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!
Once again, a very well done video. Thanks Sam.
Very well done 💪🏾💯 .. that back to back 90 was killing me😂😂
This was super helpful. Thanks!
Great video, to the point and very well explained. Thanks
Fantastic presentation.
Keep up the great work.
Thanks Sam, Well done.
Thank you.
Great video. Thanks.
Well done! Thank you.
Thank you .
I understand that ⚓
Thank's for this
Needed to a very simple back to back for non-electrical work. Thank you for saving me time and Money.

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.
so where's the solving
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?
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?
I thought u were gonna pre calculate the bend including the the gain
Haha 2:11 “3, 2, 1”
is this the same idea on a 1 inch EMT?
+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.
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
