Conduit? Not so much. It's pretty brittle metal - akin to white metal
actually.

That is nuts. EMT, electrical metallic tubing, is steel. It is far
from brittle, you can bend it any way you want. What is properly
called conduit is plain old pipe, the kind that carries water and gas.


Sorry dude - EMT is thin walled flat cold rolled low grade
non-hardened steel.

It's basically white metal.



It is still far from brittle. I use a lot of EMT for various things
but it sucks around salt water. the real issue here.


The nearest salt water to me is 350 miles away at the Great Salt Lake, or
Los Angeles. Rust and corrosion are NO issue here. Maybe where you're at,
but not here.
