If you buy aluminum conduit in Minnesota from any other place than American Conduit, there’s a very good chance you’ll be paying far too much for an inferior product. That’s a bold statement to be sure, but we can back it up. In fact, we’ve been doing just that for more than three decades. We are the leading supplier of aluminum PullEase EMT and rigid conduit in Minnesota, as well as the rest of the country. Give us a try and you’ll quickly see why that’s the case.
American Conduit – A Quick Look
As a brand of the leading aluminum extruder in the world, Hydro, American Conduit has access to a virtually unlimited supply of conduit. At any time, we’ll typically have about a million pounds in stock. We also have distributors and stocking warehouses across the nation. So, not only will you always be able to count on us to have the conduit you need, we’ll be able to get it to you when you need it as well.
These are just some of the many reasons why you should turn to us – especially if you haven’t yet made the switch to aluminum conduit from steel.
Cost Savings
Any enterprise is going to want to cut costs wherever possible. Aluminum conduit will allow you to do just that. Since it only weighs a third of the weight of steel, aluminum can save you as much as 60 percent per pound. You’ll also see substantial savings in regard to labor, since you won’t have to devote as many workers to an installation.
Convenience and Worker Safety
Another benefit of aluminum being lighter weight is that it’s much easier to manipulate. You can cut it and bend it without the need for any special tools. In addition, your workers will find it much easier to maneuver aluminum and put it into place – they won’t be at nearly as high a risk for suffering back injuries. Aluminum is also safe for any environment, regardless of how volatile that workplace may be. The reason is that aluminum doesn’t emit sparks, and it doesn’t burn.
Strength
So, since aluminum costs less, and is safer, that means you’ll be sacrificing in the area of strength. But that’s not the case at all – as long as you’re using products from American Conduit. We use aluminum fortified with 6000 Series alloys, making our conduit just as strong as steel. When the weather turns bitterly cold, our conduit will actually get even stronger. Steel, on the other hand, will typically become brittle.
Conductivity
Aluminum is also safe for your sensitive electronic equipment. The wires and cables that go through conduit can sometimes emit electromagnetic interference. That, of course, can render computers and other electronics inoperative. Aluminum provides a protective shield against that interference.
Sustainability
There is no friendlier material to the environment. In fact, you might be surprised to know that 75 percent of all aluminum ever produced is still being used to this day. You can recycle it multiple times and it will retain its strength and durability.
