What is IMC pipe
IMC is lighter weight rigid-type steel electrical conduit.It is manufactured in accordance with Underwriters’ Laboratories safety standard 1242 and ANSI C80.6
The Intermediate Metal Conduit(IMC) raceway systemis an optimized system is an optimized system matching product to requirement. It was designed specifically to protect insulated electrical conductors and cables.Eliminating the need for a heavier wall product.IMC is lighter in weight and has a larger interior diamter than Galvanized Rigid Conduit(GRC).
IMC has been subjected to more entensive testing than any other cnduit product to validate its electrical and mechanical performance characteristics. It meets or exceeds the service requirements of mordern lectrical systems. And since it’s introduction, it has successfully installed in commercial and industrical applications involving millions of feet.
Why is better than GRC
IMC is lighter in weight than GRC
It is easy to handle,and can result in sizable economies in shipping and final installation.
IMC has larger interior diameter
Compared to the same GRC trade size.It’s larger and smooth interior makes wire pulling significantly easier.
IMC is made to more precise tolerance than GRC
Greater uniformity in electrical and mechanical is assured. It is completely interchangeable with Rigid conduit because its precision tolerances fall well within the wider tolerance range established for Rigid.
IMC is “rigid”than Rigid
In many applications.such as service masts.IMC provides better protection for wiring than GRC.
Application
IMC is recognized for the same uses as Rigid Conduit,including all hazardous locations.It can be installed above or below grade,in concrete or earth,and used in high voltage installation(over 600 volts). IMC may be used under all atmospherc conditions,in all occupancies,and under the same conditions as Rigid.
Feature
IMC is manufactured from high quality steel sheet,work hardened through the forming process to provide exceptional strength for its weight.
IMC is protected from corrosion by hot dip galvanizing process which combines galvanizing and other special protective coating steps with the mill process.In addition,a specially formulated,highly corrosion-resistant lubricating coating is applied to the interior surfaces.(Both interior and exterior coatings meet UL1242).This coating,together with IMC’s larger interior diameter in all trade size,greatly reduces wire pulling effort.
