When do you use a conduit lock-nut?
Standard Conduit Locknuts are used to secure threaded conduits or connectors with tapered or straight thread to a knock out or unthreaded slip hole. Sizes range from 1/4 inch up to 4 inches.
Do electrical wire cables have to be clamped with cable connectors when they enter electrical panel box?
For cable not in conduit and intended to be installed without conduit, such as NM cable, yes. You must provide some form of connector that will hold the cable in place. A clamp is not the only kind of connector that will do this but is the most common.
Are ground wires required in steel or aluminum flex conduits?
Yes, any flexible conduit that has live wires drawn into it must have a ground wire also installed with the "hot" conductors. The reasoning behind this rule is that the flex in the conduit is coiled and has a long length to it. The continuation of the grounding medium through the tightness of the conduit connectors to the flex was not considered a properly secured grounding system so to overcome this weakness in the grounding system, a ground wire now has to be installed.
Is it legal to support a conduit from another conduit of the same size?
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.
Where can one purchase conduit connectors?
Conduit connectors can be purchased at any store that carries hardware and electrical equipment. For instance, many electronics stores will carry these connectors, but hardware stores like Home Depot are better bets.

To rewire a 2 bedroom property that was built in 1956 Can we use the old conduit or Do we need to replace it Currently earth is attached to the conduit itself Any special cables we can use?
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.
Some conduit fittings listed for use with cable wiring methods as well?
Some conduit fittings listed for use with cable wiring methods include connectors, couplings, elbows, and conduit bodies. These fittings are designed to provide a secure and reliable connection between the conduit and the cables, ensuring proper protection and organization of the wiring system.
