If you bend alot of back to backs on big pipe say 2 inch and larger i watch guys use the deduct and fight to bend it up in the air as it rises up.
When you hit the job and said you could run pipe you better run pipe or you got canned. Great but we never use them because when we started they didnt have that no battery drills no charts and no internet

:thumbsup:Ĭlick to expand.Well gee i hope iam posting in the correct topic section maybe this should be a off topic since its going to be just about conduit which any glue sniffing monkey can install or any sand jockey from Florida. Īdd coupling length to center mark or add distance of spacing racking out or subtract it when racking inside try it let me know how it goes. Meaning inside to outside or outside to inside racking if you want to bend conduit and want make it look good every time on every job. When you start a rack you can bend at any angle and use this measurement to add or subtract distance so all your conduits align in order with correct spacing between conduits.
Its production its labor saving and time is money. If you want to make money for your company or spend hours doing math think about it. Put it in a book for yourself you now have the center of bend from the end of conduit at that angle with no math needed this is the most important thing you need to bend conduit trust me on this. īut there not the same so if your serious do it. Įach bender or pipe you use during your time in the trade will be different on small conduit hand benders it doesnt matter that much. Your collar front edge on your big bender. Now this is from collar or the arrow mark on your bending shoe or hand bender your start mark on hand bender Now what ever size conduit it was record this the length from bent end to were they cross hair. These lines cross hair at the center of that pipe your just bent at any angle. Meaning draw a pencil line on the conduit for each bend of deg erase and draw over and over. Now make a straight line down the center from bent end of pipe do the same make a straight line down the pipe from the leg end. By the way use the same conduit take it out of the shoe and put it back in each time saves lots of conduit just in case your thinking a new conduit for each added deg. Get some pipe any size bend a 5 deg 10 deg 15 deg 20 deg 30 deg 45 deg 50 deg 60 deg and a 90 deg on the same conduit each deg lay that bent deg on the floor.
