You are the best at explaining, and you’re not even holding a pipe or bending while doing it. Bravo, man. Your explanations have helped immensely.

Who gave this guy a thumb down... He one of the best to explain bends and more.... Thank you Craig

Been running pipe for years and never had this explained to me. Great video

Mr. Michaud, I'm a 53 year old guy who's enrolled in an Electrical Technology program at the local university. I greatly appreciate your attention to detail and visual aids to help me understand the specifics in conduit bending and all your electrical videos. I'm glad I subscribed. Thank you, sir.

Thanks maestro for all your advice and i love to watch your videos thanks again

Enjoyed the video and glad you finally mentioned what everyone wanted to hear from the beginning. Exactly "where" to add the shrinkage is something most of the KZfaqrs forget to mention.

Been waiting on you to make this shrinkage vid! Decided today to do a little studying on the matter and viola, you uploaded this recently! Thank you 1000 times

Thank you so much for this Craig, your entire channel is an absolute boon. I hope you can make more content. Thank you.

Hi Craig. I just want to thank you for your videos. I got my electrician license last year, your videos helped me o lot to understand electricity and codes. God bless you. Thank you 🙏

Thank you very much please keep making videos.

I have came across your videos and no one has ever showed me the proper way to bend conduit. I have always made it work and cut off whatever but this helps especially being in HVACR and not ever going through classes for bending conduit. Thanks again

Thank you this video helped me grasp the concept of shrinkage I subscribed Thank you soo much

Huge help brother, no more coming down from the ladder because my bend is 1 1/4 inches too long

My man. Your channel is awesome. I am an electrician as well and do youtube and make electrical videos as well. . Your channel is very helpful and I enjoy watching your explanations. Keep them coming my friend and you now have a new sub. Great job!!!

I’m a plumber, and this video helped me out today. There’s a real shortage in stainless steel compression fittings where I’m from right now. So I had to make as many bends as possible(lines are for a detergent system in a train shop)

Craig I don't know what to say both you are amazing brother

Thank you bro you are awesome, please continue doing what you do.

Great job explaining 👏

Great job!

Thank you for sharing your knowledge. Great information.

Great job Craig

Just what I was missing my guy thank you this makes perfect sense

awesome videos, I am currently doing conduit bending in class and these videos are so helpful! thank you!

Dude thank you so much I finally understood the assignment 🙌

Thank You so much for this video ‼️🎉👌🏾

Love this, very informative.

I keep on forgetting how to do the calculation even after I bend it right, this is a nice video thanks.

Perfect. Well Done.

Great video and very helpful.

6:50 that's all I needed. Thank you. I will try to calculate shrinkage. If I fail, I know where I'm coming

Thank you so much for everything.

You are the best , thk for your help

Good job, keep up the good work

Great teacher

Great detail

Looking forward to the video ...thank u

Very helpful explanation THANKS

great info.

Clear explanation, perhaps in the future video need to show actual measurement actual conduit and the difference or displacement of bended conduit that shrinkages realy affects the lenght of the conduit. Thank you for sharing your expertise.

Very informative video thanks for sharing !!! Thanks craig

Thanks for this video brother

yes great video it did help.

Gracias por la informacion

I’m having such a hard time with this concept could you make a video of what would happen if you used shrink and what would happen if you did not use it just to visualize it. that would be so helpful. Thank you so much for the great content.

awesome thank you!

Good vídeo broh..blesses for yoy

Thank you

Thank you 🙏

Gracias

Just a quick question. What would be the shrinkage on a 60 degree kick... or a 30 degree kick. So basically not the full off set. Cant find the answer anywhere. Thx bro.

Thanks you

thak you so much.

So if you have a 7.5 rise and are bending a 45, it is calculated at 3/8” per inch. What is done with the 1/2”? Thank you sir

Can you do a video of a hands on example of conduit shrinkage if you havent done it already?

I've been watching your conduit bending videos. They are really helpful for a trainee like me. Thank you, Craig.

Wouldve been awesome if you showed an example 👍🏾

Do you have a video about how to bend a 4 point offset from a starting point? I.e. from the end of last pipe to the offset and over it.

Proofreading this video that my apprentice found. He was an arbitrary bender (lower class than 30°) that sought out deeper explanation beyond what I was showing him. Please include Kicking a 90° as an offset and why bending on centers is a cheaters way to do easier shrinkage calculations.

thanks

Hi Craig does the size of the pipe change the shrinkage ? Also this always confused me, if I have a 4 inch square box mounted to the wall and I have a hole drilled in the floor the pipe is lets say 12 inches to the wall so I need to offset the pipe to go un to the box, would I make the offset 12 inches or would I minus the distance of the knockout in the box ?

do u have a video on shrinkage with example problems?

A Craig I like you video

If you do a 22.5, 45, 22.5 - 3 pt saddle , what shrinkage do u use . The 22.5 degree or the 45 degree ? Thanks in advance Paul

This helped but I would love to see this in action with an obstruction and pipe hands on thank none the less 🙏🏼

What about saddle bends how do you do shrinkage Do you use the number for the 45 or the number for 22?

Do you know the trig calculation behind the shrinkage numbers?

👍

Can you make a video with this same subject using a four sadle bend not cutting the conduit and having start Pont and ending point I will appreciate it if you do a video like that with the drawing/math and the actual bending process again thanks

So if I have a 4 inch offset I add 1 inch at my first bend to make it 5 and my second mark would be 8 for a 30° offset

Make a Video on all the calculations of the bends, need some help

Hell yeah

Hi bud great info it will be nice if you show it in a peace of pipe bud

Is "shrinkage" the same thing as "take-up?"

George Costanza knows about shrinkage, I'd try and learn from him as well

Did you bend those conduits behind you? None match, where was the planning?

I bend all in a row. I've found that you're shrinkage is wrong the way bend. I bend at 30°and I've found that my way is much faster and way more accurate too. My shrinkage is 3" per bend regardless of the height. So I mark my 1st line with the bender at the end of the 4 point, facing the end of the stick, the distance from the bend of the show to the flat party is roughly 3-1/4" just at that to each bend and your can place it down properly with no issues for a30°bend 4 point saddle andhow bend takes like 2 minutes. Just letting your know cause your normally have to turn the bender 2 times in each direction. My way is better and faster cause your can eyeball it and bend in the air

He’s good but too much beating around the bush.
