THE EFFECTIVENESS OF STAINLESS STEEL

It takes an average of four years to design and build a modern industrial plant or facility and the day it is finished, a forty-year fight begins to maintain it and upgrade it to ever more stringent standards. Is your electrical conduit up to the challenge?

Stainless steel, of ALL UL approved corrosion-resistant metallic conduit materials (including aluminum, galvanized steel, & PVC-coated), is the safest and most economical conduit material for year after year dependability. Stainless Steel conduit is the proven anti-corrosion leader where corrosive products are processed and where maintenance or washdown procedures require damaging heat or harsh chemicals.

Often the projected life of the stainless steel conduit and fittings installed in a new facility equal that of the facility itself!

The clear choice is to specify stainless steel electrical conduit and conduit fittings in all food processing environments, water and waste water facilities, petrochemical and refining facilities, pulp and paper production, mining, and nywhere that corrosive washdown situations call for superior strength, resistance, durability, or cleanability.

Maintaining and upgrading corrosion-free and contaminate-free production standards are increasingly stringent and costly. Stainless steel conduit’s low maintenance costs not only eliminate most material replacement expense but also limit expensive facility downtime in meeting these standards.

• Install it once – job done!
• Simple installation
• No special tools required
• No post installation repairs
• Superior impact resistance
• Full NEC code compliance
• Reduces downtime for MRO
• Full grounding continuity
• No wash down degradation
• No degradation from internal corrosion in your system
• Meets or exceeds all published HAACP and FDA standards through 2008

• Stainless steel conduit and fittings have up to FIVE TIMES the strength of aluminum and will last several times longer.
• Stainless steel holds up against the same wash-down procedures and products that all installed stainless steel processing equipment stands up to – and aluminum cannot.

STAINLESS STEEL VS PVC-COATED

• Stainless steel electrical conduit lasts two to four times longer than PVC-coated material.
• PVC's toxicity makes it unsuitable for use near many food and potable water processes. Considered
• Hazmat when disposed of.
  Up to 90% of all stainless steel material in a typical installation can be recycled - many times more than PVC-coated conduit.
