I’m a journeyman electrician and haven’t bent pipe since I was a second year and needed a quick refresher this video helped a lot thank you.
Awesome glad to hear that this helped you ☺
I’m a second year and haven’t had much experience with it. What other kind of work have you been doing that you didn’t need to bend conduit? Do you have you apprentice do it? I’m afraid I’ll get ask to do all kinds of bends and not be able to do them so I bought some benders to practice, but conduit is way up in price.
Residential you don't use much conduit if any. Yeah conduit is up but if you skip your coffee at the local gas station every morning then by the end of the week you can buy a stick or two of conduit.
@@gustavocasas8654 most of my apprenticeship was industrial and used teck cable over conduit. Most jobs I was on we seldom used pipe and I was just never around it. Recently move been doing commercial and have had to bend a lot of pipe. Just learn a method and stick to it and eventually you’ll get the hang of it.
I started learning my second year haha, I mean knew 90s but I didn't really dedicate my efforts to bending.
1st year apprentice. This really helped compared to the books. Simple explanation and perfect demonstration.
Awesome keep up the good work.
I had to bend an offset to get around a 2x8 to feed my EVSE in my garage. This training was perfect. Thank you.
So glad this helped. I appreciate your comment and watching
Thanks for the instructions. Complete beginner at bending EMT and I was able to do everything I needed for a non-electrical project. This is for a mobile arm support used in occupational therapy. Several bends at wonky angles creating intentional dog legs and it came out perfect. Thanks!
Awesome and your so welcome. I appreciate you watching and commenting ☺
I just stumbled on this video. Needed a 1'' 1/ 2 offset for a t-stat and this method worked out perfectly. Thanks!
Awesome so glad that this helped. Thanks for watching and commenting ☺
Thank you. I have not touched pipe in five years and this was a good refresher
My pleasure thanks for watching and commenting ☺
and the longer the run, the harder it is to pull your wire through 4 90's. I agree, don't go with a full 360 in your run between boxes, I've heard a few electricians that have done it for a while say the same thing about using the 30 degree angle; it's easy to calculate and it definitely makes pulling wire more efficient, and it's all about efficiency! I'm also an IBEW member of the local 1141 in Oklahoma city. I'm a QC commercial Journeyman electrician. I was glad to become a member in March 26th of 2019. I'm glad I joined! We have a big sign in one of our halls that says "right to work is a ripoff". It really is; because it does not look out for the worker! Plus you have people negotiating wages and benefits for you!
Definitely that right to work sucks.. I never knew how much until I joined the union in 2012. Thanks for the comment and watching ☺
Thanks man. Did my cousins barn today. Going to knock out some offsets tomorrow. Great video. Can’t wait to do some quality bends.
Hell yeah man good luck and I appreciate your watching and commenting
Thank you!!!
You just saved my day I was having trouble because of lack of equipment.
Glad that it helped. ☺ Have a great day
Dude, this video got me dialed in on bending emt. Fantastic work. Keep it up!
Awesome glad to hear that this helped you. Thanks for the comment and watching ☺
This is most helpful after 4 + years off from my practice. I am rusty to say the least. One thing as a follow-up: I was trained to always use pencil to mark conduit on the premise that if somewhere down the road someone paints the conduit, a marker will bleed through whereas pencil won't. That being said, if future painting isn't an issue, and having quite visible black marks isn't either, I don't see why it hurts to use the marker. Thank you again; nicely done tutorial. . .
Agreed, and I appreciate your comment and watching ☺
Thanks for the class, my friend, I just found it a little quick, I tried to watch the video slower but I couldn't, but the video was great. Congratulations !!!
Thank you I appreciate your kind words..have a great day

I watch these videos, not because I want to do these things myself, but so I know when to call you!..lol! Good stuff brother!
😂 😂 😂 Anytime man plus it would give me a chance to ride with a pro rider.. Seriously though anytime
It would be better if you showed how far is that obtraction from the pipe you are connecting too. Thanks.
Also, I’ve enjoyed your other electrical lessons. Thanks!
It's my pleasure. Thank you for commenting and watching. Have a great day ☺

ive struggled with understanding this concept for the longest ! thanks so much !
Always my pleasure ☺
This is my first time watching your videos I'm just getting into this pipe bending conduit bending and you have been very very helpful please send the Coast Guard chart video please
Thanks for the comment and watching here is the video th-cam.com/video/yz81Ya9kXek/w-d-xo.html
Great video. Thanks for taking ur time to explain it patiently. I worked on conduit with my ex-fiancés father. The guy was a total asshole and control freak. I learned more from you in this 6 min video than working with that psycho.
I have been there and I know exactly how you felt...I appreciate you watching and glad that I could help..
Thank you so much for your videos. I’m glad I subscribed.
I am also glad that you subscribed. Thanks for watching and commenting ☺
Excellent video! Great information and presentation.
I'd love to see a video explaining how you layout conduit before any bending even takes place.
I'm about to take my first stab at conduit while wiring up my pole barn.
Do you mount all the boxes first and then run the emt or what?
My biggest concern is positioning the emt in the proper order to avoid having to overlap other conduits unnecessarily.
Any help you can offer in that area would be greatly appreciated.
So it honestly depends if I mount the box first I would say no do it as you take the conduit into the box. As far as laying it out each job is different for sure. I'd love to do a video like your mentioning but I don't run conduit alot anymore unfortunately.
Thank you. GOD BLESS THE FAMILY 👪 24. 7💪
My pleasure thanks for watching and commenting ☺
Simply Amazing!!
Ridged conduit 3/4 and 1-inch gal with the threading machine, pony, vice, ban saw, 3 piece coupling. Chicago bender and sidewinder. More importantly, making everything level after the bend was too much or too little. Spinning the conduit on from hard to reach spots.
I'm assuming that this is ideas that you would like to see?
Salutes you from Edmonton Alberta Canada 🇨🇦 thanks for video
Always my pleasure ☺
Thank you, I don't speak English but thanks to you I understood
Awesome thanks for watching and glad to hear that this helped you

Thanks and you definitely have it

Great vid🤙
Thanks man. Good stuff
My pleasure thanks for watching and commenting ☺
Awesome, Thank you.
Although you might not have an issue with sharpie, it just looks poor on exposed conduit. Pencil can get rubbed off and just delivers a better product for the client. I love this guide though and thanks for taking the time out of your life to make this.
My pleasure thanks for watching and commenting ☺
I agree with Ron C and also you are nice youtuber continue it you are awesome.
Thank you I appreciate it
I'm a journeyman electrician and have never bent pipe but got a new job in commercial which I've never done or wanted to do. And I'm learning from this video as I type this lol
Awesome my friend good luck it's pretty rewarding once you get the hang of it.
@Mountaineer Outdoors just got an email from an underground mine I applied for haha may not be here long enough to get good.
Good money but dangerous watch your back.
@Mountaineer Outdoors Dangerous Heavy Industrial stuff is pretty much all I've done for a long time, hence why I never learned pipe. I even took 2 years off and conducted trains for CNRail. A fair amount of people died doing that job that started around my time frame. But Thanks.
Great video, really helped me out, thanks
Awesome so glad to hear that.. Have a great day ☺
Thank you, bending tuning is a very challenging task I always get confused
Take your time and before you know it it will be like riding a bike.
@@MountaineerOutdoors I really hope so
It will come to you don't rush it and listen to everyone's advice then find your own rhythm. That's what I did.
Nice video - not overly complicated 👍🏽
If you want to take it a step further, you would also need to consider how far away the obstruction is from your last coupling/connector, and account for it + shrinkage in your first line, before making your second line at double the obstruction’s height.
But again, great video
Exactly thank you for your comment and watching
Thanks for the refresher
My pleasure thanks for watching and commenting ☺

Thank you man! So helpful.

Excellent video my friend.. thanks. 👍👍
My pleasure thanks for watching and commenting ☺
how do I know where to make my first mark if i know my offset (for example) is 8 inches tall and I want to use a 45 degree bend?
awesome. thank you. it works.
My pleasure thanks for watching and commenting ☺
Your good, thanks. I think that you just made me better...
I appreciate it...thats great to hear...I will be releasing alot more electrical videos very soon so watch for them. I appreciate you commenting and watching
Thanks budy very helpful!
My pleasure thanks for watching and commenting ☺
What I wanna know is how to measure conduit from point a to b. How much do you subtract from the connector or cupling
Gracias!! So helpful!!
Your welcome, I appreciate your comment and watching ☺
Very helpful thank you

Good for beginners very helpful👍👍

Thanks for the video!
Definitely my pleasure thanks for watching and commenting ☺
I got half-inch conduit coming off my shop lights on my ceiling to my back wall going to 90 on that back wall and dropping down into my breaker box how can I bend another run to go underneath that 90 on my back wall to drop down into my breaker box side-by-side? And just so you know these are all hung buy hangers off the ceiling
That was a good video thanks
My pleasure thanks for watching and commenting ☺
I like the way you teach that
Thank you I appreciate it alot ☺
Easy! Thank You!
My pleasure thanks for watching and commenting ☺
Thank you 🙏🙏🙏
Seems like it will be kind of tight to put a coupling right there. Maybe make a video showing how to bend an offset that passes the obstruction so that we can easily put a coupling on it. Great easy video
Great idea I appreciate you watching and commenting ☺
Straight and to the point love it !
I appreciate it.. Have a great day ☺
I didn't see in other videos why you put the first mark on 3 in, can you please tell me? I have a lot of issues with offsets & this helped A LOT. Thanks!
No real reason, it just keeps everything uniform and if you have to shorten anything up you can. Glad to hear that this helped you out. Thanks for the comment and watching ☺
Could you do a pipe bend from a disconnect to the main service panel doing the offset bend
I unfortunately won't be able to. If you are looking for back to back bends I have a video on that.
Wow this is a very good video!
Thank you I appreciate it ☺
should we plus shrink?
Thanks for getting right to it
How and when do you start ‘seeing’ the conduit run? I have a few conduit runs I have to make at work and I constantly second guess myself. Thanks for the help
My thing is this.. It comes easy for some, for me it didn't. So I just jumped in both feet slammed some up and asked for criticism. Knowing that no matter what someone would have something to say. Good or bad I listened and didn't get mad, took what was said and used it on my next runs. Eventually I had alot of information stored and it became easier and easier. Main thing is this. Everyone does it different and there is several ways to get it done. Make it neat and as long as it gets from one end to the other and your happy with it, then it will work. Someone will always critique your work but don't sweat it.. Listen and learn
Hi, I like your video. Thanks
Thanks ☺
To really know, you must teach. Thank you.
Always my pleasure ☺
How would one calculate where to place the marks if the opposite end from the bends is already at a fixed distance (measuring from the previous coupling)?
Im not exactly sure what your asking, but basically the same way I did it here in the video if this doesnt answer your question please let me know
Good video thank you
My pleasure thanks for watching and commenting ☺
Badass explain good 👍🏼
I appreciate that comment. Thanks for watching ☺
Exelent video!
Thank you ☺
Thanks buddy
Great video brother
I appreciate it alot. Thanks for the comment and watching ☺
@@MountaineerOutdoors I don’t bend conduit everyday so it’s not natural but every-time I need an offset I come to this video thank you for your time & teaching
That's awesome. It's always here. Thanks for watching and commenting
I recently installed an outlet on a concrete wall and messed up the measurement to the outlet (short) because I didn’t calculate the 90 degree bend correctly. Would you make a video for that? I would appreciate it.
I absolutely will that is on my list of videos to make.
This video was amazing thank you BUT...
What if my bend is open or closed? How do I fix it?
There is a video coming out about this in the next few weeks watch for it.
What if you have an object between two boxes? Would you mark more towards the middle of the pipe?
Not sure exactly what you mean... You might need a 3 point saddle
Is that for 3/4 too?
