What sort of Pipe?can you bend pipe?
Joe it’s not that hard to bend pipe and I’ve install pipe from 1/2 inch to 3 inch galvanized conduit. You just need a bender and know the formulas. If you truly want to be an electrician you will have to learn to bend saddles, 90 degrees, 45 degrees and 30 degrees offsets. Practice makes perfect.can you bend pipe?
or tube.? ?Plumbers use pipe
electricians use conduit
or tube.? ?
Really I didn’t know thatPlumbers use pipe
electricians use conduit
Not always Mainly in industrial applications @pc1966Americans use EMT
@telectrix If we are installing a parallel run of conduit like 3000 amps yes we run multiple conduits unless the customer wants tray cableor tube.? ?
we tend to use trunking for the multiple cables, dropping down in conduit for each accessory. i understand that Americans tend to use multiple runs of conduit.
omg the arrogance of my trade, I swear. never ONCE did I say i didnt know how to bend pipe. I was asking people IN OTHER COUNTRIES how common is it.
Second... its not "conduit" its PIPE. if you commonly call emt, "conduit" instead of Pipe, thats your problem. we are in different parts of the planet and people use different terminology. however, 'conduit' can include PVC or MC
when you say "can you bend pipe" everyone knows what that is

@pc1966 you just taught me something new. I didn’t know that they even made different colors of conduit.Welcome.
I think some of this was intended as humor but did not work out as funny.
Incidentally I looked up a bit more on the USA stuff after @Megawatt comment and found this stuff, fantastic:
Color EMT and Conduit | Wheatland Tube
Color EMT and rigid conduit make it easy to identify critical circuits without spray painting or taping. It’s comes in 8 vivid colors.www.wheatland.com
1 of the reasons is DEPTH. capping or oval tube can be buried plaster depth. 20mm round conduit requires chasing into brick.In Northern Ireland and I think Southern Ireland in domestic we use PVC pipe. Into every box. Never ever used capping etc. No idea why but the rest of the UK seem to not have to use it. Anyone know the reason?
