FOR ELECTRICIANS, PLUMBERS & HVAC CONTRACTORS
Pipe & Conduit Calculator
Free cutting optimizer for pipe and conduit. Calculate optimal cuts from standard 10' or 20' sticks to minimize waste. Know exactly how many sticks to order for any job.
Stop Leaving Money in the Scrap Bin
Every job site has a pile of pipe drops and conduit scraps. Some are usable, most get tossed. With copper at $8-15 per foot and even EMT adding up at scale, that waste eats into your margins.
EZNESTING's linear optimizer calculates the most efficient cuts from your stock lengths. Enter the pieces you need, specify your stock (10', 20', or both), and get optimized cut lists in seconds. Prefab in the shop or plan on-site—either way, you order only what you need.
- Reduce scrap by 10-25%
- Know exact stick counts before ordering
- Visual cut diagrams for prefab
- Works for any pipe or conduit type
Materials We Optimize
Real Example: Commercial Electrical Job
See how optimization saves material on a typical conduit run.
✗Without Optimization
- Order 10' sticks (standard)
- Cut as needed on site
- ~22% waste in drops
45 sticks
@ $12/stick = $540
✓With EZNESTING
- Mix of 10' and 20' sticks
- Optimized cut sequence
- ~7% waste
38 sticks
@ $12 avg = $456
$84 saved on conduit alone. Multiply across jobs and it adds up fast.
Built for the Trades
Our linear optimizer handles any material sold in standard lengths.
Features for Contractors
Simple tools that save time and material on every job.
Linear Optimization
Our 1D optimizer calculates the best way to cut required lengths from standard 10' or 20' sticks with minimal waste.
Multiple Stock Lengths
Compare 10' vs 20' sticks, or mix both. See which combination minimizes waste and total cost for your job.
Visual Cut Diagrams
Print cut sheets showing exactly where to cut each stick. Take to the job site or prefab in the shop.
Kerf Compensation
Account for blade or cutter width on each cut. Essential for getting accurate lengths on every piece.
Material Cost Tracking
Enter cost per stick and see total material cost. Compare pricing between suppliers or material types.
Works for Any Linear Material
EMT, rigid, PVC, copper, black iron, PEX—any pipe or conduit sold in standard lengths.
Perfect For
Electrical Contractors
EMT, rigid, and PVC conduit runs. Prefab in the shop or plan cuts before ordering for the job site.
Plumbers
Copper, PEX, CPVC, and black iron. Calculate material for rough-ins and remodels with minimal waste.
HVAC Installers
Refrigerant lines, drain lines, and ductwork supports. Optimize linear materials across the job.
