PullEase EMT in Brief
PullEase aluminum EMT (electrical metallic tubing) is a form of conduit that has thin walls and an unthreaded interior. We call it PullEase because it makes pulling cables and wires more convenient than ever before. Since you don’t need to lubricate the interior (like you would with EMT from other manufacturers), you can perform an installation in a fraction of the time it used to take.
Connecting different sections of PullEase EMT is easy as well. All you need is a fitting formed in the shape of a clamp. This fitting will go around the sections you want to connect. You then secure the clamp with a setscrew.
Industrial and commercial operations use PullEase EMT on a regular basis. The reason is that it performs time in and time out. Also, you don’t need any special equipment to manipulate PullEase EMT. You can bend it and cut it using the tools you already have – you don’t need to go out and purchase more.
Also, EMT can also serve as a grounding conductor for your electrical equipment. That will make any future wiring changes a breeze, since you won’t have to purchase another grounding conductor.
Other Reasons to Choose PullEase Aluminum EMT
There are still a lot of people who swear by steel conduit. They believe it’s the only material even worth considering. If you’re in that group, here are a couple of facts that might change your mind.
- Aluminum offers cost savings as well as labor savings. It’s only about a third of the weight of steel, so it costs anywhere from 10-20 percent less per foot. Since it weighs less, you won’t need as many workers to perform an installation. The average installation of 10-foot steel conduit will typically require at least two workers, maybe three. A PullEase EMT installation will only take one.
- But just because PullEase EMT is light, that doesn’t mean it’s not tough. You can install PullEase in just about any sort of indoor or outdoor environment. If you’re installing conduit in a damp area, you can use PullEase EMT with complete confidence, because it won’t rust or corrode.
