You’ll find a wide range of rigid electrical conduit sizes from American Conduit. You’ll also find a huge supply. We’re part of Hydro, the world leader in aluminum extrusion. As a result, you’ll never have to worry about us running short. In fact, we have about a million pounds of conduit in stock at all times. We also have a network of distributors and stocking warehouses that stretches across the nation. If you’ve ever had to deal with the frustration of downtime because you ran out of conduit, those days will be over for good.
For more than four decades, American Conduit has earned a reputation for providing the highest quality conduit at affordable prices. Companies have used our products in a wide range of applications, including telecommunications, coal mining, wastewater treatment, textiles, food processing and many others. We provide rigid aluminum conduit in a wide variety of lengths, and in diameters ranging from ½-inch to 6 inches.
American Conduit recently unveiled our PullEase™ aluminum EMT (electrical metallic tubing) conduit. As the name implies, PullEase™ makes it possible to pull wire faster than ever before, without the need for any sort of messy, troublesome lubrication.
In addition, we also provide products that can meet whatever your joining needs may be. You can combine our conduit with elbows and couplings to use during your installation, and we have them in many different sizes as well.
The Benefits of Choosing Aluminum Conduit
For years, construction managers, engineers and contractors routinely used steel conduit to protect their wires and cables. One of the reasons why so many professionals simply default to steel is that they’re working under many misconceptions when it comes to aluminum conduit. We’re here to clear up those misconceptions.
Actually, when you consider all of the benefits of aluminum, you’ll quickly see that it’s the superior choice to steel in just about every application. These are just some of the reasons why that is the case.
- PullEase™ aluminum EMT is much easier to use than steel in buildings that have curved or irregular profiles. You simply connect sections using clamp-style fittings that quickly slide on. Then, you secure the clamps using a set-screw.
- Aluminum conduit, whether you choose EMT or rigid conduit, is a lot more convenient to use than steel. Unlike steel, you don’t need a lot of special tools to cut or bend aluminum. As a result, your installations will not only be more efficient, they’ll also be neater.
- Over time, steel will corrode. That makes it unsuitable for moist environments, or environments that contain a lot of chemicals (such as a food processing facility). On the other hand, aluminum won’t corrode. It contains a natural layer of aluminum oxide that keeps it intact for years and years.
- Aluminum, when proper sealing fittings are used, does a better job than steel of providing protection in volatile environments. It prevents gases, fumes, and other flammable substances from flowing through the conduit.
