Position the tool on raceway
so the “STAR-POINT”
symbol is opposite the
finish line desired. The
STAR-POINT indicates
where the back of any
angle bend will lie
(1° to 90° inclusive).

To make a 3/8" [9.5mm] deep offset in either
V500 or V700 Raceway:
Place two marks on raceway 2 1/4" [57mm]
apart and make 10° bends as shown.
* The “shrink table” column tells where to place the first mark. If stringing raceway towards an obstruction,
place the first mark on raceway beyond edge of obstruction distance shown in shrink table. If offsetting
away from obstruction ignore shrink.
BEND WITH MARK ON RACEWAY OPPOSITE ARROW ON TOOL
Shrink Column above indicates where to
place the first mark. The 10" offset
illustrated (with 45° bends) would shorten
the raceway 10 x 3/8" or 3 3/4" [254mm x
9.5mm x 95mm]. Therefore place 1st
mark 3 3/4" [95mm] beyond the edge of
beam to allow for this shrink.
Example:
Making a saddle in 500 or
700 raceway over a 2"
[51mm] diameter. pipe.

EXAMPLE:
To offset under 10" [254mm] beam:
1. Select angle of bends.
2. Multiply offset depth by
proper Constant Multiplier.
3. Depending on the angle of
bends, the distance between
bends for a 10" [254mm]
offset is...
STEP ONE
STEP TWO
Make a 45° bend with “A” oppo-
site deepest rim notch on tool.
STEP THREE
Make a 22.5° bend at “B” (mark
“B” at zero degree line on tool)
STEP FOUR
Make a 22.5° bend at “C” (mark
“C” at zero degree line on tool)
STEP FIVE
Note: The center on a “3 Bend” Saddle
shifts (shortens) 3/16" [4.8mm]
for every inch of saddle depth.
