What is EMT Conduit?
EMT conduit, or Electrical Metallic Tubing, is a type of thin-walled steel conduit used extensively for electrical installations. It offers a balance between protection and flexibility, making it a popular choice for indoor applications where physical damage is unlikely but wire protection is still essential.
Commonly found in commercial buildings, garages, and unfinished basements, EMT conduit is easier to bend and cut than rigid metal conduit (RMC), allowing electricians to route wiring efficiently through walls and ceilings. It is usually secured with set-screw or compression-type fittings and can also be grounded, enhancing safety in electrical systems.
