What happens here

After the PVC conduit has been successfully bent and allowed to cool and harden, inspect the bend to ensure it is smooth, maintains its circular shape, and is free of kinks or damage. The 'Dad' highlights the perfectly formed 45-degree bend. Once cooled, carefully extract the internal bending spring from the conduit. The video concludes with a discussion on the benefits of this manual bending method, emphasizing the cost savings associated with not needing to purchase additional fittings and the ability to create custom, precise bends for specific electrical installation requirements.

Goal: Confirm the quality of the bend and understand the practical benefits of the manual bending technique.

Tools and materials
