American Conduit

Huge Thanks to the Root Engineering Services P.C. Team for taking time to learn about the advantages of American Conduit PullEase™ Aluminum EMT! We look forward to working with you all on the next one!

How Is PullEase™ Less Expensive Than Steel EMT? It's a combination of extrusion technology and the cost & weight of the material. The aluminum emt extrusion process is much more cost effective than its steel counterpart. Also, saving labor hours by being significantly lesser weight than steel allowing to be installed quicker. Interested? Email john.pena@hydro.com

Our patented internal ridged design means PullEase™ EMT requires less pulling force than other aluminum EMT and will feel much like traditional EMT pulls. Lubrication is not necessary with PullEase™ EMT.

When it comes to bending aluminum EMT, standard benders, one size larger than the size of the conduit, should be used on conduit trade sizes 1” and smaller. Conventional equipment is recommended for larger trade sizes.

Cost is not the only advantage rigid aluminum conduit has over rigid steel conduit. Rigid aluminum conduit also performs better in the field and has superior durability; it resists corrosion and will not rust or discolor, even after extended outdoor exposure, minimizing the dangerous conditions that arise when steel rusts out. This is particularly important in outdoor installations, such as bridges, tunnels, parking garages and other outdoor construction areas involving infrastructure.

How is PullEase™ Different From Other Aluminum EMT? PullEase™ is an improvement on smooth inner diameter aluminum EMT. Our engineers developed a proprietary and patented extrusion design that reduce the interior surface friction with a ridged design. Wires are much easier to pull, without the need for any messy lubrication.

Because rigid aluminum conduit is produced as a single pipe, there is no welded seam as there is with rigid steel conduit, which can fail or snag wires during installation. Rigid aluminum conduit can also be easily bent and threaded—equal to, or more easily than rigid steel conduit—representing an easier pull-through and faster installation.

Rigid aluminum conduit elbows are available in a range of sizes and forms to complete your aluminum conduit order. Combine conduit, couplings, and elbows to create the perfect system for your installation needs.
