Reasons to Switch from Steel to Aluminum
A lot of contractors use steel conduit just because that’s what they’ve always done. But if you’re looking for the best value for your dollar, aluminum is the way to go. These are just some of the areas where aluminum soundly beats steel – actually, it’s not even a fair fight.
- Weight – Aluminum is one-third the weight of steel, yet our aluminum alloys make our products just as strong. Instead of needing multiple workers to lift and move steel, and then install it, one person can do all of those jobs with aluminum. You’ll not only save on labor, you’ll also save on shipping.
- Performance – Aluminum conduit performs just as well as steel – better, in fact. Steel will rust and degrade over time unless it has a protective zinc coating, but aluminum doesn’t have that problem. That means you can use it in wet environments, or environments where a large amount of chemicals are present.
- Safety – Steel conduit emits sparks, which could lead to a devastating accident when installed near any volatile substances. Aluminum is non-sparking, eliminating that risk. Aluminum is also safe to use near sensitive electrical equipment, since it won’t allow interference from the wiring it protects.
- Sustainability – Aluminum fits in nicely with your sustainability strategy. The reason is that it’s 100 percent recyclable. In fact, nearly three-quarters of the aluminum that has ever been manufactured is still in use. You can use it over and over again, and it will still remain just as strong, durable and cost effective. Aluminum can even help you qualify for LEED credits. It can be re-melted without emitting any poisonous gases or other types of toxins.
- Ease of use – You can easily cut or bend aluminum using the equipment you already have. In addition, research shows that it’s just as easy to move cable through aluminum as it is to move it through steel.
