Smartube is a range of hot-dip galvanized steel conduits designed for electrical wiring protection in commercial, industrial, and MEP installations. The range includes Electrical Metallic Tubing (EMT) and Intermediate Metal Conduit (IMC), providing contractors with steel conduit options for different project requirements.

Smartube is a member of the Southern Steel Group in Malaysia and was established as a Malaysia–Japan joint venture in 1967. OTAK has been the sole authorized distributor of Smartube in Egypt for 20 years, supplying its products across the country.

Smartube Conduit Product Range

Smartube offers galvanized steel conduit systems used to route and protect electrical wiring. The main products supplied by OTAK include:

• Electrical Metallic Tubing (EMT)
• Intermediate Metal Conduit (IMC)
• Heavy Gauge Threaded Conduit (BS31 & BS4568)

The product selection allows contractors to specify the conduit type according to the required level of mechanical protection, installation conditions, and project standards.

Smartube EMT Conduit

Smartube EMT, or Electrical Metallic Tubing, is a lightweight steel conduit option for electrical wiring installations where a metallic raceway is required.

EMT provides a practical steel pathway for electrical wiring while maintaining a relatively lightweight construction that supports efficient installation.

Smartube EMT can be used in applications such as:

• Commercial electrical installations
• Building services and MEP works
• Lighting systems
• Electrical wiring and cable routing
• General electrical installations

The required conduit size and installation method should be determined according to the project drawings, specifications, and applicable electrical standards.

Smartube IMC Conduit

Smartube IMC, or Intermediate Metal Conduit, provides a heavier steel conduit construction for applications where greater mechanical protection is required.

IMC provides greater mechanical protection than EMT, making it suitable for industrial and commercial applications where the electrical installation is exposed to higher physical demands.

Typical applications include:

• Industrial electrical installations
• Commercial buildings
• MEP infrastructure
• Electrical distribution systems
• Cable routing in areas requiring increased mechanical protection

The selected IMC size and installation requirements should always follow the project’s electrical design and specified standard.

Smartube In-Line Hot-Dip Galvanized Conduit

Smartube utilizes an in-line hot-dip galvanizing process to produce galvanized conduits with a consistent, high-quality finish. The conduits are designed for easy bending while maintaining a smooth internal surface for efficient wire pulling.

Key features include:

• Easy Wire Pulling: The internal slip coat creates a smooth surface that reduces friction during cable installation, making wire pulling easier while helping protect cables from damage.
• Coloured Finishes: Smartube offers coloured conduit finishes that can provide practical benefits for projects where identification and finishing requirements are important:
• • Reduced installation time
  • High-quality finish
  • Potential cost savings by minimizing additional finishing work

Smartube Standards and Selection

Smartube offers UL-listed EMT and IMC conduits, as well as BS-standard galvanized steel conduits and coloured finishes. The appropriate Smartube product should be selected according to the standard specified for the project and the required conduit type.

Before ordering, MEP contractors should confirm:

• Required conduit type: Determine whether the installation requires EMT, IMC, or another galvanized steel conduit.
• Applicable project standard: Confirm the standard specified in the drawings, BOQ, or project requirements.
• Required conduit size: Match the conduit size to the cable arrangement and installation design.
• Installation environment: Review the expected mechanical and environmental conditions of the installation.
• Required fittings and accessories: Make sure the required couplings, connectors, elbows, clamps, and other fittings are compatible with the selected conduit.
• Order Requirements: Check quantities, finish requirements, and delivery requirements before ordering.

This helps ensure that the selected conduit matches the electrical design and project specifications.

Smartube Conduit Fittings and Accessories

A conduit system depends on more than the straight conduit sections. Connections, changes in direction, supports, and termination points also require compatible accessories.

OTAK supplies UL-listed conduit fittings and accessories from leading manufacturers, including EATON Cooper Crouse-Hinds, ALEX, and PST, compatible with conduit systems such as Smartube. The range includes couplings and connectors, elbows, clamps and hangers, boxes, and other conduit accessories.

For contractors, sourcing conduit and compatible fittings through a single supplier can simplify material coordination and help maintain consistency across the installation.
