The document outlines the different types of electrical conduits, which are tube-like structures used to protect and route electrical wiring. It categorizes conduits into metallic (e.g., EMT, RSC, IMC, RMC, FMC) and non-metallic types (e.g., PVC and flexible hose), detailing their materials and usages. Each conduit type serves specific purposes, such as providing protection from damage and environmental conditions.

2. OBJECTIVE
By the end of the lesson, you will be
able to identify the different types of
conduits and their purposes.

3. WHAT IS CONDUIT?
Electrical conduit is a tube-like structure that
protects and houses electrical wiring in
buildings and other structures. It can be rigid or
flexible, and is made from a variety of materials,
including metal, plastic, and fired clay.

4. WHAT IS CONDUIT USED
FOR?
• Protecting wires from damage
• Reducing interference
• Cleaning up the area

5. TYPES OF CONDUITS
Metallic Conduit
• EMT – Electrical Metallic Tubing
• RSC – Rigid Steel Conduit
• IMC – Intermediate Metal Conduit
• RMC – Rigid Metal Conduit
• FMC – Flexible Metal Conduit
Non- Metallic Conduit
• PVC - Polyvinyl Chloride
• Moldflex / Flexible Hose

6. ELECTRICAL METALLIC TUBING (EMT)
• Electrical metallic
tubing (EMT) is a type
of conduit that protects
and routes electrical
wiring in buildings. It's
a thin-walled,
unthreaded, circular
raceway that's typically
made from galvanized
steel or aluminum.

7. RIGID STEEL CONDUIT (RSC)
• Rigid steel conduit (RSC)
is a type of electrical
conduit that protects and
routes cables and wires in
commercial and industrial
buildings. It's often used in
applications where the
conduit will be exposed to
heavy physical abuse or
where high levels of
protection are required.

8. INTERMEDIATE METAL CONDUIT (IMC)
• Intermediate Metal Conduit
(IMC) is a type of steel
raceway used to protect
and route cables and
conductors. It can also be
used as an equipment
grounding conductor when
installed with the right
fittings and couplings.

9. RIGID METAL CONDUIT (RMC)
• Rigid Metal Conduit (RMC) is a
thick-walled, threaded tubing
that protects and routes
electrical cables and
conductors. RMC is used in
many types of structures,
including commercial and
industrial buildings. It's
important because it protects
electrical wires from damage
caused by accidents or
environmental conditions like
moisture, extreme heat, or cold.

10. FLEXIBLE METAL CONDUIT (FMC)
• Flexible Metal Conduit
(FMC) is a type of conduit
that protects electrical
wiring in buildings. It's
made from a spiral of
interlocking metal strips,
usually galvanized steel or
aluminum. It has a spiral
construction that enables it
to snake through walls and
other structures.

11. PVC (POLYVINYL CHLORIDE)
• Polyvinyl chloride (PVC)
conduit is a type of conduit
made from a synthetic
polymer that is commonly
used in electrical
installations. It is used to
protect power,
telecommunications, and
other types of cabling and
conductors.

12. MOLDFLEX / FLEXIBLE HOSE
A flexible hose is a type of hose
that is made from a material
that is flexible, durable, and
able to bend or twist without
breaking. The most common
material used to make flexible
hoses is a type of plastic,
specifically, PVC (Polyvinyl
Chloride) or TPE (Thermoplastic
Elastomer).
