    I am new as a electrician ( 5 years residential / new homes ) now moving into commercial / industrial electrical . I really appreciate this video . Its not easy having to do a total job/ life change in life at 46 , now 51 . There is a lot to learn .

    Nice work, retired 8 years ago after 30 years in Trade, while I always notice a nice pipe job wherever I go, the only bummer is that for the most part, only Electricians will appreciate it.

      I'm in Fire Suppression work but I enjoyed the fine Craftsmanship. Went to Boces for Electrical back in HS though. Looking to refresh some skills but this was beyond what was taught. Great demonstration.

      I'm an electrician and my father is a retired plumber. It usually takes an extra 10 minutes to get through an open building because we are walking around looking at the work.

    This is awesome. I'm an apprentice electrician new to commercial field where EMT is used a lot more than in residential so when it comes to EMT I might as well be a first year. This video is clear and easy to follow thanks man.

    This is simply beautiful. It amazes me that they only pushing college and they would never encourage kids to develop a skill. No matter who you are in life, no matter how rich you are- you will always need an electrician, plumber, mechanic, iron worker, welder the list goes on and on.

    • @JiggyC
      @JiggyC 8 ปีที่แล้ว +9

      khariinaction it's because colleges probabaly make more money from 4 year degrees .

    • @Sovek86
      @Sovek86 8 ปีที่แล้ว +10

      That REALLY depends on the degree. Girl called into Dave Ramsey with $120K in student loan debt, barely makes over 20K a year. I beat that with 3 months experience in Electrical contract work.

      @khariinaction 8 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      Jiggy C. So true. I have a kid and I am going to encourage him to get into the trade. Yes he is going to learn how to read and of course learn his mathematics well. Including all the necessary subjects that he will have to learn. However I am going to take the supposed "college" savings and invest it in his training of either being a plumber, welder, electrician, AV installer, carpenter etc

    • @crsaal
      @crsaal 7 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      First off I agree that no matter what, we will always need more people in the trade in the future. Rather focus a child in a trade, find out what makes them tick, what are they passionate about. That way, whether it be an electrician or a programmer they will give it their 110%.
      *Also, college and learning a trade goes hand in hand. High school can teach you fundamentals but in order to not kill someone there is quite a bit of knowledge / studying that comes into play.
      In my opinion, it all falls under "Continuous Education" and the most important factor is, is it something you enjoy.

    Nice.
    It has been 40 years since I ran conduit, and then I had a hydraulic Greenlee bender. I was also using rigid pipe. Never used a hickey much at all. Remembered there were formulas but not how to apply them. Never knew about the star and the notch on the hand bender.
    ...and of course all the nomenclature has long left my vocabulary.
    Thanks.

    I do some electric in oil burner installations, and gas as well, a piece of conduit here and there is all I typically do, service switch, co2 detector with 2x4 boxes, boiler work I get to wall mount conduit with hardware's of all sorts, into concrete with hammer drills, I learned nice and neat, skills as a kid, each and every job better than yesterdays, always evolve and learn , strive to do better than the last job. alwayspeople in the know want to hire guys like in this video, that's gorgeous work, that's what I try for each and every job, a great job looks artistic naturally.

    Beautiful work. Was 9” on the 2nd conduit just an arbitrary measurement to start the offsets from?

  • @shanep3927
    @shanep3927 5 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    I don't know if people realize how hard it is to make these bends match as perfect as he did and as easy as it looks. Ive been in the trade for 13 years, started when I was 18 as a green ass helper that couldn't use a screwdriver (needless to say I've came a long way.) I still to this day get excited when I line up bends perfect the first time without having to tweek them a little. Awesome work man, loved the video!!

    • @anthonydanna1701
      @anthonydanna1701 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      Late, but it seems the 9" is the distance of the second pipe to the unistrut. He has a 2" spacing between pipes, so each progressive pipe (moving away from the unistrut) needs to be kicked 2" higher, 2" further back on the pipe.

    Very very nice work Stan. Practice makes conduit work nearly perfect. I did not get that much practice as a maintenance electrician and we had very little conduit on submarine which is where I learned all about the work after school.
    No doubt EMT is nice stuff.

    • @liamwelsh5565
      @liamwelsh5565 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      I think the 9 inches is the distance from the rack to the 90 bend. The first pipe was lined up with the 90 so it didn't need the kick/offset. The rest did need it and it started at 9 inches and went up by 2 inches for each pipe since they were spaced 2 inches apart. Hope this helps.

  • @jtaylor51
    @jtaylor51 5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    How did you come up with 9 inches for your second conduit, and then stagger every 2 inches from there. I understand why you staggered, but why did you move back 9 inches for the first kick?

    Is there any reason you didn't have the kicks going vertical instead of horizontal? And the 9" you said from #1 conduit to the first support. Is that the first rack up top? Thank you, much appreciated.

    • @ShadonHKW
      @ShadonHKW  6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Either would have worked, it was 9" from the first pipe to the first horiz rack, so that's where the first 9" came from.

      @happloc565 8 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      Nico 9 inches is distace between the first kic and the first strut he used to support the conduit seen at the end of the video, as for the 2 inch staggers he uses those because he has a space of 2 inches between each conduit. as the number of pipes grow so does the measurment on ghe kic in equal incriments to the space between the pipes

    In the UK and australia our conduit ends are always threaded which becomes a pain when trying to screw a 4 meter piece on with a few 90s and off sets in. I prefer your lock nut version. Our conduits seems a bit more of a thicker guage too. What do you guys do when you need to bend 1.25 inch pipe ? (32mm here) use a freestanding hilmore ?

    I’ve done a lot of pipe work in the last two years. Over that time I’ve come up with my own methods for jumps( bunny hops) sets and the general layout of looking pleasing to the eye and Think it’s of a high standard. Just wondering isn’t the emt a lighter gauge pipe than here in Ireland and the up?

    why did he start at 9 inches first? where did he get that number from? i get the 2 inch increments but why choose 9 as the number?

    • @ShadonHKW
      @ShadonHKW  9 วันที่ผ่านมา

      9 inch was the distance from the first pipe to the unistrut

    Is there a reason for the 2 inches between all the kicks ?

    You just saved me some time. I would use a level and not the benders flat foot. Don't know why I didn't think of it. 16 years in the trade. Running thousands of feet of 3/4 right now. Will try 2maro

    Shadon HKW do you like the Aluminum or Iron Ideal benders better? I'm trying to decide which to get.

    • @ShadonHKW
      @ShadonHKW  7 ปีที่แล้ว

      The cast iron heads are more robust, I have bent the alu ones just by dropping them, but we dont baby our tools.

      Shadon HKW Thanks! Cast Iron it is!

    Right on man mad respect... Just sitting here studying the electrical field on a Friday night. Next go unistrut crazy. Maybe some unique conditions and preferences from electricians.

    Can you explain the 9" measurement you started with

      @gregberban9273 6 ปีที่แล้ว

      That's just a starting number that worked out at the top of the rack .

    Thanks for the video. So much of this seems really difficult until it is explained.
    Shouldn't you be wearing a fall harness while using the elevated work platform?

    work looks gr8 just asking a question if i have a stub 90 and i need to attach to another1/2 emt at 12 inch height how would i do the math to get my offset

    • @dudemynameisgio
      @dudemynameisgio 6 ปีที่แล้ว

      leo ybarra using a 30/30 bend the constant multiplier is x2 so for 12" offset its 24" spacing between your bends (at 30°)

  • @JPerez-ld6nb
    @JPerez-ld6nb 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    This might sound dumb but I have to ask since I’m just starting and know little about this.
    1. How do you come up with the first measurement of 9”? Do you have to measure from one point?
    2. When you are doing your kicks. For example 2”, 4”, 6”, 8”, 12”, 14”, 16” do you use the bottom of the pipe or the top of the pipe to get your measurement?

    • @ShadonHKW
      @ShadonHKW  6 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      9" was the distance from the 1st pipe to the unistrut, I measure to the back of the pipe.

    Where did you get 9 inches for the first kick

    How did you measure those kicks ? The conduit was off the floor and you measure to the top of the conduit.
