bending
must be included when calculating degrees between pull points
Offsets and Saddles
use the larger size for both conduits
To make matching bends in different size conduit using a mechanical bender
plugs and air pressure
To prevent flattening when bending larger diameter PVC conduit, use
60 to 180-degrees of bend, depending on the type of bends
A saddle bend is counted as
40
You are making a 20-inch offset with two 30 degree bends. The distance between bends is _________
inches.
the amount of travel method to monitor each bend
One method of bending segments is to use _______.
, 13 inches
The minimum bending radius for 3 in RMC is
2" EMT
A mechanical bender may be used to make bends in
Radius of inner pipe + OD of inner pipe + spacing
How do you find the radius of the outer pipe in a concentric bend?
it is difficult to bend consistently and accurately
A disadvantage of aluminum conduit is that
spring-back
in order to make a 90 degree bend in RMC, the conduit is bent to 95 degrees to account for
provide proper ventilation to carry off fumes from the joint cement
An important safety precaution to use when working with PVC conduit is to
three
A saddle to cross a single pipe typically requires ____________ bends.
