little kicker...

[Karl H]

I have seen lots of guys who could eyeball and bend an offset for a box without measuring and it fit perfectly the first time.

You don't measure a "box offset" for 4sq,411,1900,2100,handy,bell,

3/0,4/0 etc.Well I don't anyway.

I have seen alot of installations where the person who installed it thought that was the case, but it looked dog-legged, cattywampused, or didnt match the other offsets around it... they may be able to pull it off when its one by itself, but I seriously doubt they are consistent enough to do it ten times in a row on the same wall and look as good as when you use a kicker...

yes but can you do it with .... a GB?

Can anyone ?

I think 99.9% of electricians who are proficient with pipe bending can eye ball a box offset.

I defy any electrician to make a rack of any size pipe with offsets and other bends to line up perfectly just by eyeballing it. Furthermore, I have yet to see someone make an offset by eye without having to readjust it at least one time.

Bring it on!

But how do you bend pipe while wearing flip flops?

We have flip flops for every occasion.Driving flip flops,going to the beach

flip-flops,pulling wire flip flops,trimming flip flops,bending conduit

flip-flops, and PPFFE's.

Oh for you East Coasters that's Personal Protection Flip-flop equipment.

Where can I get steel-toe flip-flops?

 

[celtic]

I need some 1kv rated FF's

Oh, for those you have to go to a Pipe Fitter Flip Flop

wholesale house.You have to demonstrate the abillity to

use a "Chain Fall" to grab them like those games where you put in

a quarter and grab stuffed animals with a little crane like you see at arcades

or pizza joints,etc. If your able to grab your Steel-Toed flip flops

without dropping them then and only then will you be able to

purchase them.I think that is cert. programn in the Pipe Fitters union.

But, what do I know I'm only a electrician.

No offense to Pipe Fitters,they can beat me up!

 

[George Stolz]

Is this thread about pipe bending or flip flops?

category IV level protection. the bottom of the soles are orange.... when
that wears thru, you need a new set. certified to 1000v.

i can personally assure you that rainbow sandals (san calamete, ca) are
good for 480. not recommended for either welding or cadweld. sorry.
