Aluminum Rigid Metal Conduit

Aluminum RMC: Lightweight Corrosion Fighter

Aluminum Rigid Metal Conduit is about one-third the weight of steel RMC. Aluminum conduit can be readily cut, bent or threaded on the job, and it requires no special tools or installation equipment. In installations using large size conduit, ease of field fabrication is of special significance. Aluminum resists most corrosive atmospheres and industrial environments without special painting or coatings. Its non-sparking, which eliminates a hazard in explosive atmospheres, especially when flammable or combustible gases, liquids or vapors may be present. Aluminum conduit is nonmagnetic, which reduces power losses caused by voltage drops and can result in power savings during the life of the installation. The Winning Team When the job needs to be done on time and within budget, rely on Wheatland. Wheatland Aluminum Rigid Conduit is extruded in the U.S. and is in stock and ready to ship. With Wheatland you have a trusted partner, with the highest quality product and the best technical and product support in the industry. Experience. Quality. Total support system. You and Wheatland. Thats the winning team. A Quick Look at Wheatlands Aluminum RMC Wheatland Aluminum Rigid Conduit is made from 6063 aluminum alloy, T-1 temper (formerly designated T-42). Its a marine grade alloy that provides high strength and corrosion resistance. Applications: Wheatland Aluminum RMC can be installed indoors or outdoors, in dry or wet locations, exposed or concealed, where judged suitable for the environment, and in hazardous locations, when in accordance with National Electrical Code. Coatings: Rigid Aluminum Conduit is highly corrosion-resistant and requires no additional mill coatings. Nominal trade sizes from to 6 Aluminum RMC is produced in traditional standard lengths of 10 feet, including coupling, is threaded on both ends, with a coupling applied to one end and a thread protector, industry color-coded by size, to the other. Protection: Good mechanical protection, resists most corrosive atmospheres and industrial environments. Aluminum can be recycled over and over without breaking down. Recycling scrap aluminum requires only 5% of the energy used to make new aluminum. For this reason, approximately 31% of all aluminum produced in the United States comes from recycled scrap.
