There’s only one source to consider when you want to buy electrical metal tubing (EMT) – American Conduit. Our incredible products outperform steel conduit in many different ways, and they’re also much less expensive. We’ve routinely saved our customers tens of thousands of dollars on their conduit installations, and we’re ready to do the same for you. Depending on the size of your installations, it’s even possible that we could help you save hundreds of thousands. If you’re still not convinced that you should change from steel conduit to aluminum, we have a few reasons why.
Convenience
If ever a product’s name said it all, PullEase EMT is that product. Your workers will be amazed how much faster they’ll be able to pull wires and cables through PullEase than through any other type of EMT. Our EMT doesn’t require any type of lubrication, since it has slightly raised ridges on the interior. You’ll see your conduit installation efficiency skyrocket as a result.
PullEase is also very simple to use in any kind of environment. You only need to use clamps and setscrews to join different sections together. This will be a huge advantage, since it will allow for installation in odd-shaped rooms, such as a part of a structure that is curved.
Our conduit is built for a wide variety of industrial and commercial applications. It used to be that it took a lot of effort to pull wires through aluminum EMT. But that was a long, long time ago. The fact is that – thanks to PullEase – you can perform this task just as easily as you can with steel.
Cost Effectiveness
We already mentioned just how impactful aluminum conduit can be to your company’s profit margin. You could save as much as 60 percent per square foot. Here are just a few examples of installation projects where our customers saved substantial money.
- D/FW International Airport installation – $21,680
- Textile plant installation (North Carolina) – $43,240
- Electrical utility company installation (Oklahoma) – $56,300
- Paper and pulp mill installation (Alabama) – $112, 500
- Bridge installation (Kansas) – $280,000
Safety
Steel conduit will often produce sparks, and will burn when exposed to extreme heat. That obviously makes using steel an incredibly dangerous proposition in a volatile environment. Those risks won’t be concerns with aluminum. Not only does it not emit sparks, it also can’t burn. Aluminum will also be safe to the touch, regardless of how hot or cold the temperatures may get.
Strength
It might be difficult to believe that aluminum could ever be as strong as steel. After all, it hardly takes any effort to crush a soda can. But our aluminum is different, fortified with special alloys. As a result, you’ll never have to sacrifice strength when you make the change to aluminum.
Environmentally Friendly
If your company is like most, you’re trying to find methods of reducing your impact on our planet. Changing to aluminum will do exactly that. This material is completely recyclable. You might be surprised to learn that three-quarters of all aluminum in use today is recycled. No matter how many times you recycle aluminum, it will still remain just as strong.
