i’m not a tradesman, im in sales and sometimes i sell equipment that needs some plumbing, usually pvc but sometimes SS tubing. I never learned how to measure and bend correctly, this has solved that problem! thank you so much!
U make this stuff easy to understand thank you I went to school for it but conduit bending was hardest for me to understand just bc of the measurements equation but I’m good at math it’s just knowing where to make your measurements and how much to take off or multiply by like the backends of 90s new subscriber today !! Thanks for the helpful vids
the reason his bend was underbent... He wanted to hit the center of the box? then measure from the center of the first one. He measured from the outside right of the pipe, but the bender is working with the LEFT side of the pipe when its said and done, due to his use of the right side of the pipe. so you always want to measure from the center of the knock out to the center of the knock out that youre going for.
THANKS A TOOOOOOOON for bringing this up. We are actually going to start making "Tool Tips" where we cover tools. This is 100% because of this comment Esteban! Thank you!!!
Im currently going to trade school and learning conduit bending. How often do you use boxsets in the field because i noticed you didnt use any here. Thank You
Haha almost never. I love using minis which help you keep the conduit centered and straight and eliminate the need for the box offset. I know that there is a time and place for everything so se do have a video up on box offsets. Keep pushing to learn and grow. You’re investing in yourself my friend ❤️
The problem with air bending is that it's very hard to match bends on parallel runs. It's better to floor bend them. Great video, with explanation. Can you do a video for floor bending?
TBH I hate floor bending, the second bend (if not done on a elevated platform) will mess up the first bend. When you "air bend" be sure to hold the conduit as close to the bender as you can. That will help with consistency. ps. I will do a floor bending video and show what I mean. Thanks a ton for the follow and comment.
I need to bend a 30 degree offset in a stairwell but at the bottom it needs to drop roughly 6 inches under the landing of the floor above. Any suggestions on how to make that look good ?
The only time I would ever say "shrink" and "easy" together is in a ice bath 😂🤦🏻♂TBH the only time I factor in shrink is on saddles. Good point though and you are more advanced than most.
You made the right example but you were kind of wrong because you are bending by using measurements from boxes at the top and center of the stud, which I’m pretty sure you know that boxes don’t go on top of the stud it goes inside because then it would be exposed once it gets sheetrocked so that means that offset should of been at least 1 to 3 inches shorter depending on what knockout you are connecting to in each box, great example though I’m pretty sure the smart ones get the point lmao, but keep doing what you are doing I’m pretty sure it helps a lot of people
Thanks for being gnarly and not arrogant like 90% of tradesmen 🤙
Dope vid bro. This is probably the hardest part of the electrical trade for me.
Mario... the only way to get go is to run 1000000000 foot of conduit :) It takes time, don't be too hard on yourself. Thanks for follow along.
You’re teaching style is amazing!
That’s is extremely nice for you to say…. Most of the time I feel like a complete idiot😂❤

You’re a genius bro, thank you so much. Keep making more conduit videos
Too kind of a compliment but I’ll take it. What got you into the trade?
Thanks! Easy to understand! Hope this channel gets bigger!
Thanks so much! To see it grow I need to publish more consistently for sure, but any shares by you would be massive
My man with the grounding tails on deck👍⚡
Installing them before the mud ring or drywall makes it so much easier… question do you know the code for when you have to install them?
You’re a goat for this brotha
Let’s be honest… the true Goat is The one and only Lebron James aka King James aka MJ fans beware😂 Appreciate the Support❤❤❤
Thanks for the video. I'm always looking to learn and improve myself
Thanks Adam. Is there something you would love for us to go over?
Need 5 minutes videos as refresher on a job sight. Anything longer than that we might as well makeout
Hey, I’m studying electrician and this help me too much, thank you man.
And I’m learning English at the same time XD.
Appreciate the help !
I'll always sub to a new Electricians channel. Subbed and Liked
Thanks and much appreciated!
Thanks Josh

so you always want to measure from the center of the knock out to the center of the knock out that youre going for.
That sharpie trick is gangsta, blew my mind no bull g shit bro
Good job 👏 👍
Thank you 👍
Nice video.
Appreciate It
Make a video on the tape measures
THANKS A TOOOOOOOON for bringing this up. We are actually going to start making "Tool Tips" where we cover tools. This is 100% because of this comment Esteban! Thank you!!!
You should do a video on deep offsets
Very nice bro!!
Thanks, the peeps at intrepid creative make us look way smarter than we really are...
I think you ought to try art class again !
Hi, I like your video. Thanks
Great job
Nice, so you measure offsets from center to center?

Just takes time. I prefer to air bend so I'm not bending over all day.
TBH I hate floor bending, the second bend (if not done on a elevated platform) will mess up the first bend. When you "air bend" be sure to hold the conduit as close to the bender as you can.

@@danielhady3021 🔥🔥🔥
It's called an hand bender
Will the equation be the same for each size conduit ; 11/2 ;1;3/4; 1/2
Using cm or mm would be ridiculously easier for measuring?
Good video
What about the box offset?
Very small offset.... TBH I usually use Minis instead of one hole straps so I almost never need a box offset. We will cover it though. Thanks!
I need to bend a 30 degree offset in a stairwell but at the bottom it needs to drop roughly 6 inches under the landing of the floor above. Any suggestions on how to make that look good ?
Hey I’m still new to this but aren’t you suppose the measure the offset depth and multiply it with the multiplier
Yeah…. For a 30 degree offset measure the distance and multiple it by 2. For a 5” 30 degree offset the marks need to be 10” apart. 5x2=10
Awesome
It's easier if you just calculate the shrink and pre cut the conduit to length.
The only time I would ever say "shrink" and "easy" together is in a ice bath 😂🤦🏻♂TBH the only time I factor in shrink is on saddles. Good point though and you are more advanced than most.
why did you subtract 2 inches?
I started the bend 2 inches front be end of the conduit… the real question is “why so sweaty?”
You made the right example but you were kind of wrong because you are bending by using measurements from boxes at the top and center of the stud, which I’m pretty sure you know that boxes don’t go on top of the stud it goes inside because then it would be exposed once it gets sheetrocked so that means that offset should of been at least 1 to 3 inches shorter depending on what knockout you are connecting to in each box, great example though I’m pretty sure the smart ones get the point lmao, but keep doing what you are doing I’m pretty sure it helps a lot of people
Unless it’s an opened wall but I doubt it usually walls are covered
I thought it was a 1/4 inch x offset depth
This guy is great! The Music background sucks
How to knew that's the bend you need is 30deg
A 30 can get you almost everywhere on a construction site. Make it your go to.
Or instead of center to center measurements, do outside of knockout to inside of knockout 🤷♂️
lower the background music a little.
"Founder and master" don't hurt your shoulder patting yourself on the back
I would’ve said “entrepreneur and electrician,” but I can’t spell those words without auto correct.
Josh - Fire your video editor. Not just for the awful intro music, but for not editing out the entire video
Bro. You're an 1/8 away from 15" lol
