I was sent to do 6 pipes into a pull box all parallel offsets(17.75” offset with 5.25” kick). I have never done parallel offsets before. I went into the bathroom and watched this video and taught myself how to do it. 2nd year apprentice. Thank you very much for the video.

Thanks a lot. I was running 2 sets of 2" EMT today side by side, and I did both of my offsets the same and I had to make my gap before and after my offsets way bigger than I wanted to in order for my pipes to not be so damn close during the offset. I was curious to why and knew there was a better way, I will use this in the future all the time!

Every video could always be better, but with enthusiasm and a solid plan (vision), you've made a video that can help many, many electricians to become more skilled in the trade. Well done man.

I'm curious what kind of techniques he used. There is an old timer method for eyeballing offsets with minimal measuring, but it doesn't work well for paralleling. Keep trying to learn and hopefully you'll find someone in the field who likes to teach.
@1986BBG2 жыл бұрын
I was using this for some parallel Kick 90s and the formula was not working for me. Figured out that since it’s just a kick and not a full offset you use the tan for the full degree times your center to center distance. So for my 30° kick I used the tan of 30° instead of 15° like I would for parallel offsets and it all worked flawlessly. Great video.

Having worked for electrical contractors for almost forty years, and ran enough conduit to cross the State of Pennsylvania, I can honestly tell you if you used these complicated methods and took this much time it would look pretty, but they would run you off! What they want is clean, simple bends through which wire pulls easily, can be fabricated quickly and installed without a lot of fuss.There are much simpler methods which are more practical.

Great video, however I have a suggestion. Use a digital protractor on the long side of the pipe , zero it, than after your first bend test the bent end for 30 degrees. Also note the spring back and write it down for the next guy. For example you might have to bend a 33 degree bend for a perfect 30. Thank you for your video.

I did this on 4” rigid I was bending. You have to do this or your bends will hit (if you run tight center to center spacing) and you won’t be able to spin on your next bend. If you use this formula, Not only will your diagonal spacing be the same to your parallel spacing and look great, you will be able spin on your additional pipes.

When running a rack with different size conduit, should you bend them all on the shoe from the biggest size conduit in that rack because of bend radius difference or doesn’t matter ?

If you are running rigid or IMC conduit it is a good practice to use the largest conduit shoes for all your parallel runs. You can’t really do that with EMT though.

I know it's a bit off topic, but can someone explain what "typical EMT bend radius" means. For example, the typical EMT bend radius for 3/4" EMT is 5 1/8". A radius pertains to a circle, if I make a 90° bend, is 5 1/8" from the back of the bend towards the center of "the circle" the radius that they are talking about?
