I love everything you’re doing my man. Even as an experienced conduit bender I find myself learning and improving from your videos. Im from the camp of never stop evolving and improving, and my dude you are always helping me with that. Thanks so much!
Thank you my brother. I appreciate your comment. I really enjoy making these videos. I love the fact that the new generation will have something to turn to when they need to figure something out.
I appreciate these vids a lot … I gotta say tho .. it’s confusing when some ppl say different things .. throws me off … I saw a vid where another guy said the shrink on a 3-point saddle was 3/16” for every inch of rise and now this guys is saying it’s 3/16” for every 2 inches of rise .. which is it ? Lol. Thanks for the help !
Steve it's like offsets it all depends on the degree of bend you are using. For a regular 22.5-45-22.5 saddle yes it's 3/16" for every inch rise. For this method on this video which is 11-22-11 it's the shrink is so minute that it has to be 3/16" for every 2 inches. There are so many different types of saddles that you can bend to different degrees. Don't forget that the degrees is what you use to you and out how much it will shrink.
@@TheArtOfConduitBending ok, thank you! And if the rise on an 11-22-22 is 1.5 inches and not quite 2, then we just don’t worry about the shrink then ? Thanks !

I Thought You Said 3/16" Shrinkage Per Inch For 22 1/2° ? You Now Say 2" Rise Would Be 3/16" And 4" Rise Would Be 3/8". Why Sir. Please Help Me. I Am Confused Now.
What I said was. It's 3/16" shrink for every 2" of rise. Why? Because that's what the shrink is for 11 degree saddles. That's all you have to remember.
When using a Chicago bender or sidewinder and you’re doing a 3 point what changes with the marks? For instance with 90’s or offsets you just put the mark with edge of the shoe, do you still use the edge of the shoe for 3 point saddles?
Great Question... and I apologize for not seeing it in time. I don't know why sometimes i don't get these comments. Anyhow to answer your question. Chicago and Sidewinder 3 point saddles. i was going to try and explain it here but it would take too long. You have to use center of bend to do saddles on those benders. There are 2 methods. 1 use center line radius measuerement so you can line up your marks on the front of shoe or hook. 2 you find the center of bends you will use for saddle and mark it on bender and use those marks to bend saddle and not the shoe or hook. I have a video where i touch on this i just can't remember which one. I'm sure its a video where i use the sidewinder.
Yes the multiplier stays the same for every size conduit. The multiplier only changes depending on the degree you are bending. Hope this helps.

@@mikeruano4858 I didn't come up with it my brother. It's trigonometry. For 3 point saddles we use the degrees on the outer bends to come up with the calculation. Simply put just like offsets we use the cosecant. So for 11 degrees the cosecant is something like 5.24 round it to a multiplier of 5. Done ✅ Hope that helps.

If the pipe will be hidden by ceiling or covered up with fireproofing (blown insulation) or 40ft from floor, why wouldn’t you want to use a SHARPIE instead of a pencil? These job sites are usually have very poor lighting (temporary lights) and make it hard to see a pencil mark.
No you can't. But this link will take you 2 the second push thru. I have 2 out of 3. You can how ever do a push thru of this video by finding the centers of 11 degrees and 22.5 degrees and charting your bender then you can bend it by pushing through. As of now that's the only way I know how.
@Holmz Law oh yeah guess I never realized you could use it for that as long as you account for shrink, I guess you can really perform just about any bend in a specific spot
@@TheArtOfConduitBending if you woulda set that conduit on the floor I bet you it wouldn't sit flat so I wish you could shown some techniques on how to make adjustments to make it flat I don't think it's too hard to understand
😆 I was waiting for you to put it on the ground check if it's over bend or under because I can see it's under bend but overall you did a great job on these small obstruct saddles.good job
The 5 inches Is my spacing calculation for my 2 side bends. Because my obstruction is 1 inch and my multiplier is 5 for this type of 3 point saddle. So 1 inch x 5= 5 inches. So from my center mark i measure and mark 5 inches from my center mark on both sides of the center mark and that will be the 2 bends I do with the arrow. Hope this helps. I don't go into too much detail on how to do the 3 point saddle because I have a video explaining in detail how to actually do a 3 point saddle bend. This is more to show you the formula of a different type of saddle. Thanks for the comment.

Dude I use this saddle today and it came out perfect! super easy to do! It worked perfect for going over ¾ and ½ EMT. Thank you so much for the cool tips.
This is how I bend 3 point saddle over 3/4 pipe. Once I realized how the math function work, it clicked. But I use the 6 multiplier. I'll try the 5 multiplier
