There are a lot of reasons why pulling wire through EMT is easier than other types of conduit. PullEase™ EMT from American Conduit makes it even easier than other brands of EMT. Our patented interior ridged design eliminates the need for applying lubricant, making it possible to complete installations in a fraction of the time it previously took.
The Many Benefits of EMT
Electrical metallic tubing (EMT) is used widely in the electrical industry. It is commonly used to protect and route electrical wiring in residential, commercial, and industrial buildings. One of the advantages of using EMT is that pulling wire through it is much easier than with other conduit materials such as rigid metal conduit (RMC) or intermediate metal conduit (IMC). Here are just some of the reasons why pulling wire through PullEase™ EMT is so much easier.
A Patented Ridged Design
PullEase™ EMT has a smooth, ridged interior surface, which makes it easier to pull wire through it. Unlike other conduit materials such as RMC or IMC, which have a rough interior surface, the smooth interior surface of EMT creates less friction and resistance as wires are being pulled through. This reduces the amount of force required to pull the wires through, making the process much easier.
Lightweight Material
Another reason why pulling wire through PullEase™ EMT is so much easier is that it’s a lightweight material. Compared to RMC or IMC, which are heavier and more rigid, PullEase™ EMT is more flexible and easier to handle. The lightweight nature of PullEase™ EMT means that it can be easily maneuvered and positioned during the installation process, making it easier to pull wires through.
Flexibility
PullEase™ EMT is a flexible conduit material, which makes it easier to route around obstacles or tight corners. The flexibility allows it to bend without breaking or kinking, making it easier to route through walls, ceilings and floors. This flexibility also makes it easier to pull wires through, as the conduit can be adjusted to avoid any obstacles or tight corners that may impede the wire-pulling process.
Fewer Connectors Needed
PullEase™ EMT typically requires fewer connectors than other conduit materials such as RMC or IMC. This is because it’s a thinner-walled conduit, which means that it can be bent more easily without kinking or breaking. Fewer connectors mean that there are fewer points where wires can get stuck or snagged, making it easier to pull wires through.
Compatibility with Other Materials
Finally, PullEase™ EMT is compatible with a wide range of other materials used in the electrical industry. For example, it can be easily connected to junction boxes, electrical panels, and other conduit materials such as RMC or IMC. This compatibility makes it easier to integrate PullEase™ EMT into existing electrical systems and to pull wires through it during installations or upgrades.
These factors make PullEase™ EMT an excellent choice for electrical installations, as it can save time, reduce labor costs, and ensure that wires are installed safely and efficiently.
