Was just thinking, EMT is so much lighter, so why nor use Pipe to EMT

Has anyone tried it?


My guess is it would be too flexible because it's so thin.
It seems to be getting thinner and thinner, too.
Anyone see how thin copper pipe is these days?
You can practically put your fingernail through it.

Yeah, the so-called water grade is pure crap. Even looking at a roll
of it will cause dents and the tubing to get out of round. Shudder my
first memories of picking some up at the local box store instead of my
normal supply house and getting that by mistake.

EMT seems about the same, I suppose because steel is a lot less
expensive. I think I'll try a short piece first because of the sliding
locking clamp and see what happens when it grips the EMT and if it
will cave it in or dent it.
