You can bend conduit with an inexpensive tool. Conduit is much
lighter and cheaper than pipe.
I've never seen rigid bent, only light & intermediate. Rigid is heavy &
threaded. It uses preformed sweeps & boxes to make turns. AFAIK

Only if you dont have a pipe bender for rigid. I have several
differnet types of hand benders for rigid.
Rigid is fun to bend. You definately need more thean a three foot
handle on the bender. Have you ever used rigid aluminum conduit?
Ive heard of aluminum conduit..but give its properties...Id stay way
way away from it.
I did help install a hydrogen furnace (50 feet long) using stainless
steel 1" pipe some years ago though. Some really odd pipe dope in
that project.
They used it in a juice processing plant near here, along with a lot
of stainless pipes for the juice. I ended up with some leftover 3/4"
aluminum conduit that had surface damage.
