AM2S Section A2-A6: Part 2: PVC Conduit

In this practical electrical installation training video, you'll learn how to accurately fabricate a 20mm PVC conduit featuring a bubble set over an obstacle and a 90-degree bend, all formed from a single length of conduit. Designed for electrical apprentices, trainees, and anyone developing conduit fabrication skills, this tutorial demonstrates the complete process from planning and measuring through to bending, cutting, fitting, and making final adjustments. The video begins by covering essential workshop safety, including the requirement for appropriate PPE when working in a training environment. It then introduces the installation scenario, where a conduit run must pass neatly over an obstacle before terminating into a double box connected to three-compartment dado trunking, while maintaining correct segregation of mains and data services. Throughout the tutorial you'll learn: How to plan and measure a PVC conduit installation before making any bends. Why the bubble set should always be formed before the 90-degree bend. How to accurately position a bubble set so it remains centred over an obstacle. Achieving approximately 20mm clearance above an obstruction. Understanding the critical measurements that ensure the finished conduit aligns correctly with fixed accessories. Marking out equal bend positions to produce a symmetrical bubble set. Using a PVC conduit bending spring correctly to prevent the conduit from collapsing. Heating PVC conduit safely to make bending easier and reduce the risk of splitting. Forming smooth bends while maintaining the recommended bend radius. Tips for controlling bend orientation and avoiding twist during fabrication. Checking the bubble set against the obstacle before completing the final bend. Measuring and forming the final 90-degree bend to ensure accurate alignment with trunking and accessories. How to make small corrections if the conduit is slightly over or under length. Cutting the conduit to length and fitting it into trunking adapters and saddles. Final checks to confirm alignment, clearance, and a professional finished installation. This video focuses on the techniques used in electrical training workshops and demonstrates the methods apprentices are expected to develop when working towards industry standards. By understanding the measuring process before making any bends, you'll greatly improve the accuracy of your conduit work and reduce wasted materials. Whether you're preparing for your practical assessments, improving your conduit bending skills, or simply looking to produce neater, more professional installations, this step-by-step guide will help you build confidence with PVC conduit fabrication.
