You can bend it on the exhaust pipe from your truck. I have done it many times. On 1/2 and 3/4 and 1 inch pipe. Bigger pipe is harder but it will work in time.
@@MountaineerOutdoors We used to have a greenlee PVC bender used antifreeze and propane. It work well but I never could get over the smell of antifreeze all day long. You have to clean the PVC before you can glue it.
I have to install conduit flat again a basement wall into an outlet box affixed to a support. While I could buy a piece of conduit to make the turn, when you add the fitting and do eight of them I thought there should be a better way to do it. The already made piece would not fit the job in any case. This seems like and easy way to do it. I was thinking you could make a jig and once the pipe was heated you could just put it in the bending jig to hold it in place and cool with a spray of water or wet cloth. Anyone ever use this technique or is there a better way?
Yes just take your time because it will take a bit longer to heat it up and bend it. Make sure you tape up the ends too to keep the heat inside so it will bend faster
This is perfect for my conduit bending class, thank you sir.
My pleasure thanks for watching and commenting
My husband says thank you for all your videos we have Ben watching and he finds them extremely helpful :) Bless you.
My pleasure and I am so glad that they have helped him. Thanks for the comment and watching ☺
I met an old electrician who used a propane tank like from a grill with a flame thrower nozzle and bend 4 pvc 3/4 inch pipes all at the same time.
Wow gotta watch that burning of the conduit though. It will definitely get the job done
@@MountaineerOutdoors commercial for you, big problems require big solutions
That's right, go big or go home 😂 😂
You do know that all your experience....you make this look a helluva lot easier than when I try it for the first time. Good info.
With your ingenuity you would be a pro..

Now that's one thing I have never done. I haven't used antifreeze.. I couldn't imagine smelling it all day either

Here's the critter that we used .

That would be great idea and could potentially make you millions. Send me one when you get it made. Have a great day and great idea
Great video - Thanks

Thanks for sharing 👍
Of course my pleasure
Same technique for 3/4 sch 80?
Yep
Can you hook it? I want to make so rain doesn’t get into a vertical application.
Yep you can for sure just have to take your time with it
Would you use the same technique with 1 inch PVC SCH 40 conduit?
Yes just take your time because it will take a bit longer to heat it up and bend it. Make sure you tape up the ends too to keep the heat inside so it will bend faster
Nice 👍
What angle of bend?
I used the tape measure so really can't judge it as a degree.. Just use the tape measure like I did
