Example: Consider making a 14” stub, using a 3/4” EMT conduit. Step 1. The IDEAL bender indicates stubs 6” to ↑. Simply subtract the take-up, or 6”, from the finished stub height. In this case 14” minus 6” = 8”. - Page 4 How to Make Back-To-Back Bends A back-to-back bend produces a “U” shape in a single length of conduit. Use the same technique for a conduit run across the floor or ceiling which turns up or down a wall. Example: Step 1. After the first 90° bend has been made, measure to the point where the back of the second bend is to be, “B”.
- Page 5 How to make an Offset Bend The offset bend is used when an obstruction requires a change in the conduit’s plane. Before making an offset bend, you must choose the most appro- priate angles for the offset. Keep in mind that shallow bends make for easier wire pulling, steeper bends conserve space.

- Page 7 Important: Use the same calculation for either set of angles. Example: Step 1. You encounter a 3” O.D. pipe 4 feet from the last coupling. The formula shown in the chart below indicates that for each inch of outside diameter of the obstruction, you must move your center mark ahead 3/16”...
