Calculating a 45 degree offset piping system / Tradestutor 

Finally, a pipe trades video in English, with proper audio and without annoying music in the background! This channel's a keeper.

Tradestutor- Thank you in advance, I just took a test to advance my career in the pipe trades industry and this helped me tremendously. I will be visiting your channel here frequently to be sure i am learning well! thanks again! BP

Awesome explanation for that and your voice is very easy to hear and understand thank you so much for producing this video .

I am Currently enrolled construction engineering, the plumbing theory instructor who always bring stories in class instead of teaching to sum it, this video has taught me how to calculate offset. Thank you.

One of the only videos that I finally understood offsets you explained it so simple thank you

Thank you he always goes to the point. Which is what I like. Thank you again.

THANKS...I UNDERSTAND YOU BETTER THAN OTHER PAGES...DON'T GET ME WRONG THEY'RE ALL HELPFUL BUT YOUR CHANNEL IS IN MY OPINION BETTER TO UNDERSTAND. THANKS AGAIN.

Thank you! Simple and to the point!!

Thank you! This is exactly what I needed to know.

I do contract welding and this is a great tool to get the job done

Thank you for explaining it so well!

You rock, teacher! I really appreciated thta.

Thank you for your videos I will be watching a lot of them

Excellent explanation bro 👍, thanks

Thank you I ran into this at my job this really helps

This is so helpful thank you

So helpful thank you !

I have another question regarding this, say you have a pipe running horizontal and the end of that run is a Y fitting, but then after the Y you need to install a 45 fitting. My question is, how do you find out the length of that pipe in between those two fittings to hit the center of what you're goin for? In relation to the diagram here, as an example (measuring from East to West direction from a wall) say the one pipe is 25" off the and then the center of a hole for a bathtub lets say is 60". Do you subtract those numbers and then divide that by 1.414 to get the length of pipe that is in between the Y fitting and the 45 fitting?

great presentation. keep them coming

Thank you straight to the point.

Thanks for your help I really needed it here at work nobody wants to teach you anything they're scared you gonna take their job away.. pipeline field

Very simple thanks

Awesome simple and quick

Great tutorial. In plain english and no bullshit, now i get it.

Great video Thank you. It will help me in the Gas Distribution sector i am in.

Thanks alot for this video. Now i finally understand how

COOL video. Well done.

This really help with my duct work. Thanks man!

How you calculate your travel for different offsets from poin a to point b maintaining the offset between the travel pipe?

Nice video... Thank u...

Remember, the travel length is the distance from the fitting center to center. You must subtract the "A" value at each end to get the pipe length.

true! this was really educational, I am a plumber and thank you for the video! Roarr!

Very good explanation

Hello sir, I have a Question with you.

great, thankyou sir.

Great video thank you

THANKS FOR TIPS

Hi, I like your video. Thanks

Great video

Great vid, i just have a question when applying this "in field" say you have one pipe running parallel with the wall but you have a 3X2 Double Y with a 45 on it to pick up another fixture . I'm wondering in this application would you measure off the wall to the center of the 2" 45 that is attached to the Double Y and then get another measurement for the stub down pipe off the wall too? Then do you take those numbers and subtract them, does that give you the "travel" then you divide by 1.414?

Here is what I’m looking for . I work with ac ducts . So how do you calculate the the travel when it comes to ducts . Let’s say I have a 8x8 duct coming down the roof that has to be connected to a ventilation grill . The grill is also 8x8 . And they give a straight line of duct thats 8x8 and we have to calculate how to cut it so the the duct coming down the rood connects with the ventilation grill

Thank u now i know to offset 45degree angle

TSR is easier for people to remember. Travel, Set, Run. 6 syllables down to 4.

But how do I find the length that I need to cut the pipe on the advanced side?

thank you for saving me

You get 24.04, but don't you have to subtract both your take offs for your 4t degree bends?

Thanks you so much!

hey, do u know any formula that you could use when you have a 45 offset but there’s a difference in the distance apart between pipes and height

So I tie in watermain all the time.. how would I find the angle like should I use 45s or 22s

So before the conduit is bent, do i mark two different points with 24.04 inches in between?? (for the first example)

I like you your video

1.414 became very easy to remember when I did the math behind it and realized it's just Square root of 2.

The 24.04 doesnt include the laps on both 45s right.... so I'd add 3" or so.for that as well?

If the pipe is screw in pipe do you add the 45s or does this method counts the pipe being screw in into the 45 fitting?

It is good to use inches or mm? or doesn't matter the unit of measurement?

Can I just get this for laying out framing?

Thanks

I understand but what if the offs t isn't 17 does the rule still apply

wish my foreman taught like this

Let's say that I want to apply a certain +/- degree of pitch. What's the simplified method then?

1.414 where is this from and how would you calculate for other than 45?

Useful

does this work with 3/8 hydraulic tube bending? I bend a lot of tubes and I am not good with math so I make templates and copy them to the tube.

Thanks for sharing with us. A question: this work for what size of emt?

Nice

Nice....

Hey wasshup I’m in the plumbing trades UA local and I had a lil trouble with the offset cause I’m class they move kinda fast but I watched this video and now I understand it a lot more I just wanna know do you know a website I could use to help me practice with like quizzes etc

Sir ok

I did 42 x 0.414 is that just for 22.5?

More videos please

I work in hvac hanging duct and i always struggled when it comes to using 45. Will this method work for duct work too?

Hi 45° to 45° ok but 30° to 60° how to connect that pipe elevation any formula

👍

.707 in reverse also works

thank u so much for your vidio. i am very interested to increase my experience in position line inspection/ cheker

question: I am having trouble wrapping my head around this concept. What if I have to find a travel for a 45-degree offset and my offset is like 3 feet 4 1/4 inches? The two measurements for one offset are throwing me off

No comment on subtracting for the amount of straight in the Els ??

.how to get the advance in 45 degres offset?

What if they aren’t parallel?

It works in a different size of pipe?

Do you do tutoring online by any chance? I live in BC and am looking for a tutor for my Level 2 plumbing

What is the purpose of calculating an offset? What's it for?? First year apprentice and I'm lost..

Are inches or metric system?

What do you do when your advance is a larger number than your offset

How do you calculate using 11° degree bends?

After finding the travel you still have to takeoff for 2 45’s to get your end to end measurement

Can you help me piping foreman client interview

Great demonstration. But you forgot that you need to deduct the offset of your 2 45s from the offset as well. To get the correct length of your travel piece of pipe , copper, duct work. What ever you are running. Well as far as round goes.

Or either divide the offset by 0.707 for a 45 degree or 0.5 for 30 degrees.

24.04 whats that on a tape measure?

Is the travel piece considered vertical

At time 3:15 when u mentioned 17... Is that 17 inches?

How do you find the en-to-end length of the pipe?

Hi, I made an app to calculate this a few years ago called - Simple Offset Pro on Android. Hope it helps :)

Can I use this formula for rectangle duct

The 1.414 what is that exactly? Pipe thickness? Is it mm? Pls answer need help

I make my offsets a little longer so I can put the pipe up get a perfect place to put it and Mark the pipe and cut it

10 inch offset make your mark at 15 inches
