What is Conduit Bending?
Conduit Bending offers a comprehensive solution for electricians by calculating exact mark positions for various conduit bends. The app supports 16 bend types including offsets, saddles, 90-degree bends, and rolling offsets, ensuring precise measurements for every job.
With a built-in bender library featuring specifications from major brands like Greenlee, Ideal, and Klein, the tool automatically adjusts calculations based on the selected bender. It provides flexibility with dual unit support, allowing users to switch between imperial and metric measurements seamlessly.
Features
- Offset Bends: Calculate offset bends at any angle with precise distance between bends and mark positions
- Saddle Bends: Generate 3-point and 4-point saddle bends with all mark positions for clean installations over obstacles
- 90-Degree Bends: Calculate stub-ups, back-to-back 90s, and kick 90s with exact marks for perfect bends
- Rolling Offsets: Solve complex rolling offset bends by entering rise, roll, and offset to get true offset angles and distances
- Bender Library: Built-in specifications for popular benders from Greenlee, Ideal, and Klein with automatic deduct and gain value adjustments
- Dual Units: Switch between imperial (inches/fractions) and metric (millimeters/centimeters) measurements with one tap
