Conduit fitting is used on metal pipes that house electrical wires. These fittings are not only to connect the various pieces together, but to keep a relatively water tight seal to the wires.

No, the conduit has to be supported individually from a supportive structure. The spacing of the strapping is related to the size of the conduit.
Steel conduit weighs more, provides more protection, and costs more than plastic conduit. Plastic conduit weighs less, is easier to work with, and costs less than steel conduit.
The six methods of fixing conduit include: Conduit Hangers - These are brackets or clamps that attach the conduit to walls or ceilings. Straps - These are metal or plastic bands used to secure the conduit at specific intervals. Support Brackets - These provide additional support for heavier conduit runs, ensuring stability. Wall and Ceiling Clips - These are used to fasten the conduit directly to walls or ceilings. Junction Box Mounts - These attach conduit to junction boxes for secure connections. Conduit Fasteners - These include screws, anchors, or other hardware used to hold the conduit in place. These methods ensure that the conduit is securely installed and compliant with electrical codes.
A conduit connecter is a connecting piece used to connect two individual conduit units together. Conduit connecters can refer to both electrical conduits and pipe/plumbing related conduits.
Conduit bodies are used to provide pulling access in a run of conduit, to conserve space where a full size bend radius would be impractical, to allow more bends to be made in a section of conduit or to split a conduit path into multiple directions.
