Can I use EMT conduit for exhaust?
EMT is steel so it should handle the heat of the exhaust ok.
Where can I use EMT conduit?
EMT conduit is more affordable than IMC or GRC, but its thin walls are more easily punctured. It is most often used in dry interior spaces, but it can be used in damp locations with corrosion-resistant hardware and rain-tight fittings.
Is conduit and EMT the same thing?
Electrical Metallic Tubing—EMT EMT is also called “thin-wall” conduit because it is thin and lightweight, especially compared to RMC. EMT is rigid but can be bent with a simple tool called a conduit bender.
How far apart should EMT conduit be supported?
10 ft.
Supporting EMT. EMT must be secured at least every 10 ft. and within 3 ft. of every outlet box, junction box, device box, cabinet, conduit body, or other termination.
Can you weld IMC conduit?
IMC is manufactured as a cross between EMT and rigid metal conduit (RMC). A slightly thinner gauge than RMC, IMC is light but strong. It has the same electric-resistance welded tube-making process as EMT, but it is threaded like RMC, so the same couplings can be used for both.
Can you use black pipe for exhaust?
Black iron does work well as an exhaust system, anti sieze works wonders, use it all the time on exhaust manifolds for offroad/mud run trucks, never had any issues with it.
Can Romex be used in conduit?

Allied Tube & Conduit®’s mission is to be the leader in providing solutions and more choices for customers.
Can you use PEX for electrical conduit?
Pex tubing or any other plumbing pipe is not listed for use as an electrical raceway. If you just want some physical protection for the Cat 5 cable then PVC electrical conduit will perform nicely. Save your scrap pex for a plumbing project.
