DEMAND BETTER.
DEMAND DOMESTIC.

Domestic steel pipe and conduit are manufactured to meet all regulatory requirements and our own exacting quality standards. Demand domestic and be assured that every stick and elbow is ready to work harder for your project, your crew and your company’s reputation.

Learn about Zekelman’s recent legal action to combat imports.

When your reputation is on the line,
trust domestic quality.

Too often poorly manufactured imported conduit underperforms on the job and needs to be tossed. Waste is expensive and frustrating for your crew. We know — we routinely test our own products against the imports. Demand conduit, EMT and EC&N from Wheatland Tube, Picoma and Western Tube and insist your strut be ZI-Strut. Be assured that every product is manufactured to the highest quality standards and Made in the USA.

Quality you can trust

MADE IN USA

  • Interior coating — provides exceptional push / pull performance
  • Superior end finish — no burrs, O.D. to exact trade size
  • Excellent corrosion protection — passes 240-hour humidity test
  • Smooth seam — no risk of damage to costly copper wiring

IMPORTED

Common issues may include:

  • High seam, sharp seam — push / pull drag, damage risk
  • Poor weld quality — seam may split when bending
  • Poor end finish — dangerous burr ends
  • Early corrosion — red rust and white rust, UL violations

Fabricate with ease

MADE IN USA

  • Easier to bend
  • Fully traceable steel
  • Reduces waste on the job
  • Consistent O.D. sizes
  • Manufactured to meet UL, CSA, NEC, ANSI and NFPA standards, and have for decades

IMPORTED

Common issues may include:

  • Can kink and ripple when bending
  • Unknown steel specs
  • Inconsistent quality inspection

Coatings that perform

MADE IN USA

  • Superior adhesion — no O.D. flaking during bending
  • No need to remove coating — no connection issues
  • Passes UL “Fault Current Test” — ensures unrestricted current flow
  • Safe and reliable installation every time

IMPORTED

Common issues include:

  • Flaking / blisters when bent
  • Extra thick coating can cause slippage when bending
  • NEC requires removal of nonconductive coatings for proper bonding / grounding
  • May pose a significant safety risk

Better threads

MADE IN USA

  • Exclusive blowout process smooths I.D. zinc coating
  • Ends heated and remetalized with zinc-based paint after threading
  • Threads are heat treated and zinc-based paint mechanically bonds to threads
  • Superior corrosion prevention
  • Never exposed to salt water

IMPORTED

Common issues may include:

  • Conventional spray paint coating
  • Threads may lack protective zinc coating
  • Frequently inadequate corrosion protection
  • Corrosion on threads makes coupling difficult
  • Risk of salt exposure in overseas shipping
