EMT (thin-wall metal): Lightweight, bendable, indoor use. PVC: Weatherproof, ideal for underground/wet locations. Rigid (GRC): Heavy-duty, requires threading for connections.

Attach a fish tape or glow rod to the wires, or use a vacuum with a lightweight pull string to suck a guide through first.

Use a conduit bender, mark the bend point, and apply steady pressure—subtract the "take-up" distance (see bender’s chart).
