3. From the table use the 45° X 45° offset row for the values to calculate the series of markings
necessary to make the proper bend. To find out where to place the first mark on the conduit,
multiply the measured Offset Distance to clear the obstacle by the tables Shrink/Inch that will
occur to the conduit after all the bends are made due to that offset distance or:
(Offset Distance) X (Shrink/Inch) = Total Shrink.
Example: 6” X .375 = 2.25” of total shrink.
This value is then added to the measured Distance to Obstacle number or:
(Distance to Obstacle) + (Total Shrink) = First Mark Distance.
Example: 20” + 2.25” = 22.25” to make first mark.
To calculate the second mark needed on the conduit, multiply the measured Offset Distance by
the Constant Multiplier of the table or:
(Offset Distance) X (Constant Multiplier) = Second Mark Distance (Distance between Marks).
Example: 6” X 1.4 = 8.4” between 1
st
& 2
nd
mark.
This calculated value is how far apart to make your marks from each other on the conduit and
where to make your 45° bends.
4. Using the technique to align the
bender on the conduit as
described under the Stub-Up
Section 5, Place the bender on
the conduit with the hook
facing away from the second
mark and line up the Arrow
Symbol up with the first mark.
