ALUMINUM PRODUCTS
American Manufacturing
There was a time when America was synonymous with manufacturing, with
production, with innovation. Hardworking, earnest people made good quality
products, had good paying jobs, and our businesses flourished.
Then suddenly, the Industrial Revolution that helped shape our Nation packed
up and went into early retirement. Unemployment went up, quality went
down, GDP growth slowed, and an entire segment of our economy effectively
hit the “pause” button.
Well, today is a new day.
A growing number of American companies are starting to bring production
back to our shores…and Patriot is proud to be counted among that group. We
are very proud to be an American Manufacturer, and we are very proud to
support the Veterans in our workforce.
Our Rigid Aluminum Conduit is 100% American Made ~ the shells, the
couplings, the caps, and even our labels all come from American companies.
Our shells come from extrusion dies we own, are completely produced in
America, and are processed on our high speed equipment. Patriot is still the
only American Owned and Operated Family Business producing the full line of
Rigid Aluminum Conduit, Nipples, Elbows, and Couplings.
While most of our orders ship next day from Virginia, we also maintain local
inventories of our products in Boston, Chicago, Louisville, Houston, New Jersey,
New Orleans, Norcross, Phoenix, and Tampa.
There is a new Industrial Revolution starting in America,
thank you for joining us in it.
All the best,

Typical Installation Practices
Cutting ~ A hacksaw may be used to cut trade sizes ½” thru 1 ¼”. Power cut-off tools are recommended for
larger sizes.
Bending ~ Standard EMT Benders (one size larger than the size being bent) may be used for trade sizes ½” thru
1”. Conventional Bending equipment is recommended for larger sizes.
Threading ~ Sharp dies and conventional cutting oil are recommended. Contact Customer Service for a list of
recommended “Aluminum-Specific” Cutting lubricants.
Fittings ~ Aluminum fittings are recommended, however galvanized fittings may be used for most installations.
Fishing & Wire Pulling ~ For trade sizes ½” thru 1 ½”, and on runs <100 feet, polyethylene fish tapes or
speedometer type steel cables may be used. Avoid the use of flat steel tapes. For trade sizes 2” and above,
and on runs >100 feet, polypropylene rope is recommended.
Soil or Concrete Installation ~ UL’s Electrical Construction Equipment Directory (UL Green Book) states that
supplementary corrosion protection is required for aluminum conduit used in concrete or in contact with soil.
Supplementary protection examples include paints (bitumastic) or wraps approved for the purpose, or PVC
coated aluminum conduit.
