Which statement about EMT conduits is accurate?

EMT is a rigid metal conduit used to protect and route electrical conductors, and the way it is joined is with fittings that grip the tube—most commonly set-screw couplings and connectors (with compression fittings also used in some cases). These fittings slip onto the ends of the EMT and are tightened to hold the pieces together and maintain a continuous electrical path. It isn’t poured in place—that describes concrete or cast-in conduits—and it isn’t flexible like FMC; EMT is rigid and must be bent with a conduit bender to fit around corners or obstacles. So the statement about set-screw couplings and connectors accurately describes how EMT is joined.
