EMT = "Electrical Metallic Tubing".

ENT = "Electrical Non-metallic Tubing" (the corrugated flexible PVC stuff).

PVC = "Polyvinyl Chloride" (referring to the composition of the material).

I knew that lol I just call it

EMT= Metal conduit

ENT = Plastic Conduit

CFPC = Corrugated Flexible Plastic Conduit flexicon for short

PVC = PVC yeah honestly I did know that, but I tend not to use acronyms unless I know what they mean.

Most people that I have spoken to know what CCTV is but haven't a clue it's Closed Circuit TeleVision as opposed to

broadcast television. Although I suppose it's not really closed circuit anymore if you want to be strictly accurate.

 

Thanks for indulging me guys. Lets get back on thread

one inch for sure you might be able to get your cable in 3/4 but the fun starts when you have bends. If you have a very tight pull you run the risk of stripping the insulation off. I don't know the cost difference between 3/4 and one inch but don't think it is too much. Most of the cabling jobs we do on new construction are putting in 3/4 for just two cat6 cables
