Thanks, was always wondering what the multipliers for the smaller saddles were and how to get over small obstructions. There is not a lot of info out there on 15, 30, 15 saddles, most people probably just use strut to get over those smaller obstructions
I wanted to say thanks for all the excellent content Mr. Bill. Any chance a demonstration on a hydraulic bender? As a fellow sparky, I appreciate the great videos!! Long time subscriber by the way.
There used to be a Klein model that had that too, but they discontinued it. It's a mystery. Supposedly the star is center of bend for a 60. I went ahead and measured my own center of bend for a 22.5. For 30...I dunno, it's in there somewhere.
The notch is for the middle bend of a 3pt bend. Star use for 90 degree bends. Use the arrow for everything else. Fairly new to bending myself (1 year) but this is my understanding.
The center notch marks the middle of your bend. It Doesn’t matter which way the bender is facing, since it only marks the center. Offsets, shorter 90s, 4 point saddles, and the outer bends of 3 point saddles use the arrow. Large measurement 90s use the star(large measurement as in over half of the pipe). For the outer bends in a 3 point saddle the front of the bender shoe must face towards the center bend
Hi Bill, is it against code to wire room, for example, with all the receptacles leading to a junction box in the attic? So, basically having the “home run” wire be in the attic junction box and from there, have it distributed to the receptacles in a bedroom. Thank you.

Hi! The 1770 is mostly used in a commercial setting but it is great for residential work as well. I haven't reviewed it yet but I will if I can get my hands on one. I love fine metering equipment like that. Some info for other viewers: Product overview: Fluke 1770 Series Three-Phase Power Quality Analyzers Automatic measurements. More flexibility. Better power quality troubleshooting. Fluke 1770 Series Three-Phase Power Quality Analyzers eliminate the complexities of power quality logging, troubleshooting, and analysis. Engineered to be the faster, easier way to perform power quality studies, the 1770 Series offers automatic measurements, a straightforward user interface and setup, best-in-class specifications, and a simplified reporting platform. The instrument can also be powered directly from the measurement circuit, eliminating the need to find a power outlet or use a lengthy extension cord With the 1770 Series you’ll never miss a critical power quality event-from fast transients up to 8 kV, harmonics up to 30 kHz, dips and swells, as well as the voltage, current, and power measurements that enable you to characterize your electrical system.
@@SparkyChannel Thanks Bill, Yeah it would be interesting to see what your thoughts are on this 1770... If down the road you happen to get your hands on one, to review. That would be awesome.... Thanks for the fast return reply.... Best regards.... Rich 😎🇺🇸
I noticed in your other 3 point saddle video, you used a chart for 45 degree method which is 2.5 multiplier for outer marks, so how come this one you didn’t do that?
Hey Bill, Is there a calculator that gives the totals for bonds. Especially if you stink at math. Where I mess up, is getting the correct number for the 2 outside marks, of the center line. Will a standard calculator do the trick?
Hi! There are apps that you can get on your phone for conduit bending but in my experience they aren't very good. Check out this video: EMT Bending Multipliers for Faster and More Accurate Bends: ua-cam.com/video/wgsiD1XUuA0/v-deo.html
Good morning Bill. I always enjoy watching your tutorials on conduit bending. Have a great weekend……
Good Morning! You have a great weekend as well!
This video accurately shows how to make a Three Point Saddle Bend! Thanks Bill!
Glad it was helpful!

Please do this with the push through method for this bend.
star notch arrow
Oh my Watching your videos are making me smarter everyday… I never tried 15 30 15 star notch arrow… GOT IT 😃
It's a SNAP.
I appreciate the videos. They have been a great help to my skills
Great to hear! Best wishes Kevin!
This guy sounds like he’s related to Scotty Kilmer
Lol
That the mechanic guy right
@@danschuster5187 YES HE REALLY LIKES TOYOTAS AND YELLING!!!
Thanks for this video!
Thanks for your time
No worries!
Great video.
Thank you.
My pleasure, thanks Tommy!
Thank you Sir , it is very helpful
You're most welcome, thanks!

Thanks so much for hanging in there with Sparky Channel! Yes, I will on the look out for that video opportunity.
Good morning..good video sir.from phillipine
Thanks and cheers from San Diego!
Hi. I love your videos. How come green Lee 3/4 bender has different lines for different 3 point saddle middle angles.
I have Ideal and Klein benders and I'm not familiar with the Greenlee.
There used to be a Klein model that had that too, but they discontinued it. It's a mystery. Supposedly the star is center of bend for a 60. I went ahead and measured my own center of bend for a 22.5. For 30...I dunno, it's in there somewhere.
Can you show some of the ways the snake wire or or how to pull wire through conduit And some of the tricks of the trade
👍🏻🍻🍺🦃

Sparky why did you use 1/8 per inch of obstruction the uglys book and my professor taught me it’s 3/16 per inch of obstruction? I want to understand
3/16 is for a 22.5, 45, 22.5
Can someone explain how to know when to use the mark on the bender and when to use the notch. New to bending.
The notch is for the middle bend of a 3pt bend. Star use for 90 degree bends. Use the arrow for everything else. Fairly new to bending myself (1 year) but this is my understanding.

I haven't seen anything in the NEC prohibiting that. Of course the J box in the attic would need to be of sufficient size for all the conductors.
@@SparkyChannel perfect. Thank you.
And needs to be considered accessible
@@lostcause1206 absolutely. I placed it about 2-3’ from the attic entrance. It’s also labeled so that I know which room it belongs.

Hi Bill,
Question for you ?
Did you ever get a chance to review the,
Fluke 1770 Analyzer ? Or is this more Industrial only type of use ?

Does the 30° and the 45° bend for the three point saddle bend the same for a 3/4” bender and a 1” bender? (The multiplayer)
Yes. Same multiplier regardless of pipe size
I noticed in your other 3 point saddle video, you used a chart for 45 degree method which is 2.5 multiplier for outer marks, so how come this one you didn’t do that?
Hes using a 15, 30, 15 degree bend instead of 22.5, 45, 22.5 degree bend thats why

Ur in the wrong trade then...
45 degree or 30 any one prefer one over the other
Always go with the 30's if you can because the wire will run easier. Use 45's when you need the clearance though.
↑ Yep, always use the shallowest angle you can get away with.
The 3.9 x1 comes out to 3.9 how do you get 7/8
.9 = approximately 7/8
