As an electrician apprentice who has a conduit bending test coming up soon, this has been more informative than what I've learned at school.

I hate pipe bending! Like you said "the satisfaction of making it all come together is nice". I will agree!

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.

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! 👍

In the real world that channel or unistrut will have pipes on it or would be a J box. I'd love to see someone remove them just to run a conduit pipe that can just jump over it but then again... if your getting paid by the hour....😂😂

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.

Hey so in reference to your shrink table you had on your blackboard, does it apply to sizes 1/2, 3/4, and 1” EMT ?? + ?

@susanadams4480 4 ай бұрын

For the math babies, the "multiplier" is the slope of the angle.

I may have missed this, but What about The height going over the obstacle.

@GBlaque 6 ай бұрын

I still don’t know how to decide what degree of bend to use for the height of the obstacle/ offset. Is it something you just know? Like I use 10 degrees for my box offsets on a flat surface. Other than that, it’s pretty much trial and error. I’m an apprentice.

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

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….
