What kind of outdoor conduit is used for wires and cables?

Outdoor Conduit

There are several kinds of conduit used for outdoor wires and cables. A rigid steel conduit has a durable and protective material. Another kind of conduit is aluminum, which is able to be buried in a concrete slab, provided it has been treated with a non-corrosive sealant. For use of an outdoor conduit aboveground, PVC is an affordable option. In order to prevent cracking from direct sunlight, the PVC conduit should also be painted with a protective seal. An industrial-strength conduit bender can be used with PVC, making rapid and accurate bends for necessary curves around objects.
