Gardner Bender Hand Bend Guide - Manual (Page 8)

Back-to-Back Bends
Measure and mark distance on the conduit
from a fixed point (X), to the back of the 90˚
bend, point (Y). Align (Y) with (B) on bender
and make a 90˚ bend.
3-Point Saddle Bends
Measure the diameter (D) of the object (not to
exceed 6"). Take length (L) and add
3 ⁄ 16 " for
every inch of the object size. Mark this length
(C) from the end of the conduit. Multiply
diameter (D) by 2.5 and mark this length to
the left (X) and right (Y) of point (C). Align
point (C) with (A) on the bender and make a
45˚ bend. Reverse conduit with bender, line
up arrow on bender with point (X) and make
a 22
1 ⁄ 2 ˚ bend. Repeat with point (Y).
