Colleagues,
What are folks thoughts on how IMC conduit weathers near the coast?
Is this an upgrade that might be a better alternative than plastic?

EMT needs to be "pickled" with vinegar or acid, to get the paint to
hold. I love it for inland work, but near the ocean, it'll rust
through in 5 years. I'm not sure how much more time paint would buy
you.
Anybody use other plastic materials HDPE? Supposed to not have the
expansion problems of PVC.

If you have to run around the roof with EMT, you can protect it from rust
with a coat of paint.
Regards,
-Hans
