Bending Tips

For greater accuracy. Bear down with heavy foot pressure. Pin the conduit tight to the floor throughout the full arc.
Uniform long radii. Mark conduit in even increments and bend in even amounts at each mark.
Stub-Ups in narrow partitions. Bend a "Kick" in the conduit a few inches away from the partition... A conventional radius bend will then fit into a narrow space because it enters obliquely.
Bending both legs of an offset on floor. Make the second bend on a slightly raised platform (a 2" x 4" will usually do) or bend at edge of a loading dock, stairwell, etc. This allows first bend to hang in free air.
Avoiding crooked offsets. A chalk line on conduit permits alignment at identical registry points on the tool. Thus multiple bends are kept in the same plane.
Bending with tool in air. Apply hand pressure as close to the tool as possible... even if uncomfortable. Keep pressure close to the groove. Tucking conduit under armpit helps. To maintain balance allow the tool to rock forward as you make the bend.

Benders for 1/2" EMT have cast-in offset formula and multiplier, providing instant, on-the-spot information for making accurate offset-angle bends.

Depth x multiplier = Distance Between Bends

The "Multiplier Scale" opposite the degree scale makes it quick and easy to follow the formula.

EXAMPLE:

To make an offset 5" deep with 45" bends:
5" x 1.4 = 7"
1. Place marks 7" apart.
2. Make a 45° bend at each mark.

NOTE: On all Benfield Benders, a straight up handle (vertical to floor) indicates a 30° bend.
