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.
Marking the Conduit for 90° Stubs
1. Measure the length of the required stub.
2. Measure and mark this stub length on the conduit. This is
Mark A.
3. See the deduct on the bender casting. Measure and mark
the deduct on the conduit as shown. This is Mark B, or the
bending mark.
