What is RSC conduit?
Electroline Rigid Steel Conduit (RSC) is zinc coated both inside and outside with hot dip galvanizing in such a way that metal-to-metal contact and galvanic protection against corrosion are provided.
What does RSC mean in electrical?
Rigid Steel Conduit
Rigid Steel Conduit (RSC) is covered by Article 344 of NEC and a threadable raceway of circular cross section designed for the physical protection and routing of conductors and cables and for use as an equipment grounding conductor when installed with its integral or associated coupling and appropriate fittings.
What is an RSC or EMT pipe?
Electrical Metallic Tubing—EMT EMT is also called “thin-wall” conduit because it is thin and lightweight, especially compared to RMC. EMT is rigid but can be bent with a simple tool called a conduit bender. EMT is installed with couplings and fittings that are secured with setscrew or compression-type fasteners.
What is conduit used for?
An electrical conduit is a tube in which electrical wires are housed for a variety of building or structural applications. Conduit protects wires as well as any individuals who may come into close proximity to the wires.

What are 3 types of conduit?
Electrical Conduit Types
- Rigid Metal Conduit (RMC)
- Electrical Metallic Tubing (EMT)
- Intermediate Metal Conduit (IMC)
- Flexible Metal Conduit (FMC)
Why is conduit important?
Electrical conduit provides very good protection to enclosed conductors from impact, moisture, and chemical vapors. Varying numbers, sizes, and types of conductors can be pulled into a conduit, which simplifies design and construction compared to multiple runs of cables or the expense of customized composite cable.
