Learning how to use an EMT bender for a DIY air conditioner install of the suction side. Best, most complete, back to back 90 bend explanation I found!
thanks for the tutoring. what if you are using some other bender that doesn't have the star mark on the bender, how do you measure the take-off mark of the 2nd 90?
Faithful Noel Any and all EMT benders should have the Star point marked on it. It is just a little further behind the notch point used for saddle bends.
Sam Maltese what about a ratchet bender, like a sidewinder for example. when using rigid conduit, it is common to use a ratchet bender. I don't see any marks for back to back 90s.
EVERYONE makes a U shape...NEVER the "S" shape, which means the one 90 is facing the ground. Also, lets say one 90 has to have a Kick on it to make the box offset. how do you measure for that?
+David P Yes, but you will need a 1" EMT bender. Each bender has a different different take up( stub length). The 1" bender will have an 8" stub length compared to 5" for the 1/2 bender.The technique of bending does change just the stub length.

Thank you for taking the time to make a video to show us
Thanks Sam for posting this - u r a great teacher
I have craft certifications today and this helped to jog my memory. Thanks!
Great video, to the point and very well explained. Thanks
Once again, a very well done video. Thanks Sam.
This was super helpful. Thanks!
Very well done 💪🏾💯 .. that back to back 90 was killing me😂😂
Fantastic presentation.
Keep up the great work.
Thank you.
Thanks Sam, Well done.
Thank's for this
Well done! Thank you.
Great video. Thanks.
Thank you .
I understand that ⚓
Haha 2:11 “3, 2, 1”
is it possible to use EMT bender to bend stainless steel tube's; SS 316 spec's,,. And can you use conduit measurement on tube bending?

Needed to a very simple back to back for non-electrical work. Thank you for saving me time and Money.
I thought u were gonna pre calculate the bend including the the gain
so where's the solving

is this the same idea on a 1 inch EMT?
+David P Yes,

So if you accidentally do a dog leg or measure wrong on a back to back 90, anyway to use the bender to straighten the EMT for a second try?
NOPE.
Maybe but most of the time especially if it's going to be hidden you can always cut the pipe and use a coupling
Only for EMT benders without one you show nothing where's the math
