all right so I'm trying to get this pipe in this box but I can't fit this pipe in without a proper offset and I'm going to show you guys how to do a proper offset right now so first things first you never want to use a bender because Benders can be a little inconsistent so I highly recommend to get one of these check this out so this is called a little kicker and all you got to do is just insert your conduit depending on your size this is made for 3/4 in once
