Need to make a bend in some conduit? Well here's a video on how to do it with a piece of 2x4. No need to spend money on a bender or those pricey little pieces of pre-bent conduit.

Thank you so much. Very innovative and practical solution to being able to bend conduit without the added expense of a bender for my infrequent need.

FYI, just used your method on two pieces I needed to bend 180 deg. With 5” radius and it worked very well. Thanks! :)

I have one bend to do for a kids prop, going to give this a try. Jave no idea how you got 65 thumbs down?? This is exactly how fathers and grandfather's pass down tricks of the trade to the younger generation. You're doing it right.

u go home depot,select your pipe sizes.bend it before you scan it from the machine, that machine wouldn't ask why your conduit is bended.

Tried it today. Two "box bends" with 3/4" EMT. Worked great! Easy and quick. Thanks for making the video. Saved me a trip to the store and wasting $$$ on a bender that I didn't need. Thanks for sharing.

This worked perfectly to bend 1/2 EMT conduit. I think the "secret" is in adding the sand to the tubing prior to bending. Use of the 2 x 4 was a great idea. Thanks for taking the time to share this video!

The sand idea is a very good idea. That's what I should have done. Thanks for watching and commenting. Mark
@drmaestas6 жыл бұрын
that is a great idea to use sand. how much sand did it take to fill a 10-foot piece of 1/2" conduit?

My husband says rock salt works to prevent kinks, add first, plug ends. Clamp the bender to post

Same here, a 1" bender runs about $90.00. Cannot justify that for four bends.
@ma11achy2 жыл бұрын
Thanks very much, great idea! I had an old pipe bender that broke and didn't want to go out and buy a new one, as I rarely use it. This should work a charm, as I only have one or two conduits to bend.

Running 1" EMT in my garage, going to give your method a try; I only have 4 bends to make. I bought the pre-bent pipe, but if a little bit of extra effort can save me some dollars I will give it a go. Thanks for sharing.

For as many times as Home Depot has screwed me over with inaccurate in-store stock counts, I wouldn't feel too bad doing the buy/return dance every once in a while.

Seems it would be ideal for small offsets. Was going to just leave the pipe straight but may try it this way.

What a great idea! Just took the $83 bender kit out of my cart. ;)

Great idea! Thanks. Your bends came out great too and you did not need to fill the pipe with sand.
