I choose not to have a phone line (too expensive), Actually, the phone company will run a line to your house for free. There's nothing saying you have to get phone service using the line. Eric Lucas

Galvanized and Aluminum "Pipe" is also used as conduit for electrical work, with its own terminology. If you weren't so close minded, you might learn something. In this case, its "a long, hollow cylinder, usually steel, through which electrons are conducted.". The reducers are made from steel pipe, even if you do consider them to be bushings. > www.fi.edu/fellows/fellow2/jan99/new/oilvocab.html > > > I've used lots of them to connect 1/2" rigid conduit > > to cast boxes with 3/4" internal threads.
