3″ Rigid Conduit Price Calculator

Length (in feet): Price per foot ($): Calculate Price

Here’s a table summarizing key information about 3″ rigid conduit pricing and specifications:

Aspect	Details
Material Options	Steel (galvanized), Aluminum, PVC
Average Cost (per 10-foot section)	Steel: $150-$200 Aluminum: $100-$150 PVC: $30-$50
Installation Cost (per linear foot)	$9-$15 (including labor and materials)
Typical Uses	Heavy industrial applications, outdoor installations, areas requiring high physical protection
Advantages	Extremely durable, high crush resistance, suitable for hazardous locations
Disadvantages	Heavy, difficult to install, more expensive than smaller sizes
Standard Length	10-foot sections
Threading	Factory-threaded ends for easy coupling
Fittings Required	Couplings, connectors, bushings (sold separately)
Code Compliance	Meets NEC requirements for most applications

Additional Considerations

Installation Factors:

• Requires specialized tools for cutting and threading
• May need additional support due to weight
• Often requires professional installation

Cost Variations:

• Prices can fluctuate based on market conditions and metal prices
• Bulk purchases may qualify for discounts
• Regional differences in pricing and availability

Alternatives:

• EMT (Electrical Metallic Tubing) is a lighter, less expensive option for some applications
• Intermediate Metal Conduit (IMC) offers a middle ground between RMC and EMT

When budgeting for a 3″ rigid conduit project, factor in the cost of fittings, support hardware, and specialized installation labor to get a complete picture of the total expense.
