I would assume that other manufacturer's may have something similar. https://www.bptfittings.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/06/BPT-FITTINGS-LISTING-for-Aluminum-EMT.pdf

The product brochure says it's compatible with steel and cast fittings, and mentions an NEC atricle. https://www.americanconduit.com/wp-content/uploads/PullEase-8-page-Booklet_Mar_2021.pdf

kwired Electron manager Location NE Nebraska Occupation EC Apr 8, 2021 #7 Does ENT take about as much physical abuse? Bet sch40 PVC takes as much if not more physical abuse, presuming similar wall thickness as steel EMT. Curious as to how well it bends as well. Bet you don't "undo" mistakes in bending as easily as you can with steel EMT
