Electrical conduit is a protective tube used to house and protect electrical wiring. It helps prevent damage from moisture, chemicals, and physical impact, ensuring the safety and longevity of electrical systems. Conduits can be made from various materials, including metal, plastic, and fiberglass, each suited for different environments and applications. There are several types of electrical conduit, such as PVC (polyvinyl chloride), EMT (electrical metallic tubing), and RMC (rigid metal conduit). Each type has specific advantages, like flexibility, durability, or resistance to corrosion. Proper installation of electrical conduit is essential for maintaining electrical safety and compliance with building codes.
