What happens here

Measure and cut sections of 3/4 inch EMT conduit to span from the electrical panel to an appropriate junction box or the hole leading outside. Use an offset bender (referred to as 'little kicker' in the video) to create precise bends, such as a 90-degree bend, to route the conduit neatly along the wall. Once the conduit is bent and cut to size, secure it to the wall using conduit straps and appropriate screws. Ensure the conduit run is straight, level, and securely fastened to protect the wiring within.

Goal: Create a protective pathway for the wiring on the interior wall

What they say

Hide

customer called saying they want a Tesla charger installed at their house. They just got a brand new red Tesla. And let me tell you, it's a straight rocket. So, I drill into the wall with a paddle bit, feed my ROMX wire into the electrical panel, then start prepping my 3/4inch EMT conduit. I use my offset bender. I call it the little kicker. I bend it a 90° and then I strap it onto the wall. I then use my paddle bit again to drill outside so I can start mounting my Tesla charger back plate. I feed my conductors in two number sixes and one number 10 gauge ground cuz this is a 240 volt EV
