_____1. Offset bend is a double conduit bend with two equal angles bent in opposite

between bends.

inch of offset elevation.

Lesson

1 Box Offset Bend

Conduit Bending Basics:

The conduit benders have been designed for performance and durability
exceeding the expectations of today’s professional. It is recommended to familiarize
yourself with bending concepts, techniques and learn the bender’s functionality to
provide you a positive experience while greatly improving the overall outcome of your
project. Conduit come in two types, EMT and Rigid conduits and can be found in
various sizes. Conduit benders for EMT in ½”, ¾”, 1” and 1-¼” conduit and ½”, ¾”,
and 1” Rigid conduit. To aid bending when performing a ground or air bend, the
benders are marked with different alignment symbols to help the operator create the
bends necessary to accomplish any project. The symbols found on the benders are
the arrow, the teardrop, the star point and angle markings. These markings are
found on various sides of the bender head.

The 4 most common bends to know how to make are the 90° Stub-Up, Back
to Back, Offset and the 3 Point Saddle bends. It is common to use a combination of
the bender markings when making certain tube profiles. Knowing the proper
technique and method of making the bends will allow you to accomplish most
projects efficiently.
Things to remember while bending:

1. A proper bend is made by rolling the conduit about the bender in the conduit’s
cradle using all foot pressure.

2. Use the correct size bender for the conduit size being bent.

3. Some over bending may be required to allow for spring back of the conduit. The

4
 resting condition of the conduit is to be at the final angle desired.

4. Measure and properly mark your conduit using the tables and information
provided.

5. Floor bending: Make sure conduit is secure so it does not slide prior to bending.
Apply ample foot pressure to the benders heel while minimizing the use of the
handle as a lever but more of a guide.

6. Air Bending: Make sure handle’s hilt is secure on ground and is reinforced by your
foot so it does not slide out. Make sure you are balanced and apply force close to
the tool and your body controlling the tubing as you bend it around the bender’s
cradle making sure the conduit does not slide in the bender head.

7. To prevent injury, always wear protective gear and do not over exert.

What’s In

How many steps are there in bending 90° Bend? What is the other term for a
90° Bend? Write your answers in your activity notebook.

What’s New

You are installing 1/2" diameter EMT to the junction box. What type of bend
are you going to use to connect the EMT to the junction box? Write your answer in
your activity notebook.

What is It

Box offset is made of two equal degree bends in opposite directions. It is used
to move the pipe around an object or stagger it up steps or a slope.
(The angle of an offset bend can vary depending on where it is and how steep
the changes of path need to be. The most common use for an offset bend is to create
a staggered joint and to create change in elevation.)

5
1. Prepare all the tools, materials and equipment needed to bend 90° bend.

Tools:
• Pull and push rule
• Try square
• Meter stick
• Conduit Bender
• Marker Pen
• Hacksaw
Materials:
• EMT 1/2"ø or 3/4"ø or RSC 1/2"ø or 3/4"ø

2. And always wear the proper PPE for the job

Personal Protective Equipment:

• Gloves - 1 pair
• Safety goggles
• Safety shoes
• Coverall

PROCEDURE

3. Cut the conduit pipe.

4. Ream the edges.

6
5. Determine/measure the offset distance necessary to clear the obstacle and how
far away the offset will need to be bent from the end of the conduit.

6. Decide what angle you wish to make the offset bend and determine the proper
values from the Offset Formula Table. Calculate the proper values to mark on the
conduit to clear the obstacle and fit in the gap measured.
7. From the table use the 10° X 10° offset row for the values to calculate the series
of markings necessary to make the proper bend. To find out where to place the
first mark on the conduit, multiply the measured Offset Distance to clear the
obstacle by the tables Shrink/Inch that will occur to the conduit after all the bends
are made due to that offset distance.

8. Using the technique to align the bender on the conduit as described under the
Stub-Up Section 5, Place the bender on the conduit with the hook facing away
from the second mark and line up the Arrow Symbol up with the first mark.

9. Keeping the conduit flat, apply ample foot pressure to the bender’s heel minimizing
the use of the handle as a lever, smoothly rolling up the free end until the 10°
mark is reached. When done properly the free end will be at a 10° angle from the
original plane.

7
10. Keeping the bender and conduit together flip the two parts upsides down and
put the bender’s handle hilt on the floor, balancing the conduit in the air, allow
the conduit to rotate 180° in the cradle. Slide the conduit down so the first bend
is moving away from the bender head, aligning the second mark as outlined
before using the Arrow Symbols.

11. The second bend of the offset is accomplished by performing an air-bend. Make
sure the handle hilt is secure on ground and is reinforced by your foot so it does
not slide out. Make sure you are balanced and apply force close to the tool and
your body controlling the tubing as you bend it around the bender’s.
12. Perform good housekeeping.
