okay you got it Hey Dad how do you bend inch and a quarter conduit so inch and a quarter conduit is the same as any other conduit right just a bigger Bender okay it's pretty much the biggest conduit you can bend manually got on this side we've got the arrow right and then we've got the back 90 star okay so what do you want to do uh just like a 90 90° okay 90° Bend what I like to do if I'm just making a 90 on the very end of the pipe go approximately 2 in beyond the shoe stuff really tough to bend no no it's not it's just a technique to it I'll show you the technique pop can make it work all right pop the whole key is not kinking it and how you do that is by maintaining almost a 100% of your weight on this large foot pad right here yeah I use my right leg cuz my right leg is my stronger leg okay I'm going to make sure I'm straight I don't have any dog legs going okay and then what I'm going to do is as I pull I'm actually going to jump back okay go one two three okay little little start off so I'm going to continue that same movement yeah nice and easy you can see I'm running out of shoe here okay but I'm going to continue till I run out of the shoe and there it is now what I'm going to do is I'm going to flip up the shoe yeah I lock the shoe in at a different spot okay if you notice that I have more room now yeah so now we'll continue wow yeah that looks tough n it's not tough yeah and again my all my weight is right here got it wow yeah that looks like a perfect 90 right yeah I think it's right about there there you go so you could have um little bubble level here to see yep and then it should just oh wow yeah right out that was perfect that is how even at 60 years old you can bend hell yeah thanks Dad got it thanks
