Description
* Description: This workshop teaches precise conduit planning and clean bends so EMT and PVC runs look professional and pull easily. You will learn how to read the environment—ceiling grid, soffits, mechanical obstacles—and select supports and fittings that meet spacing and load rules. A bend calculator and take‑up chart help you pull off 90s, offsets, and saddles without guesswork, whether you bend by hand or on a table bender. Examples show how to maintain conductor fill limits, avoid excessive degrees of bend, and position junctions where pulling tension stays humane. You’ll practice rapid layout with chalk and laser, mark centers and shrink, and verify with a square before committing the bend. The workshop covers bonding jumpers, expansion fittings for temperature changes, and drip loops for exterior entries. Detail shots demonstrate strap placement, coupler alignment, and labeling so inspectors and future techs can trace routes fast. A mistakes gallery explains kinks, dog‑legs, and twist—and how to correct them without starting over. Job cards standardize measurements, fitting counts, and hardware lists for accurate prefabrication. The result is tidy, inspectable conduit that saves pull time and reduces rework on punch lists. All examples assume de‑energized conditions and proper PPE; local code takes precedence in every decision.
* Format: Video walkthroughs, bend calculator sheet, take‑up charts, job cards, and printable conduit layout guides.
* Duration: 2 hours of instruction plus a 45‑minute layout lab.
* What You’ll Learn: Offsets and saddles, degree management, fill limits, support spacing, labeling, and repair of common bend errors.
* Target Audience: Trainees and working installers improving the quality and speed of EMT/PVC runs.
