IMC conduit weighs about half as much as rigid pipe and is equally strong or stronger due to the work hardening. Any electrical supply house will have it. But it is harder than rigid pipe so mounting clamps may not dig in very well.

Right now we're just getting at Menards but their heavy duty stuff is really expensive. We buy the thin-wall emt but for these we would like stronger pipe but seeing if there's a cheaper place than the big box stores like Home Depot and Menards.

We haven't used them before but we got some for a 20-mile link and we're adding RF Armor as well so they're quite heavy. What are your recommendations for a mount for these and any additional bracing to make sure they don't blow back and forth. Is a 2" pipe enough for the bracket on these?
