Can any one tell me what the difference between rigid conduit and iron

Hey CP,

Never given it much thought, but to me "rigid" is always galvanized,
while "pipe" is black unless specified. In most cases for electrical
use, aluminum can be substituted for "rigid", but the cost needs to be
offset in some way.

Hope you get some better answers.

Take care.
