Electrician Apprentice Does his 1st PVC Cold Bend! Father teaches a PVC Conduit Hack, Thoughts?

Watch on YouTube

What happens here

After successfully demonstrating the bend, the father praises the apprentice's work and compares the result to other pre-bent conduit pieces and EMT (Electrical Metallic Tubing). He explains that while bending PVC with a pipe viper is easier than using EMT for bends, the choice between PVC and EMT depends on the specific application due to their different properties and installation requirements.

Goal: Understand the benefits of this bending method and its application context.

>> That's way easier than getting a fitting. That's way easier than using EMT. Why don't just use PVC all the time? Well, if you use PVC, I do use EMT. It depends on the application. I like PVC. Actually sharp. Really sharp. Really dope. All right. Thanks, Dad. and Gabra.
