PullEase EMT
American Conduit has been in business since 1972. A lot of companies that have been around that long get complacent. After all, they’re very secure in the fact that they’re still making money, so they don’t feel the need to continue to innovate.
That’s not the case with our company. One of the examples of our continued commitment to research is the development of our revolutionary PullEase EMT (electrical metallic tubing). This product has changed the game, making the pulling of cables and wiring much easier than ever before.
The secret is in the design. PullEase features a slightly ridged interior, which greatly reduces friction. While other types of EMT require lubrication before wiring is pulled, that’s not the case with PullEase. This will result in a much quicker installation.
Not only will PullEase speed up an installation, it will also make it much more efficient as well. The reason is that aluminum is only a third the weight of steel. The average section of steel conduit, 10 feet, weighs nearly 100 pounds. It usually takes at least two, possibly even three, workers to carry steel conduit and put it in the ground.
On the other hand, the same length of PullEase only weighs about 34 pounds. In many cases, it will only take one person to perform a PullEase installation. You could see your labor efficiency skyrocket, since you could assign those other workers to other installations. Labor savings of as high as 75 percent will not be out of the question.
Not only will you save on labor, you’ll save on materials as well. Aluminum is as much as 20 percent less expensive than steel per foot.
Other Advantages
As important as material and labor savings can be, there are several other benefits you’ll enjoy by turning to PullEase EMT. Here are just a few to consider.
- You might assume that you’ll have to give up quality in exchange for cost savings, but that’s not true Our conduit contains 6000 Series alloys, giving it the same level of strength as steel.
- In addition to being just as strong as steel, PullEase EMT is much more durable. Steel will develop rust and corrosion unless it’s coated with very costly materials. Aluminum has its own built-in protection against rust. When exposed to the elements, aluminum forms a natural coating of aluminum oxide. Incredibly, this layer can repair itself if broken.
- Safety is yet another area where PullEase is superior to steel. Since aluminum doesn’t burn or emit sparks, you can use it in any environment – regardless of how volatile that environment may be.
