Conduit Bending Module Six – 26204 -11

Upon completion of this module, you will be able to do the following: 1. Describe the process of conduit bending using power tools. Identify all parts of electric and hydraulic benders . Bend offsets, kicks, saddles, segmented, and parallel bends. Explain the requirements of the National Electrical Code ® ( NEC ® ) for bending conduit. Compute the radius, degrees in bend, developed length, and gain for conduit up to six inches. Objectives

Under supervision of the instructor, you should be able to do the following: 1. Use an electric or hydraulic bender to bend a 1" conduit stub-up to an exact distance of 15¼" above the deck. 2. Make an offset in a length of conduit to miss a 10" high obstruction with a clearance between the obstruction and the conduit of not less than 1" nor more than 1½". 3. Make a saddle in a length of conduit to cross an 8" pipe with 1" clearance between the pipe and the conduit. Performance Tasks
