I am going to need to install a small amount of galvanised steel conduit, leading down to perhaps 4 sockets and a light switch. This is in a domestic premise. The customer wants the industrial type look and they want it looking very nice, they are happy to pay the price for this.

I have found 2 different types of wall holders and wondered if these are what are usually used, or if there are more options? Option 1 looks nicer but i don't thin it would work.

1. Brass Munsen Rings 22mm 5 Pack - Screwfix - https://www.NoLinkingToThis/p/brass-munsen-rings-22mm-5-pack/8699V?kpid=8699V&ds_rl=1249404&gclid=Cj0KCQjwz6ShBhCMARIsAH9A0qUCFGWJoYE3Jy86ysR0qEStLGnHKSWH0jAEBEy5YAoRsVUqbJ84G3gaAsiREALw_wcB&gclsrc=aw.ds

I realise the munsen ring is 22mm and for 22mm pipe, used for plumbing. Would this still work? I am not sure if pipe used for plumbing is measured the same as electrical conduit, I.e does 22mm mean the diameter of the pipe (as it would in electrical conduit) or the diameter of the hole? I have a feeling these rings would not fit sungly and therefore not work.

The saddles are the correct item to use, but that look a bit crude compared to the plumbing ones which, I guess, are designed for viewing but would not hold the pipe correctly.

Also the right saddle keeps the pipe at the same spacing as typical accessories like conduit junction boxes and metal-clad socket boxes, etc.
 
Saddles do look a bit Council Car Park , but as above they bring the conduit just enough off the call to marry up nicely to the box and they have a degree of left to right flexibility when fixed to the wall.

I think you can get online galv P-clips for pipe
 
Distance Saddles, or to give them their correct name Hospital Saddles, so you could clea the wall behind them.
Munson rings will be loose on the conduit.

Distance saddles and hospital saddles are not the same thing. The difference is nicely illustrated in this picture:

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?
