Gardner Bender offers replacement instruction manuals for most models as free downloads. Consider making a 14” stub, using a 3/4”EMT conduit. Step 1. The IDEALbender indicates stubs 6” to ↑. Simply subtract the take-up, or 6”, from the finished stub height. In this case 14” minus 6” = 8”. Step 2. Mark the conduit 8” from the end. Step 3. Line up the Arrow on the bender with the mark on the conduit and bend to 90°.File Size: 1MB. degree bends or “kicks” in PVC. Use an EMT bender to bend 30 ° kick in the PVC conduit by bending it to 60 ° and then the conduit will spring back to 30 °. This will only work on ½” or ¾” PVC and only for small bends, but it is fast and pretty acc urate.

Take up: amount of conduit to bend. Height stub up: the distance from the end of conduit to the bottom of the 90° bend. www.doorway.ruine the height of the offset/stub up, for this example it is 11" (Figure 1). www.doorway.ru this example a 1/2" pipe will be used, so subtract 5" from the height of the offset. Place the bender on the conduit facing the free end that is opposite the original bend you made in step 2. Line up the mark from step 3 with the start point symbol on the bender. Apply pressure to the heel end of the bender with your foot, using the handle as a lever, until you reach the 90 degree position. 1. A proper bend is made by rolling the conduit about the bender in the conduit’s cradle using all foot pressure. 2. Use the correct size bender for the conduit size being bent. 3. 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. 4.

Hand conduit benders and handles are simple lever mechanisms that use body strength and leverage to manipulate metal pipe and conduit for onsite electrical.
