Steel Conduits
Aili Peal
Unlike plastic or rubber solutions, metal conduits are suitable for applications where, for example, high temperatures exist or where chemical resistance is required. But not all metal conduits are the same. Different areas of application place different demands on the material and manufacturing process.
For more precise planning from the very first idea: Most of our non-metal as well as metallic conduits and fittings are available to you free of charge as 2D and 3D models. See for yourself now and get straight into planning.
We offer many other product solutions that are perfect for specific industrial applications. Let's discover together which product is best suited for your concrete usage. Contact our experts now.
The PVC outer sheath makes the PCS wiring conduit resistant to alkalis, acids and chemicals. It also provides very good protection against corrosion.
The NCS metal hose with PA6 jacket is characterised by excellent tensile strength. It is resistant to high temperatures, compression and impact. It also delivers good abrasion resistance and is very flexible.
Whether elbow compression fitting, compression fitting with strain relief and cable seal or plain end insert: we have the right fitting for your application.
We would like to make it easier for you to find the right conduit. Therefore, together with the software service provider CADENAS, we provide most of our electrical conduits and fittings as 2D and 3D models free for your use.
Protective conduit solutions made of metal impress with high impact and temperature resistance. In addition, many metallic electrical conduits are also resistant to liquids such as oil, gasoline or chemicals. Other tubing offers electromagnetic protection (EMC shielding).
To connect a cable conduit to your device, you need the right fitting. We offer you a variety of different connectors. The naming of our accessories is always structured the same, so that you can easily find the right solution.
To cut metal tubes, you usually need a hacksaw. Precise cutting also requires firm grip on the tubing. With the HelaGuard CONCLAMP, you can securely hold various metallic tubings in place so that you can cut them accurately with the help of a suitable saw.
In general, wire conduits have good resistance to chemicals. But some conduits are more resistant than others, depending on the material and type of manufacture. That's why a closer look is needed.
You can feel confident with steel conduit for many reasons. Not only does steel conduit protect conductors against a wide range of physical risks, but it delivers a variety of business benefits, too.
I went around the deck first making a mark where each pipe strap would be using a scrap 22 that I marked with a magic marker. I put all the straps over my marks leaving the screws a touch loose so it would be easy to thread the pipe through. Once the pipe was in place I just had to tighten them all down.
At first I was going to try and have the seams random but once I started adding the pipe I preferred the look of all the seams in the same place. (I did cut the pipe in one place so every single length of pipe I used hit on at least two hole straps.) When I was at this it occurred to me just how versatile this idea is. Why not use PVC pipe and spray paint it to look like copper or wrought iron? Or you could just literally use copper pipe or galvanized pipe (though the expense would be more) and you could also use big rope here too.
All in the deck rails cost only about $110! Pretty amazing for only a couple of hours of work and now my deck finally looks almost finished. (If you need help affording this upgrade, see if same day title loans can help you get this project started.) Next job is to make the gates! (Note: you will have to check with your local building ordinances if you want to build a deck railing up to code ESPECIALLY if you plan on selling your home. Every state, city and county has their own very specific ordinances I also double checked with my house insurance company to make sure that this would work with my plan.)
Oh my gosh Tarah I love this idea!!! I am a big fan of the plumbing and electrical departments! haha. You never know what you can re-purpose in that section cheaply. ? This is such a fun idea! I will have to keep this handy when we build our deck in the next couple of years. Thanks so much for the idea. pinned:)
Hi, awesome site and love many of the ideas that you have! I have been working on our new house for some time now @ I have a gallery on the home page hero slider or on one of the posts with snow not sure as I type but there should be some pics of the deck. A friend has the stainless steel railings and as you stated it was costly. I have given your idea some thought as well as using black pvc pipe. What i am curious about is how rusted are the conduits a year and a half later? Are you still happy with them?
Hi Karen, no rust at all actually which really surprised me! I was expecting at least some as here in northern MN we have pretty rough weather but no they look as good as the day I installed them actually!

This time if you know enough about PVC, RMC, EMT and IMC, solving this problem will be a piece of cake for you. In the field of electrical conduit, you can choose from many materials and brands. In this post, we will explain all the commonly used types and elaborate on the advantages and disadvantages of each material.
PVC stands for Polyvinylchloride which is a tenacious chemically resistant synthetic resin. It has been a widely used plastic material to protect power in houses, telecommunications and utilities since 1932. A PVC conduit is commonly known as a white rigid (or flexible) PVC tube for threading and protecting wires from corrosion and electrical leakage.
The most basic of the home improving is the installation of wire layout. In order to protect the wire when designing the system, we will use PVC conduit. Since the wire thickness is different, PVC conduit is also divided into different size specifications to adapt to the arrangement.
Metal conduit is also created to protect electrical wires and cables. It is commonly used to run along building walls and floors, but due to its durability, it is also suitable for exposed areas that are susceptible to impact. Metal conduit can withstand high temperatures and pressures, making it a good choice for hazardous site conditions in industrial and commercial applications. They are classified as RMC, EMT, IMC and FMC. The RMC and IMC metal conduits are more pressure-bearing than others and are suitable for heavy-duty applications where physical damage is more likely to occur. EMT conduits are easier to bend and cut so they help create smooth and continuous run for faster wire installations.
Rigid Metal Conduit, a threaded rigid raceway with a circular cross section and thick walls. One of the main advantages of the RMC is that its thick walls protect sensitive equipment from electromagnetic interference. The difference between the RMC and the EMT is that the EMT is not threaded, while the RMC is threaded and has thicker and heavier walls, thus costing more.
The material of this type of metal conduit is generally steel which is divided into galvanized and non-galvanized steel. The galvanizing process adds a protective layer of zinc to steel conduit to help prevent corrosion. This type of RMC is called GRC (galvanized rigid conduit). Even so, however, GRC is still susceptible to rust and deterioration.
