Remember y'all... We aren't all taught the same methods. If you're an apprentice in the field, soak up all the knowledge you can and use the methods that work best for you. Not all tradesman are made equal... There is always someone that knows more, does it faster and cleaner.
Don’t subtract the 3” or you will be short 3” 🤦🏻♂️ he was able to get away with it because he just needed to get under the beam. If you are doing a back to back to get from box to box, don’t subtract 3”.... ever....
Ok… so what do you do then? I haven’t limited experience bending pipe. Trying to bend one similar to what he has. I need a 561/2” 90. BOOM. Done! Then, I need 24 3/4” to the back of the 90. Measured, did not deduct anything, turned the bender towards the first 90, and bent it. It ended up being 24 3/8” so I now I’m totally confused 🤦🏻♂️
@@BourbonKowboy if u r using 3/4 pipe and want to bend a stub of 56 1/2, u subtract 6 and bend at the arrow, if u then need a back to back 90 at 24 3/4 then u mark pipe from back of the 90 and bend at the star.
Bubalashkka he full of shit bro...you don't subtract three you just bend at the star the way it is...he should of put the star on the 16 and bent it...he not a foreman either...he said pacific box in the video for christ sake
If you mark is going to be at 80”, it makes more sense to just mark it at 80”, turn the bender the opposite direction you pulled your measurement from, and use the star. It would a lot easier to manage the shorter stub.
You could measure your 90 from the backside of your first 90, subtract 6, if your using 3/4, put your mark on the arrow, face the other direction and bend up. That way you would have more leverage and you wouldn't need someone to stand on the pipe. In other words you wouldn't have your back to your first 90 you would be facing it.
No even harder because now all that extra pipe will be in front of the hook of the bender u will have to work against it he didn’t need that second person to stand on the pipe he is a barney
Hi Andrew, 2 questions. 1st, why minus 3 inches in second bend?. 2nd, did you use the STAR to bend the second bend? I keep repeating the video but I don't understand
