Conduit does more than organize wiring. It provides a defined pathway for electrical conductors and can help protect them from physical damage.
But conduit isn't one-size-fits-all. Different raceway types are designed for different installation requirements, environments, and applications.
Common types include:
• EMT (Electrical Metallic Tubing): A lightweight metal raceway commonly used for exposed installations.
• RMC (Rigid Metal Conduit): A heavy-duty rigid metal raceway that provides substantial mechanical protection.
• IMC (Intermediate Metal Conduit): A rigid metal raceway that is lighter than RMC while still providing mechanical protection.
• PVC: A nonmetallic raceway that is corrosion-resistant and permitted for a variety of applications, including certain underground installations.
• FMC (Flexible Metal Conduit): A flexible metal raceway used where flexibility is needed, including connections to equipment and other locations where movement or adjustment may be necessary.
Choosing the right raceway is only part of the job. Proper routing, bending, joining, and support are all essential to a quality conduit installation. At Wang, we know that excellence is often found in the smallest details.
