7. 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 45° mark is reached.
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.
8. Keeping the bender and conduit together, flip
the two parts upside 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 1
st
return
bend mark with the Arrow Symbol (See Stub-Up
section, note 5).
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.
9. The second bend of the saddle bend is
accomplished 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.
