Conduits are used to protect and direct electrical wiring in a building. They can be made of metal, plastic, PVC, fiber, or fired clay. Conduits are usually rigid, but they can be flexible as well. The use of conduits and what type of conduit can be used is often regulated by local building codes and the US National Electrical Code.
Conduits provide protection from impacts, chemical vapors, and moisture. The installation of conduits should only be done by a licensed electrician to ensure all safety standards and building codes are followed. Changing wiring is made much easier through conduits because a contractor can remove and install new conductors with little to no disruption. Some conduits, such as for some retail applications, are even approved for direct cement encasement.
