Video

Fantastic video, thank you

What does that thing on the end of the handle do ?

Great and helpful information is a short time. Question. I'm using this same multimeter on an Victron Lynx distributor, across the pos and neg, with everything turned off, I think.... My meter HV led glows red, and the display tells me OL OL tell me there is not voltage, but the HV led tells me there is 30 or more volts. I selected dc volts, and same thing. I don't know if I can work on it. 😬

LOL…. Excellent review thank you…. I actually have a 61-486 .!!

Hey, anyone who is going to bend conduit, get a pencil, and stop using a sharpie.

this is a very useful video for beginners, unfortunately when I started I didn’t have such instructions, I learned from experience by eye I feel how much is needed

The day the cable company installed a splitter, for tv our household began to hear high frequency noise throughout the house. We canceled tv but still hear high frequency. In the cable box outside the splitter is still attached and one side is not capped. Also all the ports inside our house are also not capped. Could this be the cause of high frequency noise and can i remove the splitter and cap the lines that were attached to the splitter to solve this issue?

This is not wiring a house. I'm trying to determine if the wiring (copper) that is going into my house is up to grade because it doesn't have name, size , or grade written on its sheathing.

Appreciate it.

Could you explain the use of the bulb again in a different matter to help me understand the purpose

Thank you! Just helped me out big time, I couldn't figure out what I was doing wrong... made my day! Subscribed.

Are you able to measure amp draw with this?

What if I’m bending a back to back bend and can’t make the offsets because the pipe keeps lifting on me and if I do it with the conduit bender standing it’s to hard to bend please help me

I learned from this video before I ran EMT for the first time when I added a circuit to my basement. It came out great. But- when I need a box offset at both ends, I get completely confused on which side to start the bend on the second end. A couple times I made the offset in the opposite direction from what I intended; ruining the piece of conduit. What’s a good way to make sure you do the second offset in the right direction?

Just a thought can you find out if they can make it with the ground up for commercial electrical where we install ground up

Is there an easy way for a homeowner to test for a short in an interior line between demarc/NID and the wall jack? I plug in phone at NID and get dial tone but no dial tone at wall jack. Have you made a video of testing for such? I have several lines going to the NID.

How did you only lose 9/16'' of your overall length?? You should be losing 1-1/8'' of overall length. You lost 9/16 already at the center point and your only have way through the bends...

Will the glue hold it even pulling wire?

number is ok but split is coming

split what is this

Is there anything wrong with brushing the braid back with a small stainless steel brush?

lengths?

Fantástic

I cannot get these to go all the way in. It is absolutely annoying

good video, but just my opinion not the best choices of music.

Currently in school for this and my instructor is making this seem like rocket science with all the equations it’s confusing

1) Is there any particular reason you don't offer a 10awg version? Is is not safe to use such a connector with higher current line (30AMP Dryer)? 2) Is it any code violation or is it a fire hazard to use these type of connectors that support 30A / 10awg wires (push-fit, if I can find another brand like Wago 221-612 maybe since Ideal doesn't seem to make them) to extend wires between 2 electrical boxes? In other words, is it OK just to connect them through one knock-out box, seal up that box inside the wall and put drywall over it (since you'd normally never access it again), then extend the outer Romex (all 4 wires in a single shielded cable) down to another knock-out box lower on the wall, which actually has the outlet? 3) Also as an aside (OP or anyone who knows), is there any code in the US North America (I'm in NJ) against putting the Washer and/or Dryer electrical outlets directly behind the appliance, or a minimum height from the floor? More details... I'm trying to extend/relocate my 30AMP 4-prong Dryer outlet lower on the wall. (The builder / former owner of this 1970's condo installed each above the appliances, which sit side-by-side not stacked, and my appliances are in the bathroom, so they're not hidden behind closet doors or anything to hide all the unsightly power cords and outlets...I'm trying to clean up the aesthetics a bit and would love to move both the regular 3-prong 15A Washer and 4-Prong 30A Dryer outlets lower on the wall, behind the appliances, and out of the line of sight, if possible.)

Thank you so much for the info!

Better than my fieldpiece

Others have already said, but this video alone makes me happy with my purchase. Thank you taking time to explain the basics and bring up important details.

Sitting in the port-a-potty watching this because I told my boss I knew how to do this and I hella forgot lol

Great example, cheers!

Please can you send me the fomular

1st year apprentice here, foremen showed me some layout for some pipework tomorrow, haven't done a back to back since I learned it over 6 months ago and I wanted to come in prepared. If I remember correctly you used B method and A method is used with the arrow under 26" I believe? This was really straight to the point and explained very well, great refresher.

Just bought this for work. Thanks for the intro to it.

thanks!!

Good overview but, It did NOT tell you HOW to use it.

Actually, step 1 is get a pencil and throw that sharpie away.

This was exactly what I was looking for. This was a better explanation than the other guys videos. Subbed.

This video was nine years old. I want to see an updated version. For 2024.

Can you see volts and amps at the same time?

The old phone man who explained tip & ring to me said that positive and negative are irrelevant to phone lines because polarity is (well, was) used for alarm system signaling over leased pairs from the telco. If the tip side is positive and ring is negative the system shows normal, but if the polarity is reversed it goes into an alarm condition. No polarity at all generates a trouble signal (which could be a Bad Guy cutting the lines). I think you mention elsewhere that the CO sends AC over the same line to drive the customer's ringer.

really helpful

Thanks so much! A very helpful introduction to this tester!

Buna ati puteasa faceti o poza cu placa de la ton generator, interior, sa se vada componente electronice

lo recomendado es usar los wirenuts con resistencia de 1000 max volts y recisten temperatuda de 1000°F (depende que tipo de wirenut usan)

I agree: pre twisting before wire nutting is more secure, but I would strongly caution if it's done repeatedly with the same wires, they will eventually break.

Mkay!

Thank you sir you have answered alot of my questions. This topic was very well explained. As i live in a motorhome and have cable modem ota antenna and satelite. and wanted to make sure all played well together.

My 1/2" Ideal bender says there is a 5 " take-up for a 90 deg bend, implying the outside radius of the bend will be 5". The Ideal literature says the center line bend radius is 4 11/32 inches, which is ~4+1/2 EMT diameter (0.706"). This would make the inside radius 4". Adding the conduit diameter to the inside radius of the bender would make the outside radius 4.706" No matter what take-up I use the stub length varies +/- 1/8" . Which one is correct?
