Aluminum – Why it’s the Clear Choice for Your Conduit Needs
Rigid metal conduit (RMC) has thick walls and threaded tubing that is not only durable, but very easy to connect. It does a superior job of protecting wiring and cables from not only accidental impacts, but also electromagnetic interference that could damage delicate computer equipment, as well as other electronics.
RMC typically comes in either aluminum or steel. Aluminum has gained significantly in popularity in recent years, because companies are realizing that it’s just as strong as steel, but costs a great deal less. In fact, you could see a savings of as much as 40-60 percent per pound versus steel.
How can this be? The answer lies in the weight of aluminum. It’s only about a third of the weight of steel, so you can use the same amount and cover three times the distance. Not only is it a more cost-effective method of installing conduit, it also costs much less to ship should the need ever arise.
So, when most people find out how much less aluminum costs, they typically assume there must be some kind of catch. They think that they’ll have to give up something in order to save that much money.
But that’s not the case at all. Aluminum doesn’t rust or corrode like steel, so you can put it in the ground knowing it will keep your cables and wiring protected for years to come.
