Atkore: The Inside Story of a Better Conduit

Because There’s More to Conduit Than Meets the Eye

Two Different Materials with Two Different Strengths

The right conduit doesn’t just protect your wiring, it can also make the installation process easier, too. Whether you’re looking to reduce friction during wire pulls, simplify installation or provide added protection against physical damage, Atkore has solutions for the job. From EZ Pull EMT to Schedule 80 PVC, each offers its own advantages depending on the demands of your project.

Nobody wants to spend more time than necessary pulling wire through conduit

Atkore’s EZ Pull EMT works on two fronts. Inside, the E-Z Pull coating gives wire a smooth surface to move through, so pulls go faster. Outside, Atkore’s patented inline Flo-Coat galvanizing keeps corrosion off the tube long after the walls close up. One coating speeds the pull, the other protects the tube once it’s installed.

Key Features:

  • E-Z Pull Interior Coating: Smooth interior surface for faster wire pulling.
  • Flo-Coat Galvanizing: Patented inline process for long-lasting exterior protection.
  • Ductile Steel Construction: Bends faster and easier during installation.
  • Mechanical Protection: High-grade mild strip steel protects conductors and extends service life.
  • UL 797 Listed: Meets the applicable Underwriters Laboratories safety standard for EMT.
  • Buy America Compliant: Meets Buy American, Buy America and Build America Buy America (BABA) requirements.
  • Available Sizes: Trade sizes from ½” to 4″.
  • Elbow Options: Available in 45°, 90° and large-radius 90° configurations.

Goes Where Steel Won’t

Schedule 80 PVC is built to shrug off the conditions that give other types of conduit trouble. It’s non-corrosive and non-conductive, so moisture, chemicals and weather don’t wear it down. That durability pays off in the demanding spots where it tends to get used, from wet and corrosive areas to outdoor and underground runs. When a job gets rough on conduit, PVC steps up to do its job.

Key Features:

  • Non-Corrosive and Non-Conductive: Won’t rust or carry current, a real advantage in harsh environments.
  • Proven Durability: Holds up in demanding applications where conduit takes a beating.
  • ETL Listed: Tested and listed by Intertek to the applicable safety standard.
  • NEMA TC 2: Built to the NEMA standard for rigid PVC conduit.
  • Buy America Compliant: Meets Buy American, Buy America and Build America Buy America (BABA) requirements.
  • Available Diameters: Trade sizes from ½” to 8″.
