{{no sources|date=July 2016}} [[File:Sockets.jpg|thumb|right|These [[Electrical outlet|outlets]] are wired with conduit]] '''Conduit''' is a tube that [[Electricity|electrical]] wires are run through. Conduit protects the [[wire]] from damage. The most common type of conduit is called electrical metallic tubing (EMT). Conduit is common in commercial and industrial installations, and in garages and unfinished basements in homes. General wiring in homes is usually done with NM cable (commonly referred to by the [[Trademark|trade name]] Romex), not conduit. Conduit is usually made of [[metal]], but it can also be made of [[plastic]]. {{tech-stub}} [[Category:Electrical wiring]]
