Honestly I haven't come across a better KZhead channel than this one. You just learn soo much. Efixx team you are the best! Thank you for all your hard work.
👍
😁😁😁👍🏼👍🏼
My respect went out the window when they started reading from brochures about next gen tech products. Without putting sponsored on the video YET it was clearly a sponsorship endorsement for largest developer in UK to upsell their houses and look they got social media PR around it. Shame not a single sod explained anything beyond how it looks fancy. Even basics like the temp control being sections not by degrees. That is something anyone with common sense would of burst laughing at. Not a single part of video contained a single downside which clearly indicates they was paid to promote.
You are Damn Right!
Very nice and easy without complicated measurements very nice work
Ah never knew about reversing it. Thanks Lads
Fantastic lads. Always appreciate your videos. So helpful & extremely well thought through & explained. You’re an excellent teacher Gaz
Nice job well done that man . Christ that boy is good 👍 Fantastic video guy’s as always 👍👍👍👍❤️
😁😁😁❤️
Bend it upwards ffs I was wondering how it was done, didn't think of that brilliant thanks
Brilliant fantastic guys
Hi lads can you go through the initial set up of the bending machine for both 20mm and 25mm formers. Which holes to use for the bending arm etc. Thanks.
Nice 👍🏽
Do you have any tips and tricks for putting bends in pvc conduit with a bending spring at exact measurements?? I’d love to have a method to do 1 or 2 bends in a single piece
When you're on site you don't have time to faff around.. The fastest way to get a perfect 90 degree bend is to make your bend with the bender then using a magnetic sprit level stand on the pipe as in the video and adjust using the level.. 😉
You could always use something like a Trend Digital Level. Stick it in before the bend and check the degrees as you bend.
@@SteS That would work if the pipe in the bender (after the retainer hook) was parallel to the floor, but unfortunately they aren't made that way..
@@essdee9143 if the level was reset to zero before bending I'm pretty sure it would work.
@@essdee9143 I don't understand why they don't design a bending machine with degrees etched onto the former so to make things easier.
@@zippymo672 they benders with the degrees on the arm
I was told on my first day, "Never Bend Down on Site.".
Hahaha...!
Is there not a way to insert the conduit into the bender from the back and bend the smaller part down? Think it adds or takes away some distance though. Hoping someone can clear this up as seen people on site doing it but don’t know exactly what it puts on or takes off. Any help please???
Try this with 25mm ,it gives you a good workout.
Upcoming video dealing with that .. gaz gets a workout 🏋️♀️
Are you going to do a tutorial on wiring lighting in singles ,say a two way switch at each end with lights in the middle?
You should just hire someone
I'm confused. The measured 1m length wouldn't be the part that should scrape the floor. Is this technique to help where the excess after the measured point (ie sticking out towards you) is longer than a meter....
Or use the mark back method!
Nice video but in reality a lot of the time a 3m length is what you use. Any video on how to bend 300mm in a 3m length please
Your benders roller is still in the 25mm former size hole this will flatten out the tube.
You’ll get snide comments from them if you point out any wrong doing
Which hole are you supposed to put the roller in for bending 20mm conduit and which are you supposed to put it in for bending 25mm? I had to put a missing roller in the bending handle the other day for bending 25mm conduit and I didnt know which hole to put it in so I put it in the 2nd hole above the former. It was very tight but it seemed to work. Was this right or wrong?
Yep just as I would have done it lol
Ahaaa what if your in a 900mm tall room 😂
