PVC is cheaper but is used differently. PVC is usually baried in ground and emt usually runs exposed. You can use PVC exposed if it is schedule 80 gray PVC electrical conduit. Schedule 40 is for under ground
It depends upon the construction of the building as to what type of electrical system is used. If the building is of a wood frame then ordinary home wiring system can be used. If the use of steel studs is involved then BX has to be used for the internal wiring. Where the cables come out of the walls to equipment, they have to be mechanically protected with conduit or flexible conduit. If the building is block or brick and the wiring system has to be installed on the surface, the system has to be conduit. If the installation is not engineered and no stipulation as to what type of conduit system has to be used, then go with EMT. EMT systems are labour and material wise cheaper than a threaded rigid system. To make the job look professional you need to hire someone that is good at bending EMT conduit. Ask to see other jobs that the contractor has done before letting out the contract.
There has to be a pull box between every four quarter bends in a conduit run.
Code states no more that 4 - 90 degree bends in a conduit run between pull boxes.
The NEC allows 26.
You should use conduit bends when you want to bend a pipe to any angle, either 90 or 30 degree angles. To achieve this, you need to master the maths formulas for bending conduit.
don't know sorry go find it yourself please..
If the existing conduit has not been intentionally or accidentally interrupted it is still an adequate ground. If you are in doubt about this or if a test proves that it is not grounded, new conductors including a new ground wire can be pulled inside the conduit. If the existing conduit is flexible conduit and it has "jake" type twist connectors, rewiring with a ground is advisable as those type of connectors do not maintain a good ground connection.
9 - Is this a test answer or do you just want to know for a project you're doing? Take a look at NEC chapter 9 - tables 4 and 5 (in the 2005 edition at least)

Remove the bolts on one end of the strap and the strap should pivot down from the hinged end. Use ample lubricant on both ends of the strap.
A conduit blender is a tool that is used to bend conduit piping. This allows electricians to bend conduit piping around corners so that they do not have to use connector joints.
A strap wrench Or an inside wrench
A conduit bushing is used when a conduit is terminated in a junction box or enclosure. Its purpose is to provide a smooth rounded surface so that when the wire is pulled into the conduit the insulation on the wire will not be damaged.
-_- Obviously, do not use the antistatic writs strap while attempting to change or touch something inside the CPU....... rather than having 35,000 volts run through your body, your choice.
Ha, this question is soooooo weird, but, when you installed the conduit, your files saved on the computer. You can't transfer them back, but you have them. Uninstall the conduit, and uninstall Note Pad. Then, re sync notepad without the conduit. You should be fine.
Conduit is not required for residential electrical IF THE WIRING IS BEHIND THE WALL. If it's exposed wiring, you'll need to use conduit.
