Master Electrician Dad Teaches a Hack how to Bend 3” PVC Conduit by Hand🤯 Did you know this?

Watch on YouTube

What happens here

With the PVC conduit properly positioned, the dad inserts the Rack-A-Tiers Pipe Viper bending spring into the pipe. He then uses his body weight, pushing down on the conduit while leveraging it against the work stand, to gradually bend the 3-inch Schedule 40 PVC conduit by hand. The bending spring inside the conduit provides the necessary internal support to prevent the pipe from kinking or collapsing during the cold bending process. The son expresses clear amazement at the ease and effectiveness of the bend, which is quickly achieved to a 45-degree angle.

Goal: Create a clean, unkinked bend in the PVC conduit without external heat.

Tools and materials

  • Pipe Viper Bending Spring Rack-A-Tiers — Providing internal support to prevent kinking during cold bending
  • PVC Conduit — The pipe being bent
  • Work Gloves — Enhancing grip and protecting hands
  • Work Stand — Providing leverage and support during the bending process
