Default Has anyone tried using EMT with pipe clamps?

I doubt the gripping rings on the tail end of the pipe clamps will grip the EMT. The gripping rings are chromed steel. The EMT is chromed or some kind of gray plating. Its slick. I don't think the rings will grip the slick EMT pipe. So no clamping force. I don't think it will grip enough to even dent the thinwall EMT. It'll just slip.

EMT is NOT chromed, it is electro-zinc plated.


OK. But my point is still valid. I don't think the grip rings will work on the electro zinc plated coating. Too slippery.
