How Electricians Bend 1 1/4” EMT Conduit,💪 and it’s not that Easy🤯 #electrician
What happens here
Continue the same rhythmic pulling and jumping motion, maintaining your weight on the foot pad. You will notice that as the conduit bends, you will start running out of 'shoe' space (the pipe will approach the end of the bender's curve). At this point, flip up the shoe and lock it into its alternative position (usually a slightly higher or different pivot point). This action provides more clearance and leverage to continue the bend. Keep repeating the pulling and jumping motion with your weight still on the foot pad until the conduit approaches a 90-degree angle.
Goal: Achieve the desired 90-degree bend.
