biggrin How long should EMT conduit be?

DH and I are laying brick pavers this weekend. The finished size of the patio will be 14 X 20' with a bump out for our gas grill. How long and how many pieces will we need of the conduit?

I would think that conduit 20' long could be warped, so if I buy 10 foot conduit can some one help me with this?

I have printed out the instructions for brick paver patios, very informative, but did not see how long the 1' conduit should be.

Thanks,
Zimmydog

20' is going to be hard to manage, even if it was perfectly straight. The stuff at most big box stores is 10', and that's what we use. Over time we end up having to cut some down to fit a specific patio prep, and after awhile we have enough long and short to do just about everything.
