600B RACEWAY BENDER

Installation Instruction No.: 28373R1 – Updated April 2004
The 600B consists of: Iron bender, two
sections of 3/4" [19.1mm] galvanized steel
pipe handle and extra-strong coupling.
• Bending with tool in air. Apply hand pressure as close to the tool as possible. Keep pressure
close to the groove for smoother bends and greater accuracy.
• Bending on floor. Work on hard surfaces. Avoid soft sand or deep pile carpets.
• Degree scale. One side of the tool (closed hook side) is scaled for V500 raceway.
The opposite, open hook side, is scaled for V700.
• Zero (0°) degree line. The zero degree line in bottom of groove adjacent to the hook is the
beginning point of the bend.
• Rim notches. The rim notches closest to the hook indicate exact center of a 45° bend.
Numerals “500” and “700” tell which notch to use for which size raceway.
The Raceway at left could be precut to a
49-1/2" [1257mm] length.
10" + 30" + 14" = 54"
[254mm] + [762mm] + [356mm] = [1372mm]
54" less two “GAINS” (4 1/2") = 49 1/2"
[1372mm] less [114mm] = [1257mm]
The “GAIN” on the 600B tool is 2 1/4" [57mm] for
a 90° sweep or 1 1/8" [29mm] for a 45° bend.
