Conduit bending

[SMB]

Im now having to start to use metal conduit.

I havent used it for 20 years.

So far, in my new job, its just been straight runs, and threading the stuff, ofcourse this is easy.

But, next week it isn't going to be so easy.

Err, being a village idiot I have no Idea what B.O.B is, and I like the idea of the above measurements Jonnyboy, perhaps you could explain a little further? Thank you.

I also don't understand the 'touch method' really.

Ive got no-one to show me how to do this stuff........ive just got to do it!? Gulp.



What books did you buy zsoltimatrix? Perhaps you could let me know if they are worth buying? Cheers.

BOB --- back of bend. never bother myself. bend a bit too long, measure against trunking/accessory etc. then cut and thread.

Thanks Tel...but I want to be able to do double sets without couplers....I want it to look the business.

Cheers for that Johnboy, Ive just printed out the link.

It does make things a bit clearer, reading about it and doing it are 2 totaly different things though! (However, im not under any real pressure and there are lengths and lengths I can foul up and no-one is going to bat an eye-lid. But, I want to be good at it.)





I think I need to stop thinking about work, it has taken over my entire existance!!!
