EMT Bending Shrink and Multipliers with Chart and Examples

[@santaclaus7411]

I've been watching your videos for at least 10 years now that I think of it. All of your videos are awesome and not clickbait. Thank you for sharing your experiences with us. You've already helped more then 1 billion people by now, which is amazing! From Santa Claus.

[@SparkyChannel]

Hi Santa! Thanks so much for the heart-warming comments!

[@raygibson1295]

Sparky sir, you made more sense than my tech school instructor. Salute!

[@SparkyChannel]

Great to hear, thanks!

[@PaulSmith-fg8sz]

Thanks Bill, these numbers help to have in storage. Maybe a video on parrallel kicks and 90's and such. You always are able to teach things where others don't. Thanks again.

[@SparkyChannel]

Yes, good to store them in your head! Quicker that way. :)

ok i think i watched enough youtube videos to fix my spring im ready to get on the ladder now!

[@SparkyChannel]

If you're not experienced at changing springs I would hire someone to take care of it. Those spring are very dangerous.

[@PoppyPerfect]

Nice video! Thanks for answering the questions! Thanks Bill!

[@SparkyChannel]

My pleasure. Have a great weekend!

[@davcot3675]

[@zhumusic-ng9tr]

So you add shrinkage to your first mark always??

[@tommycho9068]

Thank you always

[@SparkyChannel]

No problem, thanks Tommy!

[@clarkgaray6625]

Thank you so much sir bill

[@SparkyChannel]

Most welcome!

[@zhumusic-ng9tr]

If it's 1 1/2 inches shorter than before and you mentioned 2 sets of bends why did you only add 3/4 to first mark. Shouldnt you of added 3/4 to the 3rd bend ? Or ...

[@rookis25]

They show all the information on the back side of Klien 25' Tape measure.

[@SparkyChannel]

Yes, isn't that fantastic. I do point that out on some of my EMT bending videos.

[@simplysimplex7823]

i need help to fix my garage door its so heavy i cant lift it off the ground something is wrong it used to way so light

[@SparkyChannel]

Do you have a broken spring? Have you tried releasing it from the opener? If it's a broken spring, they are very dangerous to work on yourself unless you have a lot of experience with them.

[@rocioarancibia6142]

do you factor in shrinkage for both offsets in a 4 point saddle

[@misplacedpawn]

Only if you’re concerned with where the end of the pipe will land. Each offset made, will create shrinkage.

[@konamanstudio2447]

Is when are you going to teach us how to bed plastic condo Or PVC style 👍🏻🍻🍺🦃

[@SparkyChannel]

One of these days I will. I've been invited to the IDEAL National Championship again so I'll be making videos about that in December.

[@jeremyrodriguez5923]

@@SparkyChannel perfect! I was wondering if you could post any tips about running pvc. Such as strapping requirements, making bends with a heat box or heat gun. Any tips appreciated. Thanks Bill! Looking forward to that video.

[@ryanmikkelson8293]

Does this apply to all sizes of emt conduit? 1/2", 3/4", 1" ect...

[@illestofdemall13]

Shrinkage and multipliers vary with the different diameters of EMT.

[@104silvae]

@@illestofdemall13 wrong. They are the same.

[@cipher1167]

Cool!

[@SparkyChannel]

Thanks!

[@simplysimplex7823]

[@SparkyChannel]

It's cooling off here in San Diego now!

[@stevejobsmichel6253]
