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 the stub length on the conduit. This is Mark A.
3. See the Deduct length shown on the bender. Subtract the Deduct
length from Mark A and make a new mark. This is Mark B.
4. Align Mark B with the arrow on the bender and bend the conduit
to 90°.
