When installing electrical conduit, anything that speeds up the process without sacrificing quality is a win. That’s why PullEase™ aluminum electrical metal tubing (EMT) from American Conduit has become a go-to choice for electricians looking to improve efficiency.
Here are some reasons why PullEase™ EMT is a game-changer for conduit installations.
Smoother Interior for Easy Wire Pulling
One of the biggest challenges when working with steel conduit is the friction it creates during wire pulling. The rougher interior surface means wires don’t glide through as easily, often requiring lubricants to prevent snags and excessive force. PullEase™ EMT, on the other hand, has a naturally smoother interior, which significantly reduces resistance. This allows wires to move through the conduit effortlessly, saving electricians time and effort while reducing the risk of damaging the wires.
Eliminating Lubrication Speeds Up Installation
Applying lubrication might not seem like a big deal, but it adds extra steps to the installation process. With steel conduit, electricians often have to pause, coat the wires with lubricant and carefully guide them through to avoid bunching or kinking. This not only slows down the job but also creates additional cleanup afterward. PullEase™ EMT eliminates the need for lubrication altogether, streamlining the process and allowing installations to be completed much faster.
Less Mess, Less Waste, and Fewer Costs
Lubricants can be messy. They get on hands, tools and work surfaces, requiring cleanup that takes up valuable time. Overuse of lubricant can also lead to waste, increasing material costs. With PullEase™ EMT, there’s no need to deal with excess product or worry about residue buildup. This not only makes the worksite cleaner but also reduces overall expenses, making projects more cost-efficient.
Reduced Risk of Wire Damage
Friction isn’t just an inconvenience – it can cause serious issues. With steel conduit, excessive resistance during wire pulling increases the chances of damaging insulation or even breaking the wire itself. This leads to costly rework and potential safety hazards. The smooth interior of PullEase™ EMT minimizes these risks, ensuring that wires remain intact and installations go smoothly without unnecessary setbacks.
Easier Handling and Bending
PullEase™ EMT isn’t just easier to work with because of its smooth interior – it’s also lighter and more flexible than steel. This makes it simpler to maneuver, cut, and bend, allowing electricians to work more efficiently in tight spaces. Whether installing conduit overhead or around obstacles, PullEase™ EMT provides a hassle-free experience, helping workers complete jobs with less physical strain and fatigue.
Long-Term Performance Without Maintenance
While steel conduit is strong, it’s prone to rust and corrosion, especially in humid or outdoor environments. This often requires protective coatings or ongoing maintenance to prevent deterioration. PullEase™ EMT naturally resists corrosion, making it a low-maintenance choice that keeps electrical systems in top shape for years. The combination of easy installation and long-term durability makes it an unbeatable option for contractors looking to maximize efficiency.
