HOW TO FORM A STEEL CONDUIT OFFSET BEND - Apprentice electrician essentials

An offset, or double set, conduit bend is used to enter electrical accessory knockouts, metal trunking or route conduit round obstacles.

Thanks for the conduit bending tips extremely helpful for helping me pass my am2s. Would be great if you guys could do some more videos on 20mm plastic conduit. I had to do a 90 into a double set

If you just double rise for a 30 degree offset that will be the second mark and you can do it in one go and not have to take the pipe out of the machine. Eg. your 50mm rise would be 100mm between the marks.

I had do this with a 23mm drop and really stuggled, great video though could do it with a less drop so I can see how I need to do it please?

If possible be nice to see how ppl tackle high offset bends within the middle of the tube having to use the bottom side of the former 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽🙂

Beautiful instruction, best teacher !🔥🔥

[johnflower]

I used to use a wooden block with an elongated hole at the end to do. conduit settings

[georgesprackling]

What a double, double set called, (if so) so straight with two double set, at different distances, 50 and 90mm.

It would be great to see an example where you have to go over 2x2 galv trunking, but not in a bubble. This method, but the American term, 4 point. 👍

Use a spirit level on your phone to get the same angle to get the parallel set accurate. They do work and the apps are free

[alanmarriott]

How else can you measure and mark if on site you haven’t a table to use!?

[CGill]

How are you guessing what 30 degrees is? I’m sitting my AM2 soon and have been told I can’t use an inclinometer. I won’t just be able to bend the pipe and know that I am looking at a bang on 30 degree angle which means the conduit isn’t going to meet with the box fixed on the wall.

[OfficialChrisGill]

0:50 - why did you choose 30 degrees out of interest? And if my dimensions are different to the ones in this video, how would I determine how many degrees I need to bend mine too as I’m assuming it’s not a one size fits all approach… i’m really struggling because 30 degrees in this video is not working for me on my practice rig

[leeguitarmcr]

Think I need to go to the gym?!! What was that conduit made out of?? It looked too essy to bend.

[WCamden]

Why exactly is changing the first bend so wrong? If say you’re bending a 3m length with just 150mm on the other side of the set it would be physically much easier to just adjust the smaller end

[stevehenke]

I'd say "give it a tappy, tap, tap".

[grumpygit]

When working on a building site you don’t always have tables So you either do it by eye or ode another bit of conduit on ground This pair would never last on site work

[NaydenSpirdonov]

Why Americans are so much better in bending conduits than british. Any chance you can explain the difference in the systems and can we use the american benders. As the british way is total pain with this heavy useless benders. British way is do the bend and hope and pray it looks good.

[johncoombs]

You’d earn no money taking that long to do a double set, don’t cut it to short, do that after the set is complete, good for novices though 👍
