They are not intended to be tutorials. # Pole Mount on Flush Surface - Floor flange - Nipple - Cap # Hanging Cable Use bridal rings either ordered online or from Kendall Electric or Graybar. # Running Conduit Steel conduit and electrical metallic tubing (EMT) refers to the steel-based durable enclosures that route individual electrical wiring conductors in a building or structure and protect the wires from impact, moisture, and chemical vapors. Conduit systems are classified by wall thickness, mechanical stiffness, and material used. Rigid metal conduit (RMC) is a thick-walled threaded tubing, usually made of coated steel, stainless steel, or aluminum. Galvanized rigid conduit (GRC) is galvanized steel tubing, with a tubing wall that is thick enough to allow it to be threaded. Intermediate metal conduit (IMC) is a thinner, lighter-weight version of RMC. Polyvinyl chloride (PVC)–coated steel conduit is used for highly corrosive environments. Related products include conduit and associated elbows, threaded couplings, and nipples. ^[[Steel Conduit & Electrical Metallic Tubing Section (nema.org)](https://www.nema.org/membership/products/view/steel-conduit-electrical-metallic-tubing-section#:~:text=Steel%20conduit%20and%20electrical%20metallic,%2C%20moisture%2C%20and%20chemical%20vapors.)] > [!Note] > EMT should not be encased in cement. PVC is a better solution in this case.
