Mastering a 30 degree offset is essential to developing as a well rounded electrician. Running conduit is by far my favorite thing to do but always remember how electricity works...
It takes the path of least resistance.
Don't look for the craziest path, use a 30, use a 90, and keep on running.

  • The problem with air bending is that it's very hard to match bends on parallel runs. It's better to floor bend them. Great video, with explanation. Can you do a video for floor bending?

    • Just takes time. I prefer to air bend so I'm not bending over all day.

      @danielhady3021@danielhady30212 жыл бұрын

    • TBH I hate floor bending, the second bend (if not done on a elevated platform) will mess up the first bend. When you "air bend" be sure to hold the conduit as close to the bender as you can. That will help with consistency. ps. I will do a floor bending video and show what I mean. Thanks a ton for the follow and comment.

    @Mohammed-ex8xu@Mohammed-ex8xu Жыл бұрын

    • Haha almost never. I love using minis which help you keep the conduit centered and straight and eliminate the need for the box offset. I know that there is a time and place for everything so se do have a video up on box offsets. Keep pushing to learn and grow. You’re investing in yourself my friend ❤️

  • Hey I’m still new to this but aren’t you suppose the measure the offset depth and multiply it with the multiplier

    @DavidMendoza-xj9df@DavidMendoza-xj9df11 ай бұрын

    • Yeah…. For a 30 degree offset measure the distance and multiple it by 2. For a 5” 30 degree offset the marks need to be 10” apart. 5x2=10

  • Or instead of center to center measurements, do outside of knockout to inside of knockout 🤷‍♂️

    @adler88u@adler88u5 ай бұрын

  • You made the right example but you were kind of wrong because you are bending by using measurements from boxes at the top and center of the stud, which I’m pretty sure you know that boxes don’t go on top of the stud it goes inside because then it would be exposed once it gets sheetrocked so that means that offset should of been at least 1 to 3 inches shorter depending on what knockout you are connecting to in each box, great example though I’m pretty sure the smart ones get the point lmao, but keep doing what you are doing I’m pretty sure it helps a lot of people
