HOW TO FORM A STEEL CONDUIT OFFSET BEND - Apprentice electrician essentials

[@lukemelton2023]

Thanks for the conduit bending tips extremely helpful for helping me pass my am2s. Would be great if you guys could do some more videos on 20mm plastic conduit. I had to do a 90 into a double set

[@solidus784]

If you just double rise for a 30 degree offset that will be the second mark and you can do it in one go and not have to take the pipe out of the machine. Eg. your 50mm rise would be 100mm between the marks.

[@joshuahowden8385]

I had do this with a 23mm drop and really stuggled, great video though could do it with a less drop so I can see how I need to do it please?

[@Randrew18]

This’ll help me with my AM2S thanks!

[@johnflower8648]

I used to use a wooden block with an elongated hole at the end to do. conduit settings

[@efixx]

Ash wood block 👍🏻

[@grumpygit447]

Block like a cricket bat with two holes one for 20mm and one for 25mm

We just bent it between our teeth.

Use a spirit level on your phone to get the same angle to get the parallel set accurate. They do work and the apps are free

[@mij.londoner]

If possible be nice to see how ppl tackle high offset bends within the middle of the tube having to use the bottom side of the former 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽🙂

Great video series guys, thank you

[@alanmarriott9216]

How else can you measure and mark if on site you haven’t a table to use!?

[@CGill40]

How are you guessing what 30 degrees is? I’m sitting my AM2 soon and have been told I can’t use an inclinometer. I won’t just be able to bend the pipe and know that I am looking at a bang on 30 degree angle which means the conduit isn’t going to meet with the box fixed on the wall.

[@georgesprackling6210]

What a double, double set called, (if so) so straight with two double set , at different distances, 50 and 90mm.

Gracias Luis 👍🏼

Beautiful instruction, best teacher !🔥🔥

[@tpot559]

It would be great to see an example where you have to go over 2x2 galv trunking, but not in a bubble. This method, but the American term, 4 point. 👍

[@WCamden]

Why exactly is changing the first bend so wrong? If say you’re bending a 3m length with just 150mm on the other side of the set it would be physically much easier to just adjust the smaller end

[@UberAlphaSirus]

Because your set would change.

[@SUNofNY]

Because we know the first was the desired 30deg. Maybe you have to do two or more and you want them to match to look good.

[@leeguitarmcr]

Think I need to go to the gym?!! What was that conduit made out of?? It looked too essy to bend.

[@shanebyrne6404]

Steel

[@danyates6598]

Hi is there a book on containment ?

[@shanebyrne6404]

I would use a scrap piece as a straight edge

[@grumpygit447]

When working on a building site you don’t always have tables So you either do it by eye or ode another bit of conduit on ground This pair would never last on site work

[@faisalhussain589]

[@stevehenke678]

I'd say "give it a tappy, tap, tap".

Pencil. Never a marker. Loss of two house points.

Marker is easier to see than pencil

Why Americans are so much better in bending conduits than british. Any chance you can explain the difference in the systems and can we use the american benders. As the british way is total pain with this heavy useless benders. British way is do the bend and hope and pray it looks good.

[@AndrewStrydomBRP]

British conduit is thicker walled than american

[@johncoombs3128]

You’d earn no money taking that long to do a double set,don’t cut it to short,do that after the set is complete,good for novices though 👍

[@electricalstuff259]

Dunno i get paid the same no matter what i get done in an hour. Not many blokes work for themselves putting in steel conduit lad

[@sarge9920]

What is wrong with people? This is an informative tutorial aimed at apprentices not a couple of blokes on site doing it on price. Have a day off fella 😴

[@electricalstuff259]

@@sarge9920 He knows so much about it that he sits watching videos about it. Surprised he has the time, won't be earning any money sat here watching youtube.

[@Walktheline1991]

Lad it's meant to be a tutorial, showing people through it step by step in detail. Of course it's going to take longer 😂 are you slow

[@lewisb.3242]

He’s right though, just do the set and cut it to size afterwards, save the headache
