THE STUFF SOLD AS CONDUIT
THE STUFF SOLD AS CONDUIT
there are all kinds of tricks to sometimes not kink or waffle the stuff they sell nowdays as conduit, i have had a greenlee 1818 bender for about 14 years,( bought it new)
it sometimes will bend 1-1/4, 1-1/2, and 2" emt conduit without kinks or waffles, i have tried every trick in the book sometimes they work and most of the times they do not work. greenlee blames it on the conduit maufactuer, & the manufacturers blame it on the bender. i have seen a 6'-3" 275 lb man hanging up in the air on the handle on
brand w... 2" emt conduit and would not bend, it must have been the structural grade emt or imatation chain link fence post conduit???, we have had brand w, and
brand a, kink every other bend, kick or offset, you can get one batch and it will bend ok, the next batch it will kink, split, waffle, or is so hard your bend will not be symetrical
or smooth. what they sell today for emt, imc, and rigid must come off of the same line a plumbers pipe it is hard to thread, bend, or work with in general, it will be
rusty and or rough inside. you can go into a renovation job where you are removing the old conduit and take the straight pieces and reuse them, they will bend and or thread easily. this new stuff nowdays is junk. the only conduit which we use most of the time anymore which is hard to get is republic. and no the manufacter does not stand
behind their product, on either the bender or the so called conduit.
