Are You Still Using Steel? Here are Some Reasons to Reconsider that Choice
A lot of people simply assume that they should always use steel when it comes to conduit. They’ve been doing it so long they give little thought to using any other type of material. But when it comes to strength, durability, efficiency and affordability, aluminum simply has no equal.
If you haven’t switched to aluminum, here are just a few of the benefits of doing so.
- Value – Aluminum is incredibly cost effective – not just from a materials perspective, but a labor perspective as well. It weighs 30 percent less than steel, so it costs less to buy as well as ship. You won’t need as many people to install aluminum as you do with steel because one person can easily carry it to the installation site. A 10-foot section of aluminum conduit weighs about 34 pounds. The same section of steel, on the other hand, weighs closer to 100 pounds.
- Durability – You might assume that you’ll be sacrificing strength when you purchase aluminum conduit. But nothing could be further from the truth. We treat our aluminum with 6000 series alloys, and these alloys make our conduit just as strong as steel. As an added benefit, aluminum won’t degrade over time due to corrosion. Aluminum will stand up to moist, corrosive environments year after year.
- Sustainability – More and more companies today are more conscious about their impact on the environment than ever before. Aluminum will fit in perfectly with your sustainability strategy. Nearly 80 percent of all the aluminum ever manufactured is still being used, because you can recycle this incredible material time and time again and it will stay just as strong and just as durable.
