4 inch rigid conduit
One problem of using rigid conduit in a residency when it is not needed is that project will very quickly over run the budget of the project. Labour will be at least 5 times more expensive to install rigid over NMD90 cable.Another problem will be the tight bends required in home wiring as compared to the radius bends that rigid conduit requires.

Conduits shall be supported at intervals not exceeding 3000mm.
The metal which does not undergo any kind of deformation under the action of external forces on it is a rigid metal. It will not change in size, shape and position in response to external actions.
The 2008 NEC code states that conduit must be strapped within 36" or 3 feet from every box or connector, then every 5 feet is acceptable from there.
Welding is not allowed by the NEC (United States' code).
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.

In electrical terms it represents Rigid Steel Conduit. It is also known as Rigid Metal Conduit (RMC).This is not to be confused with Electrical Metallic Tubing (EMT) also known in the trade as thin wall conduit.

A 770 Greenlee hydraulic pipe bender bend is used for rigid steel conduit from 2" to 4".
depends on size....

There are many types of conduit used for the containment of electrical wires. PVC is a non-metallic option. If you need something that provides mechanical protection, EMT is a steel conduit with a thin wall. Need even more mechanical protection, you can use rigid conduit. It comes in steel or aluminum, and must be threaded together.
