The true leader among aluminum EMT & conduit suppliers in Columbus, OH, American Conduit offers unmatched value and quality. We can help you control the costs of your installation project in ways you might not have imagined possible, simply by changing to aluminum from steel conduit. When you work with us, you’ll never have to worry about running out of conduit when you need it the most.
A Brief Look at American Conduit
As part of the leading aluminum extruder in the world, Hydro, American Conduit has unlimited access to the finest aluminum available. This aluminum is treated with special alloys that give it amazing strength. It’s just as strong as steel, and it’s also more durable. Our more than 20 stocking warehouses across the country contain about a million pounds of conduit at any time of the night or day. We also have more than 30 distributors nationwide, so you’ll always receive your conduit on your timeframe.
Cost-Effectiveness
Every operation is looking to cut costs wherever possible in order to maximize profits. Aluminum conduit will help you do just that. Aluminum costs anywhere from 40-60 percent less per pound than steel, and you can also see labor savings of up to 75 percent. Since aluminum weighs about 30 percent less, you won’t have to assign as many workers to an installation. You can have multiple installations going on at once, so your efficiency will increase dramatically.
Other Advantages of Aluminum
The cost savings associated with switching to aluminum are impressive enough. But there are many, many more reasons you should make the change. Here’s a quick look at just a few of them.
- American Conduit aluminum is “marine grade,” meaning that it has incredible strength. If you’re installing conduit in extremely cold temperatures, our rigid metallic conduit will get even stronger. It won’t become brittle and eventually break like steel.
- While steel can produce sparks, and can also emit toxic fumes when burned, aluminum is completely safe to use in any sort of environment. It also remains safe to touch, no matter how hot or cold the outside temperatures may get.
- Aluminum is protected from rust and corrosion by a natural coating of aluminum oxide. The same definitely can’t be said for steel. Unless it has a coating of very expensive materials, steel will eventually degrade. This will expose sensitive cables and wiring to the elements.
- If you install conduit near sensitive electronic equipment, aluminum should definitely be your first choice. It provides an electromagnetic shield, protecting equipment from interference that cables and wires can sometimes produce.
- Aluminum is also one of the most sustainable materials on the planet. In fact, about three-quarters of all aluminum that has ever been produced is actually still being used. That’s how recyclable aluminum is. It can be recycled over and over again without losing any of its strength.
- Our conduit meets or exceeds all industry standards, continually outperforming steel in every category.
