Three-Bend Saddle - Greenlee 555 Instruction Manual

Additional Bending Instructions (cont'd)
Working Toward an Obstruction
1. Select the size and type of conduit. Measure the
height of the obstruction and the distance labeled
LENGTH TO END OF SECOND BEND. Determine
the angle to be used.
2. Find the table that corresponds to the size and type
of conduit selected in Step 1.
3. Under the column labeled ANGLE, find the appro-
priate angle. Find the row labeled Z. In the row at
the top of the page, find the height (H) of the offset.
The number shown at the intersection of the Z row
and the H column is Z. Subtract Z from LENGTH
TO THE END OF SECOND BEND. Place the first
bending mark this distance from the end of the
conduit.
4. In the same column, find the row labeled L1. Place
the second bending mark L1 inches from the first
bending mark.
5. Bend the conduit.

THREE-BEND SADDLE

1. Select the size and type of conduit. Measure the
height of the obstruction and the distance from the
end of the conduit to the center (LENGTH TO
CENTER) of the bend. Determine the angle to be
used.
2. Find the table that corresponds to the size and type
of conduit selected in Step 1.
3. Under the column labeled ANGLE, find the appro-
priate angle. Find the row labeled Z. In the row at
the top of the page, find the height (H) of the offset.
The number shown at the intersection of the Z row
and the appropriate H column is Z. Subtract Z from
the LENGTH TO CENTER. Place the first bending
mark this distance from the end of the conduit.
4. In the same column, find the row labeled L1. Place
the second bending mark L1 inches from the first
bending mark.
5. In the same column, find the row labeled L2. Place
the third bending mark L2 inches from the second
bending mark.
6. Bend the conduit.
