25.4 mm Conduit

Hello, gentlemen
I have a serious problem, I can not get 25.4mm conduits in Texas.
Try at Lowes and at Home Depot, also at some local stores.
Every time I measure the 1-inch pipes all give a reading of 27 mm …
I live in Mcallen, someone bought the pipes by amazon or some page ??

Thanks

Marcos

Counduit is not 25.4…That is for stainless OD tubes. If you are using conduit you should buy 3/4" conduit the OD of it will be 23.5.

I want to build a very strong rigid structure.
Okay, I’ll keep looking for the stainless OD tubes

In Colorado, I found some at a “metal supermarket”. But I’m sure there are other metal suppliers in Texas.

Which of the options do you recommend?

Find one in Austin … it’s the closest

You will find that one of those thicknesses will be substantially cheaper than the rest. Choose it.
