Default Has anyone tried using EMT with pipe clamps?

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



I'm sure this is obvious,,,,, what is EMT? Emergency Medical Team? ;~)


Electro-metallic tubing.


Is that like the electrical conduit? If so, certainly not stiff enough
to prevent the glued up from bowing.


Exactly. Both EMT (thin stuff) and conduit (thicker, can tolerate wet)
are bending-grade tubing. Black iron pipe is not. Black iron
is thrifty compared with structural steel, but not a lot weaker.
