Nice technique to form some tube. Great video Gary!
Just done steel conduit at college today and this is a great recap for my job card. Thanks 😊
Hi Gary, I’ve been watching your videos for a while now. I’m in my third year of my apprenticeship and I have to say thank you for all your videos, you have helped me a lot with revision for theory and practical skills. Thanks
Totally pleasure Matt and I appreciate your support. 👍
Steel conduit videos are my favourite from you
We do get some satisfaction from working with conduit especially when it installed and we step and we have done a proper job, I love it even though I have work with conduit for many years. Fantastic technique Gaz. Fantastic video as always 👍👍👍❤️
Good video mate ,thanks for sharing
I haven’t done my offset in 7202 yet, and I was feeling nervous about it for some reason but looking at this and your methods I generally feel very confident to do it, thanks so much this is fantastic!
Excellent technique!
I’m a bricklayer just changed career to electrics. All the little tricks I learnt have transferred. Makes it so much easier to actually do the job knowing about construction. Just all the jargon is winding me up.
Excellent vid Gaz. You make it look easy. Dan
Thanks for the fantastic comment. 🦾Gaz
Quality thank you👌👍
Thanks 👍
Very helpful thank you
Thanks for watching 👍🏻
Good video chaps. Maybe a stupid question but how far back was that line on the bender and how do you find it? Do you have to take a figure off back of bend to get it?
What if that suggested mark is not on the bender im using, how do i know where to bend it?
Excellent work ... may i asking about How many (90 degree bend) allowed in one single stright conduit and what's the max length of that conduit before entering the junction box .. and any suggestions regulations or books about that 👍
No section of conduit shall contain more than two 90-degree bends, or equivalent between pull points. But depending on the number and size of cables, two 90-degree bends can be difficult to pull around. Therefore, I tend to put a through box, or equivalent at each 90. Hope this helps 👍
Great video Gary! How can I find the steel conduit life hacks video? Thanks!
Steel Conduit Life Hack How to Make Treading and Bending of Steel (metal) Conduit Easier (EMT) kzhead.info/sun/qbttnNVthomKYH0/bejne.html This one 🦾
Can I ask you chose to go with 150mm as your starting point, is this standard practice or does it depend the job? I’m sitting my AM2S soon and I’m wondering if they will tell me exactly where they want me to start the bend or if they expect me to know that from the start
Great video, although if your out and don't have a steel bench to hand - the floorboards at your feet would have been helpful :)
👍
👍👍👍👍👍
Thanks for sharing. What is the bend degree?
First one try for about 30 degrees 👍🏻
Hi mate doing my am2s today Just to let you know I have to do a metal conduit 90 into a set Then plastic pvc conduit I have to a 90 and a bubble
Thanks for the update and good luck with your results 👍🏻
Is there a better way to measure the distance between the two bends if you don’t have a table
There is a mathematical method by getting the height of your offset
Why 75mm at the bench?why that number?for the second bend I mean
If you dont have a bench, you can mark a straight line in pencil on the wall and do the same thing instead
if one of my apprentices used a marker on pipe they would get sent back to the shop and why not use 30d angles the math is way easier for newbies
Where is your college
Tresham College in Corby Northamptonshire
Watching this from the USA. You guys do it wayyyy to complicated...
Thanks for watching and the feedback 👍🏻
He's teaching rookies.lol Have ran conduit in the UK and Canada i prefer benders in the UK compared to the hand benders here. Also steel conduit is thicker gauge and we have to thread it unlike EMT.
@@dvrn86 do you now if US heavy wall conduit is thicker guage then UK steel conduit ? Looks like US couplings makes live way easier then threading.
@@KingZongo Yeah, screw couplings and connectors make it way easier and faster to run steel conduit than having to thread everything. Probably why tray and trunking is utilised more. I've only ran 1 1/4 - 2" rigid conduit here so can't really say compared to the 20 - 25mm steel conduit in the uk.
@@dvrn86 thanks.

You are out of breath because your ignoring the chronological limits of your exhale. Speaking when you should be inhaling makes you out of breath because your are expelling breath when you should be inhaling oxygen. Practice limiting your speech to your out breath (exhale). This will require you to be more concise but you will feel a lot more relaxed and will dramatically reduce the speed at which you speak.
Hi thanks for the comment - I am currently undergoing tests as I have an enlarged heart and high blood pressure… hence the lack of breath 👍🏻
