Reasons to Use Aluminum Conduit Rather Than Steel
You can easily crush an aluminum can with one hand. You might only need two fingers of one hand. So, how on earth could you count on aluminum conduit? Steel will be the much better option, right?
Nothing could be farther from the truth.
There are many, many ways that aluminum soundly defeats steel. Here are just a few.
- Aluminum costs anywhere from 40-60 percent less per pound than steel. The main reason is that it’s only one-third the weight. You’ll save on materials, and you’ll also save on shipping. We’ve had many customers that saved hundreds of thousands of dollars simply by switching to aluminum.
- Changing to aluminum will result in a much more efficient operation since you’ll complete installations much faster, and you can take care of multiple installations simultaneously. But you won’t only save on materials and shipping. You’ll also save on labor costs. Since a 10-foot length of aluminum only weighs about 34 pounds, one person could easily take care of an installation. Steel, on the other hand, weighs about 100 pounds. You’ll need at least two workers to transport it and install it.
- You might assume that you’ll have to be sacrificing something, that aluminum is too good to be true when you consider the savings and increased efficiency. But that’s not at all the case. American Conduit aluminum is just as strong as steel, and it’s also more durable. You can’t go wrong.
- You should consider switching to aluminum when you prize safety above everything else. Steel emits sparks as well as noxious fumes when exposed to extreme heat. Aluminum does neither. It’s entirely safe for use, no matter how volatile your environment is.
