All my electrical lines are EMT conduits in the attic. There is a perfect
spot in my bathroom I would like to install an exhaust fan but the 1/2"
conduit is in the way. It is 4" above the ceiling board and I need 8" of
clearance to fit that fan. I have considered all other spots and this is
the only logical spot for a variety of reasons.

Is there a way I can reroute this conduit "locally"?

What I mean is I have no idea where it goes and where it is coming from,
it is in a tight spot in the attic and I can see as far as I can see with
a flash light and not sure where this conduit is going each way.

Can I cut the pipe where I would want the exhaust fan, and put in four 90
degree elbows to "offset" the pipe around the fan? If so, how would I do
that?

I cannot think of a way to do this without having to insert two junction
boxes at the two cut ends. Is that the only way?

Thanks,

MC

That's the way. Cut the conduit in the area where the fan is going, then two
more times, at the locations where the junction boxes will go. If there is
no requirement to use conduit, you can bridge the boxes with greenfield.
