Ryan Jackson and the Steel Tube Institute (STI) want to see the best conduit installations in the country! If you have what it takes, submit your photo and enter our contest for your chance at bragging rights, fame, and CASH MONEY!
The installation must be yours, and if we love your picture we will ask for evidence that you did the installation, and that the installation was made with conduit from an STI member company (that means the conduit was was made in the USA with steel procured in the USA).
We'll put your picture and info on our social media pages and we'll link to you and/or your company's page too!
And no, we won't put your name on an email list or anything like that. This is just a way to recognize some of the best craftsmen in the industry and to say "thank you" for using domestic steel and supporting american jobs.

Had a great talented guy who was an amazing conduit bender. Boss told us to run maybe 15' of sealtight around the top of some chocolate tanks to feed agitator motors. Guy spent just two or three minutes to make some test bends. He ended up bending a 5 to 7 degree bend ever few inches to follow the round tank top. They were 20' off the floor and nobody ever saw the terrific conduit bending.
I was fairly good and could bend saddle bends that for some reasons some sparkies can not. Still have my dads " Jack Benfield " little maybe 20 page conduit bending booklet from 50 years ago. In one research building the electrical inspector told us we probably had the largest pull box in our city. Was at least 18' long with a slotted expansion joint . Was called the 80 way because the contractor installed 80 3 or 4" conduits at both ends then a few years later they installed a dozen conduits on one side. Wires were pulled from emergency power switchgear & ATS'S from 7th floor to basement. Worked with a young talented sparky who often did not use a tape measure for a bend or offset while running 3/4" EMT. I asked a large union contractor who does the fantastic bends in large switchgear rooms. Told me they have one guy doing the layout on paper but were changing over to use a computer. Like the guy on TV show Monk said " Its a gift ".
I hope that STI is requiring that submitted photos include geotag info embedded, just to keep everything honest.
That’s it. I’m not winning today hahah I run some conduit but not as much as some guys I see on the field or social media hahah. Good luck everyone
Yeah, I wouldn't stand a chance either!
Nothing upsets me more when someone does a beautiful job bending conduit or instrument tubing and then a year later, some engineer wants another circuit and a lazy electrician messing up the work of art by just running a tube across everything.
I can't bend perfection.
