Product Overview
Rigid Metal Conduit (RMC) is a heavy-duty, threaded conduit designed to provide the utmost protection for electrical wiring. Manufactured from high-quality galvanised steel, RMC is highly resistant to physical damage, corrosion, and environmental wear. It is ideal for applications requiring exceptional durability and safety.
RMC Product Features:
Material
- – Made from hot-dip galvanised steel for superior corrosion resistance, both inside and out.
Threading
- – RMC is threaded at both ends to ensure secure and easy installation. UL-approved couplings on one end and the other end protected with colour-coded plastic thread protection caps
Strength and Durability
- – Known for its thick walls, RMC provides maximum mechanical protection for electrical wiring and withstands severe physical impact.
Weather Resistance
- – Designed for indoor and outdoor use, RMC is ideal for installations exposed to the elements, including harsh weather conditions and corrosive environments.
Conformance
- – RMC complies with ANSI C80.1 (UL 6) standards, ensuring safety, reliability, and compatibility with electrical installations across a variety of settings.
Certifications & Compliance
- – ANSI C80.1 (UL 6) for Rigid Metal Conduit

Applications of RMC (Rigid Metal Conduit)
- – RMC is ideal for industrial environments such as oil refineries, steel mills, and chemical plants where extreme physical protection is necessary due to the harsh operational conditions.
- – With excellent weather resistance, RMC is widely used in outdoor applications such as parking lots, street lighting, and exterior building installations.
- – Essential in large public projects like airports, bridges, highways, and transportation systems, where reliability and safety are critical.
- – Perfect for environments prone to corrosion or chemical exposure, such as wastewater treatment facilities, food processing plants, and chemical production areas.
- – Used in power plants, solar farms, and wind farms to protect vital electrical systems from physical damage and environmental degradation.
- – RMC is used in government installations, defence projects, hospitals, and research centres where secure and reliable electrical systems are crucial for operations.
