Electrical Metallic Tubing (EMT), also known as thin-wall tubing, is a type of conduit used for electrical wiring protection. It is commonly made of galvanized steel or aluminum and is lightweight, durable, and easy to install. EMT is designed to protect electrical wires from physical damage, moisture, and other environmental factors. It is often used in commercial and industrial applications where electrical wiring needs to be run through exposed areas or in areas where protection is required by electrical codes. EMT is available in various sizes and can be bent and shaped to fit the specific requirements of an installation. It is typically installed using fittings and connectors to create a continuous pathway for electrical wires while maintaining electrical safety standards..
EMT is often used as a lower cost solution to galvanized rigid conduit (GRC). EMT is not threaded but can be used with threaded fittings via the use of clamps. EMT is typically made of steel.
