Pvc conduit bending springs

Seem to be not much knowledge on pvc conduit bending here don't suppose it is of much interest outside the trade. Used to bend it all the time,just have to bend it a bit further because it springs back a little,we used to bend over 90 degrees often but if you want a tight bend better use fittings, it is much cheaper to bend as it saves fittings and cable pulls round curves easily

It's a 'knee brace'. Trouble is, that search term gets you lots of pictures of knees. "Steel knee brace" is better.

knee brace bracket is better too. bracket knee brace is good too

Look for the brand 'unistrut' if you want singular steel brace type.

I wouldn't have thought there would be much interest *within* the "trade" either these days. The bloke over the road from me is an industrial electrician, and whenever he needs a "bend" that can't be satisfied with one of the pre-formed ones he just uses corro.

Time is money.

Strut or brace is what I call them, but knee strut brace - I wasn't aware of that one.

I guess the need to do it is largely negated by the flexible corrugated type

Yep.

Same in automotive parts. Used that system a lot. Makes sense to put the noun first, adjectives secondary.

Nothing astonishes Noddy so much as common sense and plain dealing.

It certainly makes the *warehousing* process a lot easier.

Good thing sniping is damned near impossible on the move.

That's why they have GE M-134 miniguns in the helos.

Ah, the drive-bys aren't a problem. It's the *resident snipers* you need to watch - like Noddy and Co. They tell you that they've killfiled you but read everything you post and then snipe from behind their *killfails*.

Nah, the residents - you know who they are, they're easy to keep an eye on.

Well, you've certainly got a point there! EG, Noddy, only need to point out his *lies* and he goes to jelly, killfiles you and snipes.

I just can't understand why you just don't grab some bar or pipe and do it. All this stuff about annealing etc. makes it into a scientific endeavor. Do you have any experience drilling holes or putting a bit of bar in a vice and bending it ?

I asked what it was called. Who are you to judge whether I should use a different approach?
