Advantages And Disadvantages of RMC Conduit

RMC conduit (rigid metal conduit)

advantage:

Strong structural support capability: RMC pipes are hard metal conduits that provide strong structural support, making them particularly important for electrical panels, cables, and other equipment.

Corrosion resistance: Although not specifically mentioned, RMC pipes, as a type of metal conduit, usually also have good corrosion resistance.

Outdoor use: RMC pipes are typically used outdoors to provide protection against damage to cables and wiring.

Disadvantages:

Installation complexity: RMC pipes are installed using threaded fittings, which may increase the complexity and cost of installation.

Length limitation: RMC tubes are typically sold in lengths of 10 to 20 feet, which may limit the demand for certain specific lengths.

Price factor: RMC tubes are considered one of the most expensive wire substitutes on the market, which may increase the total cost of the project.
