Persons experienced in steel conduit

Yes Dusty we use EMT, IMC, PVC Schedule 40 and 80, and rigid conduit and seal tite and Carlon flex

I also see a lot of older houses on youtube wired fully in MC cable

Do you still use a lot of MC or is it out of fashion now ?

I’ve never seen someone use MC cable in Homes we use NMS or romex which is the same thing. MC cable is always used in commercial applications. Industrial is always either cable tray or IMC conduit

I personally wouldn’t ever use MC cable in Domestic it’s a lot more expensive than Romex and to me it’s a pain in the but and you would have to use metal boxes. I use plastic boxes and reason is you don’t have to bond plastic

It looks to me that a lot of the older houses from the 1950s and 1960s were wired using MC ?

It probably was but what I run into on a lot of old homes is knob and tube wiring which if you do any work on them homes code enforcement demands you bring it up to today’s standards

I try and stay away from those knob and tube homes because it’s a lot of work for a total rewire. Too old for that work, I sub that out to others for a fee
