Default Has anyone tried using EMT with pipe clamps?

Was just thinking, EMT is so much lighter, so why nor use Pipe to EMT
adapters and go for it?

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.

That just depends which grade you buy. L is still L, K is still K
and M is still M.
L is the "standard good" pipe, and M is the crappy cheap stuff that
no self respecting plumber would have used 40 years ago.

K is the heavy stuff.

Now FITTINGS, I will agree. Used to be K or L weight copper, now much
of it appears to be the thickness of M, if that.
