electrical metal tubing=  E M T  i just used short prices of rubber rad hose  they also have couplers that ya could weld together  i tried using a harbor freight bender but the wall thickness is thin and it kinked it were the rollers touch the top  my cousin that does electrical contracting says the hand benders  they use  work if ya have enough hamburger on yer ass to bend it  but they doo make nice bends    when i started mine  i wanted to make it all one peice front to back but ther wouldnt be possible to fit it in there
