The Apprentice Does His 1st Proper Box Offset! Electrician Dad Teaches Son Conduit Bending Tips⚡️
What happens here
Stand behind the conduit to 'eyeball' its straightness and then apply downward pressure on the bender's handle to make the second bend. This bend should mirror the first one, but in the opposite direction, creating the offset. Continuously check the straightness of the conduit between the bends to prevent a 'dog leg'. The goal is for the two bent sections to be parallel, allowing the conduit to sit flush against a surface.
Goal: Complete the second bend to form the offset and ensure the conduit is straight.
