10. Remove bender and place it back on the
conduit on the other side of the center bend with the
hook facing the center bend as before aligning Arrow
Symbol (See Stub-Up section, note 5). On the 2 nd
return bend mark.
Note: Some over bending may be required to allow for spring back
of the conduit. The resting condition of the conduit is to be at the
final angle desired
11. The last bend of the saddle bend
is made again by performing an air-
bend. Make sure 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 cradle. Bend the free end until
the 22.5° mark is reached.
It is very important to keep all the bends in the same plane. If not, the offset will be skewed and will
not produce the desired shape. If this happens some correcting can be done to properly align the legs
depending on how out of shape they are. When the bend is done properly the conduit will lay flat and
will fit the measured distance to obstacle, clear the object and return to the original line continuing the
run as desired.
In some installations there will be a need to cut down the unbent side of the conduit to another desired length to fit the installation. Use a tube
cutter for smooth precise cutting and burr removal to ensure the safety of the electrical wiring when pulled through. A hacksaw can be
substituted as long as the tubing’s cut edge is prepared properly.
