Emt in attic.

I was able to bring 12 2nm from the 20a breaker at. Nm in the attic and basement. Oct 2002 total posts. Whether to use emt conduit over grc or other metallic tubing options is the question.

This short guide can help you understand what it is and where you should be using it. Emt is installed with couplings and fittings that are secured with setscrew or compression type fasteners. The tubing itself is not threaded like rmc and imc. Emt is rigid but can be bent with a simple tool called a conduit bender.

The 6 solid in a raceway is a violation too. Emt would be fine too but dealing with 10 sticks of conduit in an attic may be a challenge. Emt is also called thin wall conduit because it is thin and lightweight especially compared to rmc. I did a lot of reading about it but am confused about the best way to do it.
