All yea been there before used tractor trailer tires also.

that's beautiful work. I always do my bends on the flat (kicks at the clg) but that's probably cause I don't have the time or the skill to do it like that.

I worked with a guy that would bend 3- 1/2" emt ninety's with a 1 1/4 bender.

It did when I tried it, but I watched that guy that I used to work with do it just fine. The conduit looks funny with that big of a radius.

i used a 555 to bend those, the kicks aren't 10' long (supported every 10'), the kick away from the wall was used to allow for other pipes that may possibly need to be run for the machinery thats going in. (interlocks, ethernet and such). if they were kicked up high, most of that rack would be blocked. and back to backs SUCK to pull through when they're that close...

as for whacking multiple 90's in small conduit with a large shoe, i've duct taped them together at both ends staggered. sometimes its a hit or miss. gotta be able to burn a few sticks doin that though, kinkage is possible.

william1978

I'm glad to see that I am not the only one to have seen this done before.

azsly1

only tried it once with some scrap left over while we were waiting for programmers to clear us to pack up and leave... still gotta tweak the bends a bit but the radius looked like it would work. (3/4" next to a 2")

Beautiful work dude. I dont care what anyone says that's pretty impressive.

Your work shown here is one of the best installations I have seen. Your pictures, with your perrmission, will be added to my training library with a credit line given to you, so that they can be used to show that these are some of the reasons why we can claim to be a Qualified Person and identify compliance with Section 110.12 Mechanical Execution of Work.

I would want to verify compliance with Section 314.28 Pull and Junction Boxes and Conduit Bodies (A)(2).

thanks for all the compliments, i like taking pride in my work. it took a while to get to this point and i cant lie, thats the work of me and another guy.

joe, no prob., they're all yours.

Definitely Commendable !
I can just imagine what some of the jobs I see would look like if the E/C had to make the same transition.
What size is the box 24 x 24 ?

azsly1

speaking of other schleps on site, it sucks when your stuff looks good, and they put up ****. brand new installation and people are putting up trash looking work. depends on how you look at it though, it either stands out to the customer as being well built and we get more work, or why didnt the other jackass do a better job?

yes, that box is a 24x24

steelersman

I agree. I would have done it this way also.

But it looks damn good though nonetheless.
