum could possibly be a good material for aluminum conduit. The answer might surprise you.
Regular aluminum is obviously fragile. But we don’t use regular aluminum. Instead, we treat ours with 6000 series alloys, which make our conduit and fittings just as strong as steel.
But there are other reasons you should consider switching from steel to aluminum. Here are just a few.
- Your biggest priority with any job is safety, but cost runs an extremely close second. You can make your dollar stretch a lot farther with aluminum, because it’s much less expensive than steel. Since it’s only about a third of the weight of steel, you won’t pay nearly as much in materials. You’ll also pay less in shipping.
- But the cost savings don’t stop there. A 10-foot section of steel conduit weighs in the neighborhood of 100 pounds. The same length of steel conduit only weighs 34 pounds. As a result, you won’t have to devote as many workers to an installation. You’ll not just see substantial labor savings, you’ll also see an increase in efficiency, since you can assign those other workers to other tasks.
- Aluminum is also very durable. Unlike steel, aluminum doesn’t need any special protection against corrosion or rust. It has a built-in layer of aluminum oxide that helps it last for decades.
