Intermediate Metal Conduit: A Practical Guide for Electrical Contractors
As you know intimately, conduits are tubing systems that safeguard and guide wiring within a building or structure. Three types you've likely used —Intermediate Metal Conduit (IMC), Rigid Metal Conduit (RMC), and Electrical Metallic Tubing (EMT)— are steel-based conduits, each with its unique attributes.

Know Your Conduit Options for Corrosive Applications
When it comes to metal conduit, the choice for electrical contractors
can often boil down to three options: galvanized steel, aluminum or
stainless steel. However, in particularly challenging environments,
stainless steel offers advantages the other two materials can’t match.

Understanding Electrical Conduits and Their Associated Bending Tools
Electrical installations require an understanding of various components,
chief among them being electrical conduits and the tools used to shape
them. This article aims to shed light on the different types of rigid
electrical conduit and the appropriate bending tools required for each.

Stability, Reliability, and Longevity for Rooftop Support Systems
Rooftop support systems are an integral part of conduit, piping, and
mechanical installations that often go underappreciated. These unsung
heroes of the rooftop world provide a stable and secure foundation for
equipment, ensuring that everything from HVAC units to solar panels
stays in place, regardless of weather conditions or external forces.

Sealant Options for Safer Conduits
Conduit provides a protective passageway for electrical and data cables.
Unfortunately, it also can provide a passageway for moisture and
hazardous and/or explosive gases to move from one area of a facility to
another, as well.

Wax or Polymer – Understanding the Options with Cable Lubricants
Wire and cable pulling can be strenuous work, especially when distances
stretch several floors or more. Lubricants are an important part of this
process – they help reduce friction between cables and conduit, which,
in turn, reduces the risk of damage, wear and tear on cable insulators.
