EMT conduit question
Hi,
I will be needing to buy aproximately 100 10 ft. lengths of EMT (thin wall) conduit and I was wondering if there were better alternatives out there besides going to HD and Lowe's---they sometimes are out or low on stock of this stuff and alot of what I saw in there was bent.
Who makes this stuff (Tyco?) and do they distribute to the elecrtical trade through electrical supply companies?
I'll also be needing some end caps--vynyl or plastic, push on will be fine.
Thanks--

I prefer the supply house stock. Around here that would be predominantly Viking, Graybar or Badger.
Since I am a hack, I like the stuff that has an inked line on the whole length with inch markings, which makes it easier to bend. Or at least easier to figure out where to bend.

Let me add one more tibbit here just want to head up with the weight 30 lbs / 100 ft so for the OP if he get 1000 ft [ 100 - 10ft's ] it will weight in about 300 lbs or so.
some electrical supply do have local delivery as well when you order that much of the items [ my electical supply centre do included the delevery for me because i go thru alot of item in hurry ]
