Southwire/coleman Cable 55081802 Reduced Wall Steel Conduit

Product Description

The SOUTHWIRE/COLEMAN CABLE 55081802 is a reduced wall steel conduit sold in a 100-foot coil at 0.5 inches trade size. Reduced wall steel conduit (RSC-lite profile) provides a lighter-weight metallic raceway compared to full rigid steel, while still offering mechanical protection for conductors in standard commercial and residential wiring applications. At 23.55 pounds per coil, the 55081802 is suited for electricians who need a manageable pull of metallic conduit without the added mass of full-wall rigid. It is installed using standard conduit fittings rated for reduced wall steel construction.

This conduit is used in electrical rough-in work where a metallic raceway is required and reduced wall specifications are acceptable under the applicable installation standard. Typical applications include branch circuit wiring in light commercial buildings, residential service work, and retrofit projects where coiled conduit simplifies transport and staging on the job site. The coil format reduces handling compared to straight stick conduit and works well in open-bay installations.

Key Features

• Reduced wall steel construction provides metallic protection at lower weight than full rigid conduit
• 0.5 inch trade size accommodates standard small-conductor branch circuit wiring
• 100-foot coil format minimizes handling and simplifies job site staging
• Steel material offers mechanical protection and grounding continuity when properly fitted
• Single coil per package unit for straightforward inventory and ordering

Compatibility

Designed for use with fittings and connectors rated for reduced wall steel conduit in 0.5 inch trade size. Verify fitting compatibility with reduced wall wall thickness before installation.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed electrician in accordance with the National Electrical Code (NEC) and applicable local codes. De-energize all circuits in the work area before pulling conductors. Use conduit benders and cutting tools rated for steel conduit; deburr all cut ends before pulling wire to prevent insulation damage. Confirm that all fittings, connectors, and boxes are listed and rated for use with reduced wall steel conduit.
