If you're doing a lot of this at a time, a bandsaw will save so much time and effort. Also, using the knockout furthest from the stud gives you a bit more angle & clearance when sliding in the pipe, especially if it's a tight fit 😉
@@BobClarizio just piping box to box what I am struggling with is knowing where to get your measurements with 90's kicks and offsets keep up the good work! These videos helps a lot
Nice video. 9:30 next time, just drill much bigger holes in the studs. Prevents small measuring mistakes. 😏 Or.. you could do the piping first, and then screw the box on the stud. This way you will punch the best knockout on the box. Or.. you could do like you did, but with the connector on the pipe, rather than on the box.
Instead of ruining a good pair of channel locks, you could also just buy a reamer which is faster too since it reams the inside and outside at the same time. I also use a cordless Milwaukee bandsaw to cut my pipe and I realize that people may not have the money for a tool like that too but it makes everything so much faster and easier.
Hey Bob, Does the code allow for a power inlet box (used to install a portable generator for emergency power) to share the same conduit with another line so I only make a single hole into the house? In other words, I would like to run a 120 amp service out to a single exterior outlet served by it's own dedicated exterior enclosure separate from the power inlet box. Both circuits would be on their own dedicated circuit breakers. A single pole 15 amp breaker for the exterior service line and a 30 amp breaker using a generator interlock kit. I would like to avoid punching 2 holes into the wall near the electric panel to keep things looking tidy. (I'm following the "fill" rules regarding the number of cables inside the conduit) Thanks in advance.
Best tool I have but never used that much for conduit the makieta 9.6 one handed Sawzall from the late 1990s. I'm sure the tool works but Batts don't hold a charge I mean nicades from late 90s lasted till 2010( cld have been longer but they were lent out to someone who didn't know nicades need to be cycled I got them back 2013) was pissed had no clue where my drill 12v went. Batts no longer hold acharge. Cld buy new Batts but haven't used in 15 yrs
Don't need it, ream out ends like terry said, and if you put rubber in then you may lose your electrical ground connection that the metal conduit gives you ...
For that second bend on that offset, the 45. why didnt you bend on the arrow? I always do offsets on the arrow. Just wondering, I like understanding different ways to do things
It’s because the notch is the focal point of your bend so you could actually use it to measure to get the center of that bend and see how the second time he had to cut the pipe at the 11 inches to have his offset started well if he would’ve just started his offset and there he could’ve had that centerpoint of that bend at 11 inches and not had to cut the pipe
Please your video’s show your inexperience with your conduit bending . I would not let my students watch this video with its error’s . First comment to anyone and you need to be thankful it is a shed and not a house.
They never make u use emt in residential. I'd like to see this guy's license. It's highly illegal to do electrical wit out a master electrician license, contractor license, insurance and bonding. Don't get taken for a ride.
