Place one foot on the bender as illustrated. Use heavy foot pressure

on the bending shoe; maintain this pressure throughout the bend.

4. Look down the line of sight as illustrated. Stop bending when the

pin is in line with the appropriate angle mark.

Note: Overbend rigid conduit slightly to compensate for springback.

Bending — Handle Down (cont’d)

1. Mark the conduit.

2. Insert the conduit into the bender so that the arrow is aligned with

the bending mark.

3. Position the bender as shown, with your body as close to the bender

as possible.

4. With the handle angled to prevent slipping, apply constant pressure

against the conduit throughout the bend.

5. Bend until the edge of the conduit is in line with the degree scale as

illustrated.

Note: Overbend rigid conduit slightly to compensate for springback.

Bending Tips:

• Line up all bends in the same plane.

• Bend 1/2" and 3/4" EMT with the handle down.

• Bend 1" and 1-1/4" conduit with the handle up.

• When bending with the handle up, work at a stairwell or loading dock

so that previously made bends hang over the edge.

Offset Bends

An offset is used to re-route the conduit to avoid an obstruction.

An offset consists of two equal opposing bends.

Two factors must be considered when selecting the offset angle. First, a

steeper bend angle will require more pulling force. Second, a shallower

bend angle will require more space.

1. Determine the center-to-center distance. Use one of these two

methods:

• Find the appropriate multiplier in the Offset Table, Column 2.

(For 45° x 45°, the multiplier is 1.4). Multiply the height of the

obstruction by the multiplier (10" x 1.4 = 14).

•

See the Greenlee Speed Guide for Offsets. In the Offset Depth Inches

column, ﬁnd the row with the appropriate amount of offset. Find

the Center-to-Center column under the appropriate OFFSET ANGLE.

The distance shown at the intersection of the appropriate row and

column is the center-to-center distance. (Under Offset Depth Inches,

see the row labeled “10”. Read to the right to ﬁnd the Center-to-

Center distance under 45° x 45°. The number shown is 14".)

2. Mark the conduit as shown.

Working Toward an Obstruction

When working toward an obstruction, the conduit will appear to “shrink.”

To compensate for shrinkage, use the shrink per inch of offset as

shown in the Offset Table, Column 3 or the Shrink Amount shown in the

Greenlee Speed Guide for Offsets.

Example 2: 45° x 45°, Working Toward an Obstruction

10 inches of offset

1. Calculate the shrinkage. See the Offset Table, Column 3. (The

amount of shrink for 45° x 45° offsets is 3/8" per inch of offset

depth. 3/8 x 10 = 3-3/4")

2. Measure the distance to the obstruction. Add the shrinkage to this

distance. (See the illustration. The distance to the obstruction is 30".

30" + 3-3/4" = 33-3/4)

3. Determine the center-to-center distance. Use one of these two

methods:

• Find the appropriate multiplier in the Offset Table, Column 2.

(For 45° x 45°, the multiplier is 1.4). Multiply the height of the

obstruction by the multiplier (10" x 1.4 = 14).

• See the Greenlee Speed Guide for Offsets. In the Offset Depth

Inches column, ﬁnd the row with the appropriate amount of offset.

Find the Center-to-Center column under the appropriate OFFSET

ANGLE. The distance shown at the intersection of the appropriate

row and column is the center-to-center distance. (Under Offset

Depth Inches, see the row labeled “10”. Read to the right to ﬁnd

the Center-to-Center distance under 45° x 45°. The number

shown is 14".)

4. Mark the conduit as shown.

5. See the bending instructions.

3-Bend Saddles

Like an offset, a saddle is used to avoid an obstruction. In this case,

three bends are used. The ﬁrst and last bends are of the same degree;

the center bend is twice the number of degrees of the other two bends.

See the illustrations.

Example 3: 3-Bend Saddle 45° center bend, 2" obstacle

1. Calculate the shrinkage. See the Greenlee Offset Table, Column 3.

(The amount of shrink for a 22-1/2° bend is 3/16" per inch of

obstacle. 3/16" x 2 = 3/8").

Measure the distance to the center of the obstruction. Mark with this

distance on the conduit – this is point “A”. Add the amount of shrink to

this distance. (Place the mark 15-3/8" from the end of the conduit.)

3. Refer to the Table for 45° Saddles for the locations of Mark B and

Mark C. (Place both marks, Mark B and Mark C, 5 inches from Mark A.)

4. Use the bending sequence as illustrated. Align Mark A with the

notch near the star. Align Marks B and C with the arrow.
