Bending 20mm Round Electrical Conduit
On Thu, 30 Aug 2007 05:18:21 -0700,
mused:
I've seen installations where this type of conduit has been bent at 90
degree's and at various angles.
My question is how is this done ? Do you have to gently warm the
conduit to do this ? Must the conduit be supported on the inside so
that it doesn't collapse ?
It must be possible but I need to know how ?
PVC conduit you'd use a bending spring on the inside of the bend. The
tube does need to be warm, but not hot air gun warm. Rubbing it with
your hand in a rude manner warms it up enough.
Steel conduit you'd use a floor standing pipe bender, Hilmor would be
the tool of choice here.
