Usually in the industry, we call it metal conduits. Metallic conduit is stronger, more durable, and more fire-resistant than non-metallic conduit. It is often used in industrial, commercial, and hazardous environments. Which included,
-
Rigid Metal Conduit(RMC)
-
Electrical Metallic Tubing (EMT)
-
Intermediate Metal Conduit (IMC)
-
Galvanized Rigid Conduit (GRC)
-
Flexible Metal Conduit (FMC)
-
Liquid-tight Flexible Metal Conduit (LFMC)
