What is Conduit?

A conduit is a protective tube or channel used to route and safeguard electrical wires and cables. It helps prevent damage from moisture, heat, dust, chemicals, and physical impact. Conduits are commonly installed in walls, ceilings, floors, and underground to keep wiring organized and secure. They are made from materials such as PVC, metal, or flexible plastic, depending on the installation requirements.

Conduits protect the users from electrical shocks by covering the electrical wiring. The live wires cannot come in contact with users or with other live wires, which can cause fire hazards. Conduits are durable coverings that help to upgrade and inspect the electrical systems easily. Most commonly, they are essential for commercial and industrial spaces where heavy transmission lines are used.
