Depends on location and local codes.
typically plastic conduit or PVC is used outside or in wet locations. There are restrictions for PVC conduit. PVC can also be buried at a minimum depth of 24"
There are a few types of metal conduit. EMT is used the majority of the time. The rigid pipe threads together and can be used in just about all locations.
Then there is pvc coated rigid pipe which can be used anywhere provided you use the proper fittings.
There are other types of conduit, such as fiberglass, aluminum and composites.

What gauge wire should be used to rewire auto?
There are many size gauge wires used in the making of an automobile, anywhere from 4 gauge to 22 gauge.
What size rigid metal conduit should be used to house eight no 6 rh wires AND NINE NO 14 FEP wires?
2 inch
Is it permitted to use flexible conduit over 6 feet in length as a grounding means?
No. The new electrical code change does not allow any flexible conduit to be used as a ground means. It is now required to have a green ground wire pulled into the conduit with the other conductors in the flexible conduit. This grounded bonding conductor is not counted as wire fill when calculating the size of the flexible conduit to use

What gauge of wire is required to carry a certain amperage X number of feet? How do you break out a 120 volt circut from a 3 phase line? When installing a load center, how should the ground be installed? What locations require Ground Fault Interrupters to be installed? How should a 240 volt dryer plug be wired? What is the minimum size conduit that 3 0 gauge wires can be pulled in? Can 12 guage Romex be used to wire a water heater?
What size breaker should be used for 1500 watt bathroom exhaust fan heater?
20 amp breaker 12 gauge wire assuming its 120 volt
What is the smallest size emt conduit that can be used with nineteen 10 gauge thwn wires?
1 1/2 inch

What are the main principles concerning conduit bodies?
Conduit bodies are used to provide pulling access in a run of conduit, to conserve space where a full size bend radius would be impractical, to allow more bends to be made in a section of conduit or to split a conduit path into multiple directions.
What is the maximum allowable conductor fill of any trade size conduit used as a raceway?
It depends on the wiring, the current load in the wiring , and the distance. The NEC Code book has the charts for this.And the size of the conduit.
What percentage is the maximum allowable conductor fill of any trade size conduit used as a raceway?
It depends on the wiring, the current load in the wiring , and the distance. The NEC Code book has the charts for this.And the size of the conduit.
What size breaker should be used on a 20 amp motor?
30 amp breaker with #10 gauge copper wire
What type of conduit is used for 480 volt 3-wire?
Conduit is just a medium to get the wires from one place to another. There is no voltage restrictions in low voltage wiring (750 volts or less). When it comes to conduit fill, electricians are governed by the electrical code conduit fill tables. The conduit is sized to accommodate the conductor size for a specific load.
Is it permitted to use flexible conduit over 6 feet in length as a grounding means?
No. The new electrical code change does not allow any flexible conduit to be used as a ground means. It is now required to have a green ground wire pulled into the conduit with the other conductors in the flexible conduit. This grounded bonding conductor is not counted as wire fill when calculating the size of the flexible conduit to use
What is the size of rain gauge?
A rain gauge can be of any size, as it is just some type of container used to measure how much rain falls in an area.
What are electrical conduit fittings used for?
An electrical conduit is a tube used to protect and route electrical wiring in a building or nonbuilding structure. Electrical conduit may be made of metal, plastic, fiber, or fired clay. Most conduit is rigid, but flexible conduit is used for some purposes.
