Conduit

Also known as electrical metallic tubing (EMT), this conduit has thin walls that easily bend with a conduit bender (not included) and can be cut with a hacksaw. Run it along walls and ceilings, away from high-traffic areas.

5-ft. lengths can be shipped via small-parcel carrier.

Straight Adapters—Zinc

Compression

Screw-Clamp

Use these adapters to attach thin-wall (EMT) steel conduit to a knockout in an outlet box or enclosure. A compression end offers a more reliable hold on conduit than a screw-clamp end. It pushes onto the conduit; tighten the compression ring to secure. The screw-clamp end tightens around conduit with a screw.

Adapters with grommet protect wire and cable from abrasion when being pulled.
