When the time comes to buy aluminum conduit in Kansas, you won’t have any shortage of companies to go with, of course. But if you want true cost-effectiveness, and you want a reliable supplier, American Conduit should be your first and only choice. We will save you an incredibly large amount of money compared to steel conduit, and we’ll always have plenty of conduit in stock. Also, we have warehouses and distributors across the US, so you’ll receive your conduit when you need it the most.
A Brief Look at Our Company
American Conduit has been around more than three decades, and we’re extremely proud to be part of the global leader in aluminum extrusion, Hydro. That’s why we have about a million pounds of conduit on hand at all times.
If you’re wondering why it makes so much sense to make the change from steel conduit to aluminum, here are just a few things to keep in mind.
Substantial Savings
The thing that stands out the most when comparing aluminum to steel is cost. Aluminum costs about 60 percent less per pound, and about 20 percent less per foot. If your conduit needs are extensive enough, there’s an extremely good chance that you could help your company save hundreds of thousands of dollars.
But you won’t just save on materials, you’ll also save on labor costs. A 10-foot section of aluminum conduit weights about 34 pounds. The same length of steel weighs closer to 100. If you’ve been using steel for a long time, then you’re probably used to having to assign three workers to one installation.
With aluminum, you’ll see your efficiency skyrocket. The reason is that you’ll only need one worker for an installation instead of three. You can send those other two to other installations, knocking three of them out in the time it used to take just to do one.
Safety
As important as cost savings – more important, in fact – is worker safety. If you have a volatile workplace, such as a gas refinery, a single spark can be catastrophic. Unfortunately, steel conduit can create that spark – but aluminum can’t. Not only that, aluminum also won’t catch fire. You can use it in any environment with total peace of mind.
Also, steel can get incredibly hot or cold to the touch, depending on the outside temperature. That won’t ever be an issue with aluminum, no matter how hot or cold it might get.
Incredible Strength
Aluminum costs a lot less than steel, and it’s also a great deal safer. That must mean you’ll have to give something up when it comes to performance, right? No. That’s not the case at all. American Conduit products contain aluminum fortified with 6000 series alloys. What that means to you is that your aluminum conduit will be just as strong as steel.
But it will also last longer as well, since it won’t rust or corrode, thanks to a natural coating of aluminum oxide. Steel will degrade over time unless it’s coated with very expensive materials.
Sustainability
Aluminum is arguably the most environmentally-friendly metal of all. In fact, about 75 percent of all aluminum ever produced is still in use. No matter how many times you recycle it, aluminum will not lose any of its qualities.
