Electrical conduits are protective tubes designed to encase and safeguard electrical wiring, cables, and communication lines. They provide a pathway for these essential components, shielding them from mechanical damage, moisture, dust, and other environmental factors. Conduits play a critical role in maintaining the integrity and safety of electrical systems, making them a fundamental aspect of any construction project.
Metal Conduits:
EMT (Electrical Metallic Tubing): Made of galvanized steel, EMT is lightweight and easy to bend. It’s suitable for exposed installations.
Rigid Metal Conduit: Made of thick steel, rigid conduits offer high-level protection in demanding environments.
IMC (Intermediate Metal Conduit): A lighter alternative to rigid conduit, IMC provides moderate protection and is often used indoors.
