Re: Bending Aluminum Tubing

[jeff-register]

In the past being an Electrical Contractor we had to place raceways for communications. We bent 3/4" aluminum conduit in a EMT tubing bender. Only issue was the phone company only allowed 270 degrees at most between junction boxes. I don’t remember anything different about bending aluminum. Maybe it was a thicker wall than EMT but we had no issues. Then again the new Ford trucks lost 700 pounds going to aluminum but damage was replacement not bending straight again. That had to be over 20 years ago for running aluminum tubing. Many things have changed from back 20 years except the price of gasoline ;)!!
