Aluminum – The Many Advantages of this Incredible Material
Many people are under the mistaken impression that steel is the better choice than aluminum when it comes to conduit. However, just the opposite is true. Thanks to the special alloys we use when manufacturing our products, American Conduit aluminum conduit is just as strong as steel. Here are just some of the other reasons why you should always go with aluminum.
- Aluminum costs anywhere from 10 to 20 percent less per foot.
- Since aluminum is so much lighter than steel, it’s far easier to move and install. This could lead to labor savings of as much as 75 percent. The reason is it takes far fewer workers to move aluminum conduit and put it in place.
- The lightweight nature of aluminum also saves money on shipping.
- Unlike steel, aluminum won’t corrode over time. Unless steel has a special protective coating, it will degrade, eventually exposing wiring to the elements or other dangers. Aluminum has a natural protective coating that enhances its durability.
- Aluminum is also safer to use than steel. Steel can emit sparks, creating a potentially hazardous situation. Aluminum doesn’t pose this risk.
- Aluminum provides protection against not only the elements, but also electromagnetic interference. You’ll never have to worry about the performance of your nearby equipment being compromised.
- Not only is aluminum cost effective, it’s also very friendly to the environment. You can recycle this material over and over again and it will maintain its physical characteristics.
- Aluminum is compliant with the National Electric Code®, as well as ANSI C80.5, UL-6A and WW-C-540c. The material also meets the hazardous area requirements of Article 500.
