I've watched dozens of videos, trying to find methods that are easy to understand and your material is by far the most simple and easy to understand. THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!
Excellent video man! I live in CT and just got my E-2 about 6-7 months ago. I worked for a company for my whole apprenticeship and then maybe 2 months after I got my license. The whole time there, all I was taught was how to rough apartments, trim & hot punch and undergrounds. They never taught me how to bend EMT or do switchgear. That deff frustrated me. So I left to go to a smaller company. I’ve been there for almost 4 months and they do tonssssssss of pipe bending. I have to learn it and this video has deff helped!!
Congratulations on passing your E2. That is a big issue in this business. I am glad my video's are helping you. Please email me I would like to pick your brain and see what I can do to help others and yourself. my email is sparkyinstructor@gmail.com!! Hope to talk soon.!! CM
We don’t need shrink in this example. Since we are not leaving a box and entering another. It’s simply making the correct bends to get over the obstruction
You didn't add shrinkage. Instead of 12" it should have been 13 1/2 " cause you get 1/4" shrinkage with 30 degree bends. Therefore that gives you 1 1/2" inch must be added.
Neither did mine. This is why I have created this channel was for my students and it has started to take off. I was thinking that if I made videos that helped my students it would help others knowing that most school and other instructors can not explain thing clearly. This way has worked wonders in the learning process for my students!! Thank you for the comment. CM
a simple way to teach. I watched other video is too complicated. You need master's degree to under what they talking about lol. Great job and thank you.
I’ve got a 4 point saddle going over a 8” wide and 1” high obstruction and 2” isn’t really enough to make the bends where they don’t interfere with each other
They need to know that 1/4 per inch of rise is your shrink and you adjust that center mark accordingly , all other marks will adjust EX: 6” rise multiply by 1/4=1-1/2 “ shrink So if the center of the obstruction is normally ex: 30” you’d make your center mark at 31 1/2.
why is the shrink applied only once for both offset (2 bends) and the 4 point saddle (4 bends)?, It seems it should be applied twice since you are bending the conduit 4 times in the 4 point saddle instead of 2 times in a offset.
Great question!! Shrink is based on the RISE of the object the you are going over. You can only apply it to the side you are measuring from or the starting point. Also the 4 point saddle is one considered one bend just like an offset is one bend. Yes there are more then one bend but that is how it needs to be looked at. Shrink is only applied once for that reason. I hope this helps you!!! Thanks for watching!!! CM
For this demonstration I used the center of the conduit. I was just showing how to bend a 4 point saddle. I have not done a video on shrinkage but I would find the center or an object and then add the shrinkage. You can find the size in an Uglys book. I will do a video explaining shrinkage soon. Thank you for watching!! CM
You know what’s crazy I was in local 441 ibew and they did a 30 minute pipe bending lab in my first year, and 30 minutes light switch and receptacle lab that’s it!!!! And sent us out to commercial jobs like UCI medical center. They collect money from the government for having apprenticeships and aren’t doing a good job if we can learn more in a five minute video on you tube
Im in IBEW Local 3. The apprenticeship schooling is kinda of a joke. The exams are ridiculously easy to pass. You would have to try to fail and that’s the only requirement needed to get promoted every year.
Didn't explain or applied shrinkage. It may seem little but over time, having to cut and couple different lengths costs alot of time. Sucks if you're just an inch off to the box and now you have to take it down cut off and cut a another piece to make it.
Los Cruzmartz Thank you for watching!! I hope you learned from my video!! Check out more of my video's I put out new ones every Monday and Thursday! If there is anything you would like to see please comment on any of the video's. Thank you for subscribing!!
I ve been doing this shit for 24 years if you are a beginner run from this shit unless you wanna have a fucked up life dealing with stupid inspectors and stupid rules other trades make so much more money with less problems Electricans , plumbers have it the worst
The best explanation and example I've seen. Kept it simple and straightforward. Good vid.
Funny comment... until you put it in place to find out that all measurements are wrong
Short, sweet and to the point, best video I’ve seen on doing a 4 bend saddle
By far one of the easiest tutorial videos I have found without having to think I needed a damn PHD in mathematics and science, watching other videos.
So glad you enjoyed it!!! I wanted to make it as easy as possible. Thank you for watching!! CM
Lmaooo same thing I was thinking
I've watched dozens of videos, trying to find methods that are easy to understand and your material is by far the most simple and easy to understand. THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!
Just used this video to bend my first 4 point and it came out beautifully
Very great video, straight to the point, short and simple. A great instructor!
This is by far the best 4 point saddle explanation on RUclips and what’s even cooler is the instructor making those bends look so easy haha.
The more you bend pipe, the easier it gets.
This is the done greatest video on this topic! THANK YOU SIR FOR YOUR TALENT .So many people lack the ability to explain things
Tweaking is always the last mark 😆 very straightforward demonstration. Awesome

The most simplest explanation I was able to find thank you! 🙏
dont all of the measurements change when adding in shrinkage?
Technically yes. But in practice it seems to have little effect on the end product
For this saddle it should be 1.5” shrinkage. Anyways just cut off an end to make fit if you have to.
You need to add your shrink, if someone watches this video and goes and does it in the field they're gonna be way off with a 6" rise
We don’t need shrink in this example. Since we are not leaving a box and entering another. It’s simply making the correct bends to get over the obstruction
Thank you so much my instructor made this seem so complicated and you just made it easy for me within a few minutes
You have the best videos simple and reliable
Good and simple. Best video I’ve seen yet. (Just a reminder kids)Remember to use the arrow for the bends
Wow!!! That was the best explanation I have ever seen!!! Thank you so much!!!!
straightforward to the point.. the best explanation!
Watched these videos before starting my a new job helped a bunch thanks for this amazing material.
Super informative thank you. I’m confident I’m gonna be bending 4 point saddles soon
Al al al
So glad it worked out for you!! CM
Short and straight to the point thanks again
Best conduit vids on the site! 10/10
Best video out there for pipe bending thank you teacher

Best and easy,thank you!
Excellent video teacher. Keep doing it!
Best so far
Thanks big guy...I always like watching pipe bending...grt vid....
Great teacher love his videos
no shrinkage?
great videos.... new favorite channel
This video is gonna get me a raise 😎
Thats awesome!! Glad I could help!! CM
Thanks for getting to the point 👍🏻👍🏻
Great video!
How you do determine your middle? Does it have to be in the middle of the conduit?
You the best brother
You don't add the shrink to 1st mark?
You do but I did not show this in the video as I use it in my class to just show them the basic bend. Thanks. CM
They need to know that 1/4 per inch of rise is your shrink and you adjust that center mark accordingly , all other marks will adjust
EX: 6” rise multiply by 1/4=1-1/2 “ shrink
So if the center of the obstruction is normally ex: 30” you’d make your center mark at 31 1/2.

Thank, you our job so easy
Interesting! Do you have videos on more complicated bends?
Gracias good video and simple to understand
Hi Craig, How did you determine where the center mark goes on the pipe? Thank you

I have not done a video on shrinkage but I would find the center or an object and then add the shrinkage. You can find the size in an Uglys book. I will do a video explaining shrinkage soon.

@@craigmichaud-electricalins4602
For the 4 point saddle did you use the marks on the tear drop?
Is he talking about center of the conduit, then split the difference of the distance of the obstruction?
Hell yeah! Thanks man
Very good
Appreciate the information
谢谢
Enjoyed!
Thank you so much

LU 523 Its the same here. Its sad
very good explanation but what about shrinkag
Exelente my friend
is using the arrow better than the center to front marks technique?
Yes because it is the same as 2 offsets. It will shrink on you and will be smaller. Great question. Thanks for watching!! CM
Hi. I am trying to figure out how to bend a emt to resemble a seahorse type frame for balloon decor. Can you assist with measurements?
Nice Video my teacher
I like the push through method.. its a lot easier
Show your mark on emt, zoom the camera near to emt
Didn't explain or applied shrinkage. It may seem little but over time, having to cut and couple different lengths costs alot of time. Sucks if you're just an inch off to the box and now you have to take it down cut off and cut a another piece to make it.
Mark 1 is the most important mark...adding shrink when adjoining this pipe to the pipe run is the only correct way to do it
awesome video, thanks
I am glad you enjoyed my video. I really appreciate to positive feed back!! Thank you for watching!! CM
Thank you
Lay the pipe on its side on the ground to check for dog legs no?
What about shrink calculation?
I bend off sets using the star that also works...
Nothing about shrink or adjust?
Did u measure 12 “ because 6” was the shrink ?? Thanks
If your using 30 degrees your double you height. 6 inches high at 30 degrees would make you two bends 12" apart
Exelent mr craig
Los Cruzmartz Thank you for watching!! I hope you learned from my video!! Check out more of my video's I put out new ones every Monday and Thursday! If there is anything you would like to see please comment on any of the video's. Thank you for subscribing!!
Ok now use that same method with 1-1/4” emt
Him: That’s it
Cuts camera 😂
on the board it reads: Black = 120v Red = 120v Blue = neutral Green = ground. Say what?
So from bend 1 to 3 theres a 10in separation?
Yes because the box is 10" inches wide
Why 12 inch both sides ?
You have a multiplyer of 2 for a 30 degree bend
Bend number #3 goes the same direction as bend #1. In other words both of them get bent in the same direction
Ok let's actually measure to center though
Thanks
Maaaan i did evrything you did step by step my obstruction was w 21” and D 10” and ended up with a 25” w and 13” D now i lost my job
Yeah! This only works for small objects if I’m trying to go over a beam 25” height shit won’t work!
Please explain?
For got your shrinkage there bud
السلام عليكم ممكن اضافة الترجمة للغة العربية
thanks
I hope my video helped you. Thank you for watching my videos!! CM
2022 thanks
Plz visa
Now do it on a 10ft pipe
22.5 degrees works out best, not 30 degrees
muchas gracias
I ve been doing this shit for 24 years if you are a beginner run from this shit unless you wanna have a fucked up life dealing with stupid inspectors and stupid rules other trades make so much more money with less problems Electricans , plumbers have it the worst
Please explain?
A No Dog helps
Jonny Saenz You are so right. I only use a no dog when bending big pipe. Its not as accurate when hand bending!! Thanks for watching my video!! CM
Very good
Thanks
