If you are looking for ways to take care of your conduit needs in a way that will stay within your budget, we’ll be ready to help. Since we have about a million pounds of conduit on hand at all times, we can pass the savings on to you. But just because our conduit is affordable, that doesn’t mean you’ll be sacrificing quality. Our conduit it built to last, rugged enough to handle even the harshest environments.
The American Conduit Advantage
We are proud to be a brand of the world’s leading extruder of aluminum, Hydro. For more than 35 years, American Conduit has delivered rigid aluminum conduit, as well as our patented PullEase electrical metallic tubing, to clients across the country. We have aluminum conduit available in a vast range of diameters and lengths, so we can take care of any application.
Affordability You Have to See to Believe
If you’ve purchased conduit in the past, you might have been surprised at how expensive it was. You’ll be just as amazed at how affordable our conduit is, and how much you’ll appreciate its durability.
Aluminum typically costs anywhere from 40-60 percent less than steel – but that’s just for materials. Because aluminum is so much lighter (about one-third the weight) than steel, it’s a great deal easier to maneuver, and a lot easier to install. You won’t need nearly as many workers to install aluminum conduit, so you could see labor savings anywhere from 35 to 75 percent per project. You’ll also save a lot of money on shipping.
Other Advantages of Aluminum
As important as cost may be, there are many other advantages of aluminum over steel that are just as important. Here are just a few.
- Durability and strength – We treat our aluminum with special alloys that make it just as durable – more durable, in fact – and just as strong as steel. American Conduit aluminum actually gets stronger when it gets colder. Steel conduit, on the other hand, will become brittle and prone to breaking.
- Resistance to corrosion – Aluminum has a natural coating of aluminum oxide that makes it impervious to rust, and, as a result, impervious to corrosion. Steel, on the other hand, will streak or rust over time unless coated with extremely expensive materials. No matter how long aluminum is exposed to the elements, it won’t degrade.
- Protective properties – Unlike steel, aluminum reflects light and heat. It’s also non-magnetic. As a result, aluminum will protect nearby sensitive equipment from electromagnetic interference.
- Safety – Steel can emit sparks, which can obviously pose a major safety risk in volatile environments. Aluminum, on the other hand, doesn’t spark. It also won’t catch fire. You can use it with total confidence and rest easy knowing your workers will be safe.
- Earth-friendly – Aluminum can be recycled over and over again without losing any of its characteristics. In fact, nearly three-quarters of all aluminum that has ever been produced is still being used.
