I think it's time I bought myself a bender and some stocks n dies and got practicing! It's been over 15 years since I've touched any metal conduit and I'll be royally knackered if I pull a metal conduit job! :D Excellent video! Not much grabs my attention these days but you certainly peaked my interest so thanks for that! Your teaching methods are solid and easy to follow for us older sparks as well as the youngsters so keep it up!! Well done pal.
Conduit threads are 1.5mm pitch, so 10 full turns will give you 15mm of threaded section. Just waiting for Milwaukee to produce the metric dies for their battery powered pipe threader, then you'll be all set.
I'm a electrician in the US, I bend miles of conduit. Definitely interesting how much different we do it over here, the closest thing we have to that bender is called a Chicago bender. Good stuff.
@@jacktissington Depends on what type of conduit is being used. EMT is thinner and easier to bend. Rigid is harder to bend it's thicker, now try to bend 1" rigid with a hand bender.
Really loved this video, very helpful, I work in the NHS and we have a lot of tube runs, but never really had to work with it for new installations, but this was so interesting. Thank you for the video can't wait for the tube series
Hey guys to bend a 90 with that bender its to time consuming Here in the states we bend rigid 1/2”. 3/4”. 1” with a hand bender It seems a lot faster with a hand bender and a milwaukee cordless threader. Nice work !
@@oDubnobasswithmyhead EMT, is thinnest wall, rigid metal and IMC intermediate metal conduit is thicker walled. American hand benders can bend rigid or IMC up to 1” and EMT UP to 1-1/4” EMT.
My grandad would tell me - when your threading the tube and your un-threading the die to clear it after so many turns, you should hear and feel a little 'snap'. That's the swarth snapping off the tube and your good to carry on threading.
Hey great video loved the pen in the tube ! Iv bent a lot of tube Hydralic tube and also mailable iron for air installation and use very similar methods couple of things I’ll list below you may find useful • iv actually cut a 150mm length of tube long ways through 1 wall with a 1mm slitting disk and “clipped” it onto my 150mm engineers square to make a dedicated square for 90s ( the slit tube can be pressed onto the square in a vice ) • number of turns for threading : any thread is called out either in “threads per inch” for imperial like bsp or in a metric pitch for metric sizes. e.g. a 10tpi thread turned 10 times will give 1” of thread length or turned 5 times will give 1/2 an inch of thread e.g. a 2mm pitch turned 10 times will give 20mm of thread length or turned 20 times will give 40mm of thread length. I noticed in the video you seemed to be counting 1/2 turns this would need to obviously be taken into account Hope 1or both of these things helps God save the king 🇬🇧🏴 “
If you hate threading the conduit, have you considered using the conlock fittings? They save so much time and not only speed up the job but look ok to.
Nice Colab. Two of the nicest fellas in the industry 👍🏻 As others have said would some some steel conduit tutorials, don’t think I’ve done steel tube in about 6/7 years!! 🤣
Did my L2 last year and no-one ever mentioned those turn counts to get precision length of thread! Genius. I'm a migrant from OY channel but now subscribed for more content:)
I like doing conduit as well as I think it always looks really tidy and professional once it’s installed I just don’t like doing it under time pressure
My best part was Mikey spreading Bessie out 👀 😂😂 that’s a sick plant room, every trade has clearly took there time to get it mint. Can’t believe Bessys first outing and most were straight drops 😂 class video once again 👏
Greetings from America USA I am a very frequent follower of your videos I do this work too but I observe that it is very complicated to do this type of folds manually as you do here in America you did them in a less complicated way greetings but you do an excellent job very professional
Very informative video like how have power hacksaw for cutting instead of grinder. Place I work uses only grinders for cutting which I think is very messy for indoor work perhaps it would be good investment get one them saws.
wow, the conduit in the UK is so shiny. I do threaded conduit here in Canada and the US (rigid conduit, or IMC, whatever one chooses to call it) and it's always dull galvanized. that stuff is so shiny it looks chromed lol, looks way more attractive than the stuff here.
You can put the non measured side in the bender first you just reduce your measurement my 2.5x the width of the tube .. so 20mm tube reduce the measurement by 50mm
I’ve just bought this bender , 20mm no problem’s but find the new teeth don’t get hold on 25mm with the extra bit of force needed to turn the die. Either getting scratched from turning or squashing it and can’t get the happy medium. How did you find it with 25mm? I was using new dies and cutting paste
Really pleased I discovered your channel. Awesome find. Another great craftsman who cares and has pride in his work. Would like to see some camera stabilisation, if not, more static shooting - Blair Witch style is heavy to watch. Keep up the good work. 👍🏻
Bit of knowledge for you....a 20mm thread is a 1.5pitch on conduit. So every full revolution you do is 1.5mm long. Your doing 20 half turns/10 full turns which will give you 15mm of thread. Like you say, simple if you know the maths
Yeah liked the video. I still talk imperial and was shown the art of tubing by the old man. He always said when you can bend to what you're looking at and ditch the maths. Tubing is a different game. Also nice bender but if you get a chance, have a go at block bending. Also if your slightly out boot near the bend and ease it out by hand. Don't take this I'm telling you to suck eggs but maybe some methods to help you out, may not. 3 threads out the back of the dies for couplers, turn the handles round if threading near a bend. Also another tip, grease the end and pull dies down the tube, will give you grease on the 1st rotation. Good video, happy tubing
Fred= Threads in his neighborhood obviously. Kind of a waste of time just to make a 90 degree bend. Maybe that’s another one of those Fred/ thread things lol. FYI they make stops for hand benders they work better and don’t take up as much space ….fred
Cory was very quiet in this video. Bessy seems to be a partner you need to get to know better.I think a flat cleared work area within the building might have serverd you better, I hate when tools are droped in the dirt. You need to reem conduit after threading or cutting first day apprentice rule .Stick your finger in there and check. You need to come at the apparatus in a way that best suited your dominant hand e.g . left of right handed.You were crossing over your self trying to cut your piece, You were doing a lot of bending over in your preference to bending down. Talk to Cory about bad backs . The conduit sounded as if it was not ridgid. Do you have hand benders in the U,K, The amount of bending you were doing could have been done by one guy in a morning. Do not say there is no money it conduit. A skilled craftsman can and does always work.KNOW your tools just dont show your tools . Preparation is everything . Do you have workcarts or trollys to keep your tools and work together !0.00 o ckock starts we dont need to know about and all the other waffle. And another thing pipe needs to be supported . No free floating danglers. A bit more editing before you put stuff up on line. This is a great industry world wide . always support the best skills possible. Good pipe work sells work. I have been training apprentices for a long time ther is nothing here I would not say to them.We put our work beside all the other trades . Be Proud of the Trade your in.
As a retired plumber who used these type of benders for years before the advent of handi benders I’ve never seen such faffing around just to bend a piece of pipe. Did all the conduit bending for my electrician son when he wired my garage.
Loved working with you bro!!!! 😎 look forwards to next time!
A NEW BEGINNING 👍👍 USE CONLOCK IN FUTURE WAY EASIER AND FASTER . Bet u earned 1 weeks wages for this 1/2 day job .. ENJOY NORWAY 🇳🇴
Flirting
You're an absolute fountain of knowledge, appreciate everything you do for the electrical community mate 👍 keep up the good work

Yup. They need a triple nickel...
The wall thickness is a lot more than the US stuff and that's why we need a bender

If it was on another channel it would have been fitted out with kopex 😂
I wonder who that could be 😂
Bundy10,?
That 20 turns tip is golden 👍
With the "pen trick". I use a pg gland in the coupler to hold the marker/pencil.
When measuring for a bend on the conduit, would you have to take in to account the type of saddles you use?
loving the loadout merch. just ordered myself a new hoody for work. nice simple design which i like.
I'm not sure if you care but, the thread is m20x1.5 so is 1.5mm a full turn. 20 half turns is about right once you've got it to bite.
Thank you! I never knew how to read that until now
Love these galv tube tutorials because I've never really touched it so it definitely helps massively
I want to get into this. I would use some kind of oil. Maybe ballistol.

Are they the ideal benders?

Great vid as usual. A great tool to invest in is the Rems Amigo electric pipe threader. It’s a game changer and makes conduit threading effortless.
They are quality.
I ended up using the rems Dies in my Rachet threader instead
Your intro reminds me exactly of Peter Mckinnon's intros and the advice he gave about what a good intro should include.
I thought the same... Sick intro
@@hackwoodelectrical I assume the *whats/phlegm up guys* some of the sparky channels do also copy Peter's intro to talking too.

Great tips fella. On a big Containment job the now and haven't done it in a few years but once you get into again you pick it up fast
Don’t forget to take into account the saddle depth

Why don't you make it easier to thread the conduit by fitting handles to the stocks?
Forgot to ask what’s tip for marking order t centre of holes please too!!??

Where is the Conduit Bender from Mike?
Top video, look forward to the conduit tutorials. As a domestic spark for the last 10years im out of practice 😅

Which size of Milwaukee die heads you use for 20&25mm tubes?
"In Norway, shooting stuff" Ooh, baby seals?
Do the teeth of the vice mark/damage the galv finish? Does it matter?
If the conduit is clamped down nice and tight, cutting with a sharp die and compound doesn't leave any noticable marks.
@@matthewthomas6121 Thanks - never knew who to ask!
as a retired spark,good job.but i never saw you ream out the conduit after you cut it.yogi burrs.
@@residualelectrical bro 😂😂 18v reamer ain't enough!!!
Where’s the bender from Mike?
Would love to see some videos on bridge or bubble sets over a set height please or 2 different bends in same piece please
You can put the non measured side in the bender first you just reduce your measurement my 2.5x the width of the tube .. so 20mm tube reduce the measurement by 50mm

Bending conduit is very kinky now as SWA fills the bill
