Electrical conduits (sometimes referred to as raceways or wireways) are tubes or pipes used to enclose, protect and route electrical wiring or cables as they passes around buildings or other structures.

Electrical conduit is generally made from either metal or plastic, and they may be rigid or flexible. Types of conduit are assigned classifications based on certain characteristics that are associated with how they are manufactured and what materials are used in the process. These distinctions can influence how the electrical conduit should be used, based on certain criteria such as cost, corrosion resistance, protection requirements and so on.
