EMT Bending - How To

Recommended Posts

I had to admit I was retarded when it came to bending EMT conduit. I have not been good at it, and finally got some help to learn how to get bent in a better way.

I have never seen a tutorial on How To bend conduit, so I came up with this one. I hope it helps someone out there who was as "challenged" as I was doing this.

Dave, funny you mention that. Pete Peters, one of the contributors actually stated that a video would be great. Now, I think he was somewhat busin my chops because if you know anything about me or my display, I am video challenged too. Long running joke. :rolleyes:

I thought the easiest way to bend EMT is give it to Jim and have him use it on his megatree.

LOL good one!! Might be easiest, but shipping would be prohibitive... :P

Thanks guys for the feedback. I appreciate it.

Jim, I might have to consult with you on your bending methods and see about a revision to my document. ;)

Problem with the way Jim bends EMT is that you can't pull wire through it when he's done :lol: :lol:

Poor Jim, I don't think he's ever going to live that down.

yeah..it is dying a VERY slow death!!!

Guys, I just realized I left out a fairly important "Note". So if you pulled a copy, you may want to go get the latest. Here is the new direct link:

When you are using almost an entire EMT stick, as you get to the last few bends, there is no leverage to make the bend. So you have to insert a smaller diameter pipe as a lever. Pretty important. Page 12 was updated.
