I have to run a bunch of aluminum conduit in a waste water plant. I would like to come out of the electrical room with grs nippled just through the block wall so I don't have to worry about concrete being in contact with aluminum. Is there anything wrong with threading aluminum conduit into a steel fitting? Any other suggestions are appreciated.
