Typical Installation Practices |
|
Cutting — A hacksaw may be used to cut trade sizes 1/2" thru 1-1/4". Power cut-off tools are recommended for larger sizes. |
|
Bending — Standard EMT Benders (one size larger than the size being bent) may be used for trade sizes 1/2" thru 1". Conventional Bending equipment is recommended for larger sizes. |
|
Threading — Sharp dies and conventional cutting oil are recommended. Contact Customer Service for a list of recommended "Aluminum-Specific" Cutting lubricants. |
|
Fittings — Aluminum fittings are recommended, however galvanized fittings may be used for most installations. |
|
Fishing and Wire Pulling — For trade sizes 1/2" thru 1-1/2", and on runs <100 feet, polyethylene fish tapes or speedometer type steel cables may be used. Avoid the use of flat steel tapes. For trade sizes 2" and above, and on runs >100 feet, polypropylene rope is recommended. |
|
Soil or Concrete Installation — UL′s Electrical Construction Equipment Directory (UL Green Book) states that supplementary corrosion protection is required for aluminum conduit used in concrete or in contact with soil. Supplementary protection examples include paints (bitumastic) or wraps approved for the purpose, or PVC coated aluminum conduit. |
