Steel Conduit

Overview

Steel conduit has been in use as a “raceway system” for electrical conductors since the early 1900s. Steel conduit and tubing is the most resilient, most protective, and most durable electrical raceway available. No matter what type of electrical project you are working on, there is a solution in steel conduit and tubing that will provide value for years to come.

Types of Steel Conduit & Tubing

The basic types of steel raceways in use today are steel rigid metal conduit (RMC), intermediate metal conduit (IMC) and electrical metallic tubing (EMT). The strength of steel makes galvanized steel rigid conduit, intermediate metal conduit and electrical metallic tubing the wiring methods recognized as providing superior mechanical protection to the enclosed wire conductors.

Benefits of Steel Conduit

steel conduit STI Product Overview & Benefits - Steel Conduit

Most Universal

As buildings get more complex, the National Electric Code® (NFPA 70) places more restrictions on more wiring methods — but steel conduit is still allowed everywhere.

Most Resilient & Sustainable

Long-lasting and highly recyclable, steel conduit demonstrates the greatest resiliency and is the most sustainable raceway option. Learn more >

Most Flexible & Affordable

As buildings change and expand over time, other wiring solutions have to be removed and reinstalled — but steel conduit can be reused again and again. Learn more >

Durability of Steel Conduit & Tubing

Today’s buildings are designed for life spans of 50 to 80 years — and steel conduit and EMT lasts at least that long, making it the essential component of modern electrical systems. Additionally, because physical impact and corrosive elements don’t compromise its integrity, it retains its ability to protect against electromagnetic interference (EMI) over time.  Learn more >
