Questions & Answers
What does mean when the specs say "It can also be used as a grounding conductor for lengths up to 6 feet"? This conduit can only be used for grounding for lengths no more than six feet?
The National Electrical Code (NEC) imposes a maximum length of 1.8 meters (about 6 feet) for liquid-tight flexible metal conduits 1.25" and smaller. If the flexible conduit exceeds this length, it cannot serve as an equipment ground.
Would this product be suitable to extend a small engine exhaust ? I understand this isn't the intended application but thinking outside the box in order to run an exhaust out of building.
Not really, Aluminum may not handle the heat generated by exhaust which can reach temperatures above what these conduits are designed for. Use steal flex instead.
It is not gas tight. The exhaust would leak out all down the length of the conduit.
can this be used as exterior conduit for STARLINK cable ?

Yes. though unless you need metal for cut/damage protection, the nonmetallic watertight cables are well suitable for data cables and would be a cheaper option. This is what I use for low voltage data cables...
Can this be used outdoors on the side of a house?

Is this plenum and fire rated? CL3P rated?

I am trying to order the correct size straps to attach this to the joists. The specifications listed for this 3/4" conduit says 0.56" OD and 0.375" ID. That does not sound right. Is the standard 3/4" EMT straps used for rigid EMT conduit still good for these? https://www.homedepot.com/p/Halex-3-4-in-Electrical-Metallic-Tube-EMT-1-Hole-Straps-20-Pack-26152/100191266

How deep to bury underground?
This is not intended for direct burial. Use gray PVC for that.
The recommended depth to bury this is at 18-24 inches.
What is the ID and OD in inches of this product?
Inner diameter( min/max): .812/.835. outer diameter( min/max):1.045/1.105 The above advice is based upon the current edition of the National Electric Code (NEC). Free access to the latest version of the NEC is available online at www.nfpa.org/freeaccess. The NEC and local building codes regulate the types of wire and cable that can be used in specific electrical applications, as well as the manner of installation. Check your local building codes before you start any wiring and cable electrical project and be sure to obtain required permits. When your work is complete, always have it inspected for compliance with local codes to ensure that it has been safely installed.
