The cost differences between aluminum conduit and steel are significant. Many of our clients have saved tens of thousands – and in some cases, hundreds of thousands – of dollars just by switching from steel to aluminum. American Conduit can do the same thing for you. There are a lot of ways you can use aluminum conduit, and a lot of reasons other than cost to change from steel.
Rugged and Durable Enough to Meet Challenging Environments
You might think there’s no way that aluminum conduit could ever match the ruggedness of steel. But we’d like to present the other side of that argument – not only is steel just as tough as steel, it’s actually more durable. It really doesn’t matter what the application may be. Aluminum will continually outperform steel on a daily basis. You could operate a food processing facility, where chemicals and water are always present. You might be running conduit outside in a climate that is either scorching hot or bitter cold.
Regardless of your indoor or outdoor environment, aluminum will continue to be up to the test. Here’s a brief look at some of the types of operations that regularly use aluminum conduit from American Conduit.
- Pulp and paper mills
- Industrial, commercial and residential construction projects
- Petrochemical plants
- Coal mines
- Wastewater facilities
- And many others

Money Talks
Aluminum conduit costs anywhere from 40-60 percent less than using steel. The biggest reason is that aluminum is only a third of the weight of steel. As a result, you’ll pay a lot less to buy your conduit, and you’ll also pay a lot less to ship it to another location.
The savings go beyond materials, however, and it all has to do with weight. The typical 10-pound section of steel is extremely heavy – nearly 100 pounds. A 10-foot section of aluminum conduit, on the other hand, only weighs about 34 pounds. You’d need at least two workers to carry and install steel – you’d only need one for aluminum. The labor savings and increased efficiency will be incredible.
We’d be more than happy to tell you more about the cost differences between aluminum conduit and steel, as well as all the other benefits aluminum can provide. Just give American Conduit a call at 1 (800) 334-6825 or contact us online.
