Why use aluminum EMT conduit rather than steel? There are a lot of reasons. Aluminum EMT (electrical metallic tubing) – especially PullEase™ aluminum EMT from American Conduit, offers several distinct advantages over traditional steel conduits. It’s a superior choice for many kinds of electrical installations. From its lightweight and corrosion-resistant properties to its cost-effectiveness and environmental benefits, PullEase™ EMT presents many compelling reasons to opt for this material rather than steel.
A Fraction of the Weight of Steel
A major reason to use PullEase™ EMT is the fact that it weighs about one-third as much as steel. This makes it much easier to handle and install. Your workers will have a much easier time working with PullEase™ reducing labor and installation time in the process. You’ll only need one person to maneuver PullEase™ EMT rather than two or three. This will make a huge difference in projects with longer runs, or installations in hard-to-reach areas, where maneuvering heavy steel conduits can be cumbersome and time-consuming.
Unsurpassed Durability
PullEase™ EMT conduit is also highly durable and reliable, even in harsh environments or areas with high humidity. This corrosion resistance makes it perfect for outside use. You can install PullEase™ EMT just about anywhere, regardless of how humid the environment may be.
It Makes Financial Sense
In addition to its superior performance, a PullEase™ EMT conduit offers cost-effective benefits. You won’t have to pay as much for PullEase™ EMT, and you also won’t have to pay as much should you ever have to ship it to another location. Over the conduit’s lifespan, the corrosion resistance of aluminum EMT conduit also leads to lower maintenance costs, contributing to long-term savings for electrical installations.
Eco-Friendly
Apart from its financial advantages, PullEase™ EMT is also environmentally friendly. You might not know that about 75 percent of all aluminum ever produced is still being used. The reason is that you can recycle it over and over again and it will remain strong and durable. When you choose aluminum, you’re making a statement that you’re committed to our planet, and committed to using our resources in the most responsible manner possible.
Easy to Manipulate and Safe
The ease of working with PullEase™ EMT further strengthens its appeal. Its malleable properties allow workers to manipulate the conduit with extreme ease. No matter how complex the layout of the installation may be, PullEase™ EMT will promote efficiency. You won’t need special fittings and connectors, which will streamline the installation process and save time.
In terms of safety, high-quality aluminum EMT conduit is manufactured to comply with industry standards, ensuring it meets all necessary requirements for electrical installations. Choosing compliant conduit guarantees the safety and reliability of the entire electrical system.
Take the Next Step
When selecting conduit materials for an electrical project, aluminum EMT conduit stands out as a reliable, efficient, and environmentally conscious choice that delivers lasting value and performance. Turning to PullEase™ EMT from American Conduit could be one of the best decisions you’ll ever make for your company. You’ll never regret it.
