How to bend a 45 degree offset.

  • While I would say you should "always" try to bend a 30 degree offset, sometimes you don't have the space. You need something a little tighter, shorter, in steps the 45.
    The 45 degree offset has many of the same rules at a 45, 2 marks, rotate the conduit, with one bit difference, the multiplier. This isn't as easy as multiplying by 2, if you need to use a calculator or do long math on a wall, make sure it isn't the finished side.

    I wish you were my jw. Your explanations were simple and easy to understand. It's apparent you love being an electrician. I just subscribed and look forward to future videos.

      Hey LT, thanks a ton. I do freaking love being an electrician. Don't let anyone slow you down or make you dislike the trade. I learned a ton from a lot of JW.. some good and some really bad.

      Thanks a ton! Working on a saddle video, it’s freaking hard to communicate. FYI I’m not one to let “others” control what I say or think but I really do wanna see more women enter the trades. We are better where we are diverse in thought and perspective❤️‍🔥

    I agree with you 100% about how some electrician will tear anotherperson work down just to make themselves look good. Unfortunately, I have worked around too many of them in the field. And whats worse is these are "union" guys I'm talking about. But I know now there's no real union in Florida. Anyway, l agree with what you said around 11:56 min of your video.

  • @tonydyer5073

    Can you do a video where you bend a compound offset. Like a 60 and a 30 degree bend.

    • @empoweredkc
      @empoweredkc  Před rokem

      We have the 30 degree, which should be used the majority of the time. A 60…. TBH I’ve maybe down this 10 times in 10 years. They are a B word to pull through 😂

    The multiplier.. What is 9 and 3/8 multiplied by 1.4. Just randomed 22.4 w/o a begining measurement to multiply 1.4 with thx. Liked the fact that he mentioned Lowes before home Depot

    • @empoweredkc
      @empoweredkc  Před rokem +2

      When you get a crazy specific offset like that, try and find a way that you can get an "easier" offset. Remember how electricity flows... the path of least resistance.

    How would you account for shrink? I'm a beginner.

    • @empoweredkc
      @empoweredkc  Před rokem

      if you add 3/16" for every "Inch" you are offsetting you can calculate the shrink with no waste... but at the beginning just give yourself a little extra room and cut it to fit.

    Be veeeeeery careful if decide to make things "look" level or square. It will look like sh*t when you're done. You would NEVER build an unsquare or unlevel addition to match the existing old structure.
    Yes it does expose what's wrong with the existing structure, but if match bad with bad it will look even worse. Try it and find out.

    • @empoweredkc

      Mark over the existing mark "hard" with sharpie and immediately wipe it... somehow the new mark makes the old mark wet enough to erase... it's weird but works

      Maggie, amazing point. Like most people when I say, "whats up guys..." I mean all people but your point is 10000% correct and thanks for bringing it up. For real, I super appreciate it. TBH I used to say "Chicks" like I would say "Dude" but my wife yelled at me ;) Future recorded videos will be better.
