If you're interested in learning how to bend electrical conduit like a pro, then this video is for you!
Never Cut Corners and Never Say "Good Enough".
Start with pipe bending calculations and pipe bending basics. Its' not just how to bend pipe, it is the foundation for all pipe or electrical conduit bending you need to ben pipe the right way.
Don't be lazy and watch the video till the end, In over 8 minuets you will be smarter than you were 8 minuets ago and a better pipe bender, GUARANTEED!!!
Lots of stuff you need to know!
You'll also learn some Pipe Bending Calculations to remember that will help with all bends.
One of the most informative videos for this on KZhead. Nice! Thanks!
Dude you meet at the bar, and he starts talking math, and you are like-WTF-LOL Great Vid!!!
I hate pipe bending! Like you said "the satisfaction of making it all come together is nice". I will agree!
Pipe bending and trouble shooting are my favorites. I love the challenge
Got a midterm tomorrow this video has been very helpful thank you sir
Thank sir , your videos are very helpful
Thanks for the lesson. Much appreciated.
im glad you got something out of it
Great video. Thankyou
Well explained, thank you 🙏
thanks so much
Great video, thanks for the help!
Thanks for all the info..cheers
Definitely helpful! Could you do a video on offsets, box offsets, kicks etc? Difference between a forward 90 and a stub 90, back to back 90's?
yep thats in the works on my floppy disc I call my brain....lol
Hello Mr. SE; Can you please do a four points bend and a more of a complex bend using 15, 221/2, 45, and 60° bends so that people can relate to?? I really appreciate your videos and thank you!!!!!
Couple points, those notches that you pointed out are actually the center of bend for different angles. For example, my Milwaukee bender has three of them, and as per the instructions on the handle, the first notch is a center of a bend for a 30, then 45, then 60 degree bend if memory serves. On this particular Klein bender the star dictates the back of a bend when viewed from above, looking down with the pipe on the ground and the bender handle vertical, it happens to line up with the notch, but that is not true on every bender. Furthermore, shrinkage only affects the pipe downstream of the bend- the first end of the pipe is inside the coupling and is a fixed point. Concerning shrinkage, whatever the first bend is going into the saddle will dictate what shrinkage you use. For example, in this video, you used a 22.5° bend, so the shrinkage would be 3/16 per inch of rise if you used a 30° bend then the shrinkage would be 1/4 in. per inch of rise, etc. Another point to mention is, it’s more common practice when doing a three bend saddles to use the push through method, bending the first bend first, and then the center bend second and then the third bend last- doing so ensures leverage, if your saddle were near the end of the pipe instead of in the center as shown in this video.
THANK U VERY MUCH.
I'm obviously not as smart as your average viewer. I hope in the future you could do this video again more slowly with more visuals. I was trying to capture what you were saying but the numbers and the angles were coming at me too fast. But I do enjoy your posts and eagerly await them every week. Please keep on doing what you're doing. And have a taco and a beer for me!
Noted! will do thanks
Thanks
I can Wing a saddle over that, it would be a four point saddle bend to allow for strapping to the unistrut but I can use a tape measure just so I can show you what I'm doing , I don't know if you're going to cuz I haven't seen the video yet but don't put any marks on your conduit with a sharpie, I've never done any multipliers or anything I just pencil mark my saddle on the conduit and allow for the shrinkage. You got to know your notches though I'm going to make a video because I can show so many shortcuts and tricks, to avoid adding bones to the Bone pile, I can bend conduit, just like the man who taught me, I was the best until I trained a bunch of guys that are out there, bending it, better than Beckham I just went up north to Oakland off the couch and bent 300 ft of half inch conduit without a mistake, every whitch Way and every kind of v Bend you can imagine, even a shepherd's hook offset
As a handyman who dabbles in electrical work, what I would do is unscrew that piece of channel, run the conduit against the wall underneath it. Screw the channel back over the pipe and take a sledge and bash both ends of the unistrut until it conformed around the pipe. No bender or calculations needed! 👍
LMFAO!!!!!! shhhhhhh me tooooo!
@@StarvingElectrician haha I thought you would appreciate that comment. 😁. Appreciate your channel and your style my man. And of course a love of tacos! and Guys Im not actually a handyman. Save your rants lol.
Hello sir, quick question how come the 22.5 multiplier is 2.5 instead of 2.6? Everything else is the same multiplier when doing offset but only 22.5 is different….
i hear ya. its just easier but not techinacially right.
5:15 Why 3" saddle, when the strut only is 1-5/8" thick ?? 2" saddle would be perfect, but 3" ... 🤨🤔
Great video. Thankyou
