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
There has to be a pull box between every four quarter bends in a conduit run.
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.
Code states no more that 4 - 90 degree bends in a conduit run between pull boxes.
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.
On rear of injector pump, there is a bolt with a locknut. Loosen the locknut, hold locknut in place and adjust bolt in/out to achieve desired idle. Tighten locknut. Done.
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.
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.
There are no voltage regulations. A rigid conduit system used two locknuts and one bushing at every connection to a junction box unless the box has a hub. One outside the box and the other locknut inside the box. These are tightened against each other to make the connection secure and to scratch the paint on the outside of the box to make continuity of the metallic system. Continuity of the system is a must as this is the return path for any short circuit that might occur. Rigid connections to fittings require no locknuts as the conduit's threaded end screws into the fitting.
No. The new electrical code change does not allow any flexible conduit to be used as a ground means. It is now required to have a green ground wire pulled into the conduit with the other conductors in the flexible conduit. This grounded bonding conductor is not counted as wire fill when calculating the size of the flexible conduit to use
is it permitted to use flexible metal conduit over 6 ft in length as a grounding means

PVC conduit is better then metal as it won't corrod under ground and theres less of a chance of electrical shortages.
The conduit helped the criminal escape from the jail cell quickly and quietly.
For underground conduit runs, PVC is by far the better of the two conduit systems.
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.
A conduit bushing is typically used to protect electrical wiring from damage as it passes through a metal enclosure or conduit fitting. It helps prevent the sharp edges of the conduit from damaging the insulation of the wires and provides a smooth surface for the wires to pass through, reducing the risk of abrasion or short circuits.
