Conduit serves a mechanical/electrical purpose that is all. If you think the job has to win an art contest than that's overbearing nonsense. That guy teaching you may have been a narcissistic mountain of anxiety. Wasting material due to an 1/8" doesn't lead to good workmanship either.

I’m very impressed with how fast he works but definitely could see it be significantly more efficient! It hurts to see people not use the pass through method while bending pipe when you could do it standing up and never have to flip your bender around or do awkward bends. So much extra work being done. And you already know your 90’s are two inches farther apart so you could have just measured all those together to bend them at the same time then cut all together. Cut down on that back and forth between multiple tools. This is why efficiency is much better than speed. Main thing I teach apprentices to also help learn with looking ahead at next steps to come.

Press an aluminum slug into the 1/2 inch EMT bender handle then drill a 7/8+" hole offset flush with an inside edge. The hole is for tweaking using the handle. Slip on a left motorcycle grip to work as a grip and protection for finished or slippery floors. Now back to the regularly scheduled bend off.

@22:25... Called it... A secondary bit of shallow strut support after the offset and closer to the corner 90s would relieve that waiver in the pipe and even out the geometry some more the fact that it was bent in the offset configuration inherently put an instability in that pipe because the run is not flush against the surface for the entire area that would normally touch in an ideal flush mount... that 90 is the axis of a lever and if you support that axis it'll stay there... regardless a little hand tweaking on the corner will smooth it out to the eyeball on any latent tension due to those less than perfect 90s...

I think a similar challenge, but where you not only have to maneuver over one obstruction, but also under another obstruction, such that you're just coming up on a cumulative 360 degrees of bends and the longest parallel should have no cuts or couplers. Basically having to navigate around both hvac and plumbing obstructions without wasting materials.

As a final, have a "beat the engineer" challenge, where there are a set of implementation requirements, which can no longer be met because a 'new obstruction' was not accounted for in the design. This would be a combined code and experience 2-part challenge where the first part is developing a plan to resolve the unaccounted for obstruction issue without using more than 10% more material than the original plans, still meet code, then explain the changes to the 'client' in a request for approval. The obstruction will not be in the plans, so must be accurately measured by the individual competitor before the plan changes can be formulated. Then the proposed changes need to not exceed 10% additional materials 'cost', points gained for each percentage under 10, double points lost for each percentage point over 10. A planned 15% overage will have an automatic 'denial' from the 'client' when explaining the changes and reasoning, when trying to obtain 'approval'. Phase 2 will be implantation, where the competitor must explain to an 'apprentice' chosen from a pool of 'available workers', and the faster your plan is ready and approved, the higher your pick priority, and the pool will have 1 less available apprentice than there are competitors: meaning the last approved (by time, since the 'client' will be the same for all competitors) will not have an 'apprentice' for phase-2. The plan from part-1, then has to be implemented. Any overages here will be docked triple points for each percentage over the part-1 estimated 'cost', up to a total of 15% from the original planned 'cost'. If the part-1 cost was more than 5% more than the original and the implemented 'cost' is more than 2 percentage points less than the part-1 estimate, then there will also be a triple point penalty for each percentage point more than 2 below part-1 'cost', as this will be viewed as trying to stiff the client. There will still be an implementation time limit, which will affect points, too.

@@ericross5048 I figured having something that can really separate the masters of the craft from those who are just master electricians would be appreciated by those who are competitive. Also giving an opportunity to 'show up an engineer' could be a bit fun too. The component of a plumber or hvac contractor encroaching on the space needed for the electrical, despite the plans is an all too real eventuality. So showing off the competitors' ability to cope with the problem is a valuable skill, particularly while balancing time and material costs. All off this together and the competitors have an ideal opportunity to show potential customers why they should be hired on future projects.

With compression conduit connectors would you still install all four connectors at once? I dont think that would allow enough space to turn your channel locks.. ?
@leviwilliams4728 3 жыл бұрын
You work from right to left, it gives you enough space to tighten your connectors from the left hand space. If you wanted to loosen them, you have to work from left to right.
@thorasguardselectrician2013 2 жыл бұрын
No way you could tighten them with close spacing. You'd put up one conduit at a time with the Connectors on it already prepped. So you could still be fast, you'd just prep your pipe with Connectors not the box in that situation. Imo...
