I’ve been an apprentice in electrical for about a month now and you have no idea how many questions you just answered for me , thank you . Ps you’re a very good teacher and speaker you explained everything crystal clear
Sorry to be so off topic but does anyone know of a tool to get back into an Instagram account..? I somehow lost the account password. I would appreciate any tricks you can offer me
@Ronnie Aarav thanks for your reply. I got to the site through google and im in the hacking process atm. Takes a while so I will get back to you later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
Great video man, I used to be a pipe-fitter when I got out of college back in the 80's and had forgotten about gaining and losing when you bend pipe! Your explanation was spot on and I know it makes some people scratch their heads but it was an awesome refresher!
Dude....thank you. Trying to make a shower curtain pipe for a claw foot tub and this video plus your back-to-back bend video finally made sense. Now to go out and get some more 3/4" EMT :)
pretty good instructional video thanks for the tips this is the best video I have found to help me out with this new skill I am learning thanks again man!
thank you for reponding to my question. I see what you mean. please post a video on 4 point saddles. you make it easy to understand wish I had an instructor like you when I went to school.
I have never bent or installed conduit and today was the first time I tried. I measured a 4 bend saddle for a junction box that was very close to the wall. The problem was my conduit was 10 feet long. I got the first bend but with the second bend it was just to hard balancing upside down the rest of the conduit to perform the bend. I also i guess am not that strong either. What do i do in a real situation.
I have never considered a tail lol.I measure say 30 inchs from the end of 10 ft. pc. of pipe, mark it, then deduct 6 inchs put your 3/4 inch bender on pipe, line up arrow with your mark and bend the pipe, your are now done ,very simple.You will end up with a 30 inch 90'........
Hi. I'm trying to bend conduit to make a cold frame/greenhouse over my garden. I'm using two 45 degree bends and one 90 degree bend. I now understand how to bend conduit at 90 degrees watching your video. By the way, I love your video because you clearly explain how to make a 90 degree bend. I am still looking for videos for 45 degree bends. I don't see any videos that would help me to understand how to make a 45 degree bend. What I'm trying to do is make a 90 degree bend in the middle of the 10 feet length of pipe and a 45 degree bend on each side of the 90 degree bend to create the traditional gable roof for a greenhouse. Can you walk me through as to what I should do? I left a comment on one of your videos before and you stated that I should look at back to back bends but I'm still unclear as to how I should accomplish what I want. Please help!
I did not understand when you said that when you got a 3/4 in conduit you have to take up 4 " and than add 6" to complete the 10" . a ming.... that's only when you want to keep the 10" of stud right? . sorry for my english it is not my first language.
i had 31.5 in to the ceiling and i subtracted 6 in and i did my 90 degree bend and was good, then i had to go to a 55 in wall and make another 90 degree bend horizontal to the right, i measured the 55 in and i subtracted the 6 in again but my bend was like 7 in back from it was supposed to be. how should i do it next time. all the videos that i have seen are like back to back 90 degrees but what about if i have to make 3 90 degrees bending in different directions all of them? could you help me please.
U could try bending from the star when u do that u have to bend the other direction also when u measure for second bend put the bender handle flat against the 90s outside and use it as a straight edge to measure. Make sure the 90 is a true 90 first. My guess is u probably bent the pipe from the wrong end to be 7inch off or u deducted when u shouldnt have. When u use the star u dont subtract any.
You lost me at the end when you said you started with a 60" piece of conduit and bent a 10" stub and the pipe grew 21/2" resulting with a 62-1/2" overall measurement. should that leave you with a 50" tail/10" stub? so when you bend a 90 degree bend the pipe grows?
+Jordan Richey The pipe does not grow, but because of the 10" height of bend and 52.5 " from back of bend to the end, it gives the impression that the pipe grew 2.5 inches This is because of the radius of the bend allows to you gain 2.5 inches. each bender will have a gain. the half inch bend in this video has a 2.5" gain. hope that helps.
+Jordan Richey During the bend the pipe probably got stretched a tad into the radius. If you tried to bend a pipe that was (not ductile) (meaning it can not be bent) it would break and their would be no bend. I could be wrong this is just my theory. Something to think about as it makes sense. Remember math, science, and property of materials. Have a nice day.
It's caked take up. The two 90$ don't actually equal the over length of the conduit. It allows you to make some 90$ with conduits that are seemingly to short if its within a very narrow range.
guys and gals, it is a 5 inch use of pipe in the bend. 2.5 inch will deduct from the tail length and 2.5 inch is gained toward the turn or stub. Just do not over think this. The 10 inch stub distance from outer side of that horizontal pipe will measure 10 inches to the box it is turned up to. (with this 1/2 inch emt bender, bend from 5 inch mark at the arrow of the hook on bender. This will turn to 90% when fully bent, its heel rolling all the way down to the pipe.) The 5 inches from that beginning mark plus the 5 inch gain from that 90% bend gives you a height of 10 inches to that box. The length remaining in the tail will have lost half of that bend in length. IE. 2 1/2 inches in this case of a 1/2 inch 90. EXAMPLE: if you are using a 3/4 bender for the same 90 stub, you will lose 3 inches from the length in the tail after the bend is made. Because a 3/4 inch bender takes 6 inches for that 90% bend. But with the 6 inch accounted for the turn in a 90 stub, you would start the bend at 4 inch mark with arrow at the hook to get a 10 inch high stub! Just as a 1 inch 90 takes 8 inches, you would bend from mark at 2 inch to start the bend. Hence the 8 inch of height for bend and the 2 iches will get your stub to 10 inches high overall. And 4 inches will be taken from the length of tail with a 1 inch scenario. The 2",4", 5" marks to bend a stub at 10 inches is relative to the size of pipe you are bending! That TAIL length crap is not important. Don't get to fancy with the tail. Put on a coupler and extend your run after the bend.

@Ronnie Aarav it worked and I finally got access to my account again. I am so happy!
Thank you so much you saved my account!
@Ares Coleman no problem :D
I finally get it now, a lot of videos they're nice and helpful but the way this guy wrote it on the board and explained it all FINALLY clicked to me

Dan Faviere ok
This Guy is very good explaining how to bend Conduit in a professional matter.
this is the best break down on a 90" bend very simple to understand thank you
You are the man! Really helped me grasp this before starting work for commercial contractor. Thanks much
Very well explained with accurate details Thank you for making this video.
Dude....thank you. Trying to make a shower curtain pipe for a claw foot tub and this video plus your back-to-back bend video finally made sense. Now to go out and get some more 3/4" EMT :)
Watching your video before my lab
And hoping that you are in great health 🙏
One of your student
Very nicely done. You explain things very well. Clear and concise. Thank you.
Can't wait to do this in class! I'm excited. Finally a career I actually look forward to!

pretty good instructional video thanks for the tips this is the best video I have found to help me out with this new skill I am learning thanks again man!
Excellent presentation! Thanks for sharing your knowledge.
thank you for reponding to my question. I see what you mean. please post a video on 4 point saddles. you make it easy to understand wish I had an instructor like you when I went to school.
Thank you for the information well explained!! I appreciate it
Just wnt to comment we learn lot's this vedio it's really helpful thx.
Hello Sam Maltese thank you for the video. Would you have more videos on conduit bending? Box offset , 3 point saddle and 4 point ?
Hello Robert,
My TH-cam page has all my videos. There are a few more on conduit bending there.
This is an awesome video thank you!
Thank you so much for this video !!
Thank you bruh this will save me so much time
Thank you for the informative video Sir. Im learning a lot.
Hi good video thanks . Do you have video on ohm and watts law transposition combine
Great video. You made it easy to understand.
Muito boa essa ferramenta! Parabéns pelo vídeo.
Excelente video, muy claro, buena didactica, !gracias!
Enviado desde Montevideo, Uruguay
thanks for a very helpful tutorial and meaningful video.
Hi, I like your video. Thanks
@3:51 correction: 60 degree. Not 90.
before u get yr foot off the bender put a level on it.... front to back and it will be a true 90° but keep in mind the ground has to be level also
I have never bent or installed conduit and today was the first time I tried. I measured a 4 bend saddle for a junction box that was very close to the wall.

Awesome demo, very helpful. Let's bend something now
thanks Sam do you have all lessens about bending here ? I just lent 90 ,need to learn offset ,back to back and saddle
you teach great :)
great stuff thanks a lot plz put more
Thank You it’s well explained

Great video, thanks for the info.
can you tell me measurements for a 14" stub and 16" tail
Thanks, dude - really helpful. I'll mark the gain on the bender I got - too bad it's not pre-marked!
Pencil is better for exposed pipe.very good instructional video!
cool video sir ! thank you

each bender will have a gain. the half inch bend in this video has a 2.5" gain.
hope that helps.
+Jordan Richey don't get confused because both measurements share the same radius. you didn't actually lengthen the pipe.

I thought the star was also the center of a 45 degree bend. And the notch was the thirty Center
hi Sam, i need buy two of these , one to 1 polegada and, other or 1 1/4 of polegada. where to buy ? and thank's ... Ps sorry my inglês no is good ok.
+Eletricista dila elctrical supplier where you buy your pipe should sell the benders.
Good job
So we bought 80 in pipe and ended up with 62.5 :))) And if we bend more we gonna get 65?
I think after 45 degrees; you meant 60 degrees, not 90 degrees....
Thanks for the video
THANK YOU VERY MUCH
How ikan get
I notice that you don't use a level when you bend 90's on pipe. I guess that comes with experience. How important is a level with offsets?
excellent explination.
Thank s a lot very nice explanation
Bending toll name ?
Good idea
Good m teacher thanks
thanks sir for this educational video..
I'd grab some white nail polish and paint those numbers and marks so they'd be more visible.
ok. thank you , i'm going to search
thanks man for the teaching bro
Thank you (Jazakumullah)
Oh I'm sorry thanks for the video. It really gave me something to work with. I just got a job so If i cant do this it would be no bueno !!
boru
I did not understand when you said that when you got a 3/4 in conduit you have to take up 4 " and than add 6" to complete the 10" . a ming.... that's only when you want to keep the 10" of stud right? . sorry for my english it
