3-1/2" Conduit

[tkb]

Does anyone use 3-1/2" conduit or do you just up-size to 4".

I have only used 3-1/2" twice in 30 years.

I don't think that the supply housed stock 3-1/2" fittings like they do for 4".

I actually use it.

I do occasionally use it, but I check the price first. Often, 3-1/2 is more expensive than 4", since it's less popular. You need to do a pretty good fitting takeoff for 3-1/2", since if you're short you can't normally buzz on down to the supply house to get one in that size.

I guess I'm lucky. It's a stock item in Wilmington, NC and it always costs less than 4".
