1. Measure and Cut: Measure the distance between your boxes. Use a tubing cutter or a hacksaw to cut your EMT conduit to length.
2. Deburr: Use a reamer or pliers to smooth the sharp inner edge of the cut pipe. This prevents the metal from slicing your HDMI cables later.
3. Dry Fit: Connect the pipes to the boxes using set-screw connectors. Ensure your runs are straight and level (or intentionally angled, if that’s your aesthetic).
4. Secure the Pipe: Use pipe straps every 3 to 4 feet. Drive screws into studs whenever possible. If you hit drywall only, use heavy-duty drywall anchors (molly bolts) or toggle bolts. Pro Tip: Use hex-head screws for the straps to match the industrial hardware aesthetic.
