Using the Greenlee 1818 Mechanical Bender to bend a stub-up and offset on 1 ½” EMT conduit

Montana State University – Northern Associate Professor of Electrical Technology Trygve "Spike" Magelssen and Instructor Jim Kirkpatrick

The Greenlee 1818 Mechanical Bender is shown and a description on how to properly use the bender safely is a key part of this video. The bending of a 24 inch stub-up and an 8 inch offset bend in the conduit is also shown. The proper use of the bender, use of a protractor, and counting the number of clicks while bending the offset is paramount to getting a proper bend. There is a segment of the video that shows what to do when the stub-up hits the floor in front of the bender and you have to elevate the front of the bender, using blocks, in order to complete the bend.
