A conduit pipe is a protective tube used to encase electrical wires and cables, ensuring their safety and integrity. Typically made from materials like PVC, metal, or fiberglass, conduit pipes shield against physical damage, moisture, and chemical exposure. They come in various sizes and types, such as rigid, flexible, and EMT (Electrical Metallic Tubing), each suited for different applications. Installation can occur above or below ground, depending on environmental conditions and project requirements. Conduit systems not only organize wiring but also facilitate future upgrades by allowing easy access. Compliance with local electrical codes is essential when selecting and installing conduit pipes, ensuring both safety and functionality in electrical systems.
