Electrunite® Electrical Metallic Tubing
Simplify Installation, Save Time, Spend Less
Republic Conduit's Electrunite® Electrical Metallic Tubing (EMT) is the easiest electrical conduit to bend currently available in the marketplace. It is also the thinnest and lightest of all of our products. Republic's EMT is manufactured from high-quality, flat rolled steel and is produced using Republic Conduit's exclusive Electrogalvanizing process, which provides a protective surface coating of satin-smooth, corrosion-resistant zinc to the tube. A secondary treatment following the zinc coating extends the surface protection of Republic Conduit's EMT.
As the end product, the finished Republic EMT is uniform in outside diameter (OD), wall thickness, and ductility. Its structural strength ensures system integrity, as it doesn't sag or become brittle under extreme temperature, nor does it burn or decompose, producing harmful smoke or gases.
Large sizes of Republic's EMT offer an advantage for jobs where weight is a key factor in designing an electrical wiring system. Because of its thinner walls, large size EMT weighs approximately 40% less than Galvite® Electrical Rigid Metal Conduit-Steel (Galvite® ERMC-S). This, in turn, allows Republic Conduit's customers to save on shipping and overall installation costs. And because the walls of this product are thinner, there is approximately 22% more space on the inside of the conduit as compared to identically sized Galvite® ERMC-S.
Today, Republic Conduit also offers Color EMT, the most effective and safe way to quickly identify and trace fire and healthcare emergency circuits, data transmission and communications wiring, computer power circuits and other wiring in many other industrial and commercial applications.
- Consistent Quality – Republic Conduit's entire production process is solely focused on manufacturing quality products made to our customers' specifications. Because of its ductility and tight tolerances, our EMT promotes wrinkle-free bends, reduces kinking, and minimizes splitting from repeated bending and straightening.
- Cost-Effective Installations – Republic's EMT is a thin wall product with more inside wiring space, which means that less product is necessary to purchase.
— Easier wire pulling and pushing – diamond-shaped ID pattern* and protective, slick, inside coating (Silverslick®), reduce friction when pulling / pushing the wires. The Silverslick finish stays hard and smooth in various climate conditions, protecting your conduit and your investment.
— Accurate, time-efficient bending – Because ½", ¾", and 1" sizes of Republic Conduit's EMT are Inch-Marked® and Guide-Lined®, the product is easier to cut and bend properly right away**, further reducing waste.
— Lower life-cycle costs – steel conduit is impact and fire resistant, chemically compatible with concrete and resists cracking, flaking and damage from severe bending. Its physical and mechanical properties ensure that the pipe has an extended shelf life, great for usage and storage without
degradation in quality. Our conduit is also 100% recyclable.
- System Grounding and Electromagnetic Interference Shielding – Republic Conduit's EMT not only protects people from the harmful effects of faulty wiring, but also protects any nearby electric / electronic equipment from electromagnetic field damage.
- Trade sizes range from ½" to 4".
* Applies to ½", ¾", and 1" EMT sizes.
** When using an EMT bender.
To easily identify the right size pipe for the job, simply look at our EMT's color coded ends (½" sizes use black tape, ¾" sizes use red, and 1" sizes use blue).

Architects desiring to specify Republic Conduit EMT should include the following description:
Electrical conductors shall be enclosed in Electrunite EMT in accordance with the National Electrical Code (NEC). Electrical metallic tubing shall be mild steel, electrically-welded, galvanized, and produced to the following specifications:
- ANSI – American National Standard for Steel Electrical Metallic Tubing,
(EMT) ANSI, C80.3
- UL Standard for Electrical Metallic tubing – Steel, UL797, File # E7465
- National Electric Code, 2008 Article 358
- Federal Specification WW-C-563
The above Federal Specification may still be referenced, however the federal government has canceled it and has adopted the UL 797 and ANSI C80.3 standards.
