Steel conduit is resistant to wear and tear and will not burn or release toxic fumes, which reduces human health impact. This material also serves as its own effective
ground-fault current path, without an additional wire type equipment grounding conductor, and it is durable enough to withstand most physical damage including fires and
flooding. Using steel ensures a long product lifetime, with fewer materials and health hazards than any other conduit or tubing material types.

Steel conduit is the most recycled material in the world, with 60–80 million tons of steel scrap recycled each year. A permanently recyclable material never needs to enter the
landfill and can be used indefinitely, resulting in fewer virgin materials and extraction emissions.

American steel conduit and tubing production is the cleanest among the top seven steel-producing countries in the world. That is thanks to increased use of electric arc
furnaces, higher-quality iron ore pellets and the use of alternatives to pig iron, which reduces carbon emissions.

Corrosion protection prevents potential damage to conductors and the steel itself throughout the conduit or tubing’s lifespan and alerts the user when it might be
compromised. This allows the user to repair and / or replace the part as needed before bigger issues arise supporting dematerialization practices.

Typically, the entire raceway would have to be removed to replace a single conductor. But with steel conduit and tubing, repairs can be made without disrupting other
conductors and the entire raceway. This saves time, money, energy and materials.

As building needs change, steel conduit and tubing do not have to be updated to meet different standards. By installing steel conduit and tubing from the beginning,
you are “future-proofing” the building for all potential needs, eliminating full tear-outs and supporting dematerialization practices.
