I have used it a couple of times, it has its pros and cons. One good thing to know about the stuff is that it is legal to use standard PVC fittings with it. (connectors,couplings,hubs,ect.)

I have used it a few times when I needed to make a rather tight bend when working with PVC conduit .

Why don't you ask Randy the Hack aka Fulthrotl about ENT?

use it often, like it a lot. it's blue. how can you go wrong with blue?
as dan says, you can glue fitting onto it, but it works quite nicely with
the carlon fittings.

home depot is pricey on it. wholesale houses are much better.

ELECTRICAL NONMETALLIC TUBING

Fittings ? The outside diameters of ENT are such that standard connectors,
couplings and outlet boxes for rigid PVC conduit can be employed for
ENT that is also constructed of PVC.

This can be an advantage if you want to keep your inventory low.Plus ENT fittings can cost ya.

The ENT fittings are expensive and don't work as well. Try putting a 3/4" PVC MA on ENT without glue and a pulling it off. Good luck.

Useing on 2 Parking garages now, $28.50 a 100"

$90.00 a 100 for the connectors

Nice thread.

I've never used ENT but there's some good info in here, I never knew pvc fittings were compatible with it.

 

[LarryFine]

It could come in handy when transitioning from PVC.

Added: What can be used to connect LFNC to PVC? The non-metallic version of the 'EMT connector - threaded coupling - FMC connector' connection.

I prefer the grey ENT, that way you dont look like a hack that buys their materials at homedepot

 

[Rewire]

you can also spin it and make music

and see how well that flies.....
