Electrical Metallic Tubing (EMT) unthreaded steel conduit features hot-galvanized construction to resist corrosion. It also offers easy bending, cutting, and joining during installation.

Is all EMT galvanized?

Electrical Metallic Tubing—EMT Another example of a rigid electrical conduit is EMT (electrical metal tubing), which is most commonly made of galvanized steel but can also be aluminum. EMT is also called “thin-wall” conduit because it is thin and lightweight, especially compared to RMC.

What metal is EMT conduit made of?

Electrical metallic tubing (EMT) is made from coated steel or aluminum and is a more economical and thinner-walled option than other conduit. This conduit type doesn’t offer the same protection as rigid metal conduit but is lighter and can be paired with conduit fittings, eliminating the need for threading.
