Vice as tight as possible.Incidentally, if using nice clean stainless conduit is there any practical way to grip it for threading, etc, that wont leave much in the way of vice marks on the pipe?

It must be tight so it doesn't slip which then causes the markingIncidentally, if using nice clean stainless conduit is there any practical way to grip it for threading, etc, that wont leave much in the way of vice marks on the pipe?
Or you can do away with threading altogether and use the Conlok range
Not if installed correctlyIf the conduit is intended to be decorative or extremely light duty applications maybe. That stuff is no good in any application where the conduit system can be expected to receive any kind of impact.
Not if installed correctly
It conforms to the same BS ES no as conventional threaded systems and has a longer lifespan due to it being fully galvanised whereas external use for threaded can degrade over time and the thread is normally the weak point
I believe if you want to maintain IP rating for protection against water ingress then some sealant i.e. silicon has to be used at the joint, however i could be wrong on that. In regards to what type of saddle to use how about the stainless steel clips by D Line?This has not been my experience.
If installed correctly threaded conduit will last just fine externally.
I'm not sure that Conlok wouldnt allow water in at each joint though.

If it will receive that much impact then the saddles will give way before these accessories
You can also mix and match. Using the pre threaded end of tube on one end and conlok on the other
