and include examples to show your thesis.

Copper, pipe in this case, is non-magnetic and a great/good conductor of electricity, minus the oxidation factor, I could fill the pipe with sand or something else, cotton rope for example, to kill the accompanying vibration generated by the 50/60 hz cycle generation and its a great rf shield, though I have had instances where the reflection back at/to the source has had deleterious effects on the overall performance and had to be removed or "dampened". My concern is that it could also act as an antenna of sorts, though earth grounding it, the copper pipe, should resolve at least some, if not all, of this. It also would act as a shield to the surrounding equipment and keep whatever insulation bleed-through from the ac cabling, read emi, no matter how small and seemingly insignificant, from effecting the performance of the components in close proximity to the run.
Makes sense to me, your thoughts?
95% of what you just rambled through could be achieved at less expense using EMT.

Thanks for your input. Why the attitude?
