Bending plastic conduit

[morqthana]

Just eat a vindaloo the night before and f.rt on it.

Anyone else ever blow down a length of conduit making an elephant noise? You can scare the £%#@ out of people

 

[morqthana]

No, but I've whirled a length of flexible conduit round and round above my head and made an ear-piercing screech.

Doesn't even rub it this chap...

No it's not required if the conduit is warm enough, and by that I don't mean hot.

At typical comfortable environmental temp conduit will bend with a spring quite happily, repeating what I wrote earlier; I find rubbing a small patch just adds a little more control on the point of bend, reducing the tension and therefore distortion of adjacent areas.

Agreed but I always give it a rub, out of habit probably

I once tried using flevible conduit on the outlet of a vacuum cleaner to blow dust from voids...

I think it lasted just long enough to reach full speed before the nois was too much.

Yes me too but I do think it produces a cleaner bend, especially if more than a little set.

Back in the day one of the jokers in the workshop would pick up any length of conduit and do the elephant call, a couple of other jokers dipped the end of a length in the common urinal and left it in a prominent position..........

We used to put oildag (a light but sticky oil loaded with fine graphite) on telephone ear pieces. Nothing nasty, just funny.
