Don't do much conduit work...finishing my garage wire up and socket conduit needs to hopover the light circuit conduit. Can you buy these ready made or is it a case of bend your own?
*tin helmet on*
Doing some steel conduit bending (90, single set and double set) but can't find anything online of how to do it or such, can anyone direct me to some posts/videos on how to bend them?
Thanks,

Been sorting through my toolbag and getting ready for tomorrow's job. For years I've had a cable bending tool to put a nice clean bend in tails etc., but it seems to have been nicked at some point. :( Any recommendations for a replacement? Can't find anything exactly like the one I had.
Not a job of mine but was asked about making a frame out of 25mm conduit. Not a single wire involved in this project.
What ID radius can you bend 25mm 180° to using a standard Hilmore bender?
Nothing to do with sledges or anything along those lines.
Stare at the red dot for about 30 seconds and glance away at a blank area, (like a wall or ceiling), and blink your eyes. Pretty neat. Explanations?

Hi,
I'v got a job to do which involves putting 1 set into a length of galv conduit. I don't really get the chance to do any Galv as such, and don't have a proper bending machine. Could anyone advise as to whether a plumbers pipe bender would do the same job? or any other suggestions greatly...
I saw this online and the math used is much more precise than the cosecant method for bending
conduit. Has anyone used it?
I saw this reference article on precision;

might be too much math for electricians??
I have to bend some steel conduit as shown in the picture about how would you get the angles spot on? The picture isnt really accurate as i belive the 2 sets will be similar. doing it another way isnt an option as thats how the client wants it too look like. the black opject is a wall support...
Hi guys,
I wanted to ask if anyone here knows of any online resources (to which they could post any links here) where any of us could find some helpful and detailed information (in terms of drawings/diagrams/formulae) and explanations about PIPE BENDING in the UK electrical industry? In...
Can anyone point me in the right direction?
I read somewhere that the bending radius for SWA is 6 x the diameter for 1.5mm to 16mm and 8 x the diameter 25mm and over. Is this correct? can't seem to find any documentation to support this either in the regs or otherwise.
Cheers in advance.

Just bought the 20mm heavy gauge spring today. At C.E.F he asked which i wanted does it make much difference on the one you get be it heavy or light gauge? or best to have both for the different gauges of conduit.
