20mm PVC conduit crossover / hopover?

[overskilled]

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?

Who'd have thought a thread about benders would get this much interest Daz

It is in theory a simple 5-10 min job lol, especially as the OP already has the spring, I think it looks a lot better done with a bend than using pre made bends/junctions.

It is not simple, any form of setting conduit whether it be plastic or steel takes practice.

Why wouldn't you heat it up or bend it with your knees? Having something to get purchase helps in general.

We're talking a small crossover in a bit of PVC conduit, not tens of sets of metal pipe here.......

Just watched all the video, completely missed the point, what was the relevancy of it?

He could have used his knee to start the bend and got the same result, and he did heat the pipe up lol?

Personally bending conduit either goes well or is a disaster entirely....lol

my own garage so not a major issue having a few tries at it...

bloke in the video looked a bit lethal with a hacksaw tbh...

Yes it can turn into a bit of a mess lol, 5 lengths of conduit later :29:

I was pushing the idea as it is your own garage so even if it is off slightly it's no big deal!

Yeah he was lol, at least he smiled a lot though........
