Full Electrical System Protection
Manufactured from mild steel, Allied’s Rigid Conduit is highly 
resistant to damage from impact yet ductile to facilitate bending.
The 3/4” taper NPT threads (ANSI B1.20.1) are full cut and hot 
galvanized after cutting. Color-coded end cap thread protectors 
keep the threads clean, sharp and also provide instant trade size 
recognition. Even sizes are color-coded blue, 1/2 sizes black, and 
1/4 sizes red.
Coatings
Hot-dip galvanized inside and out to provide galvanic corrosion 
protection. Also topcoated with a compatible organic layer to 
protect against white rust. The inside surface is evenly coated for 
wire-pulling ease, even through multiple 90° bends.
EMI Shielding
Allied Rigid Steel Conduit is very effective in reducing the effects 
of electromagnetic field levels for encased power distribution 
circuits, shielding computers and other sensitive electronic 
equipment from the effects of electromagnetic interference.
