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.

Whats it like to bend and how is the surface treated? Sounds like
White Fur country. That nasty white fur that grows on unanodized
aluminum as it eats its way in.....


The methodology of the left has always been:

1. Lie
2. Repeat the lie as many times as possible
3. Have as many people repeat the lie as often as possible
4. Eventually, the uninformed believe the lie
5. The lie will then be made into some form oflaw
6. Then everyone must conform to the lie
