Measuring Tape & Conduit Bender

Measuring Tape Calculator

Measurement

Bend angle Rise / offset depth (inches) Pipe end to first mark (optional, for the bend steps)

EMT. Outputs distance between the two bend marks and the shrinkage to subtract.

Angle Picker

Center bend angle Obstacle height (inches) Obstacle width (inches) Distance to center of obstacle (inches)

EMT. Center bend over the middle of the obstacle; outer bends at half the center angle. Marks measured from the end of the conduit.

Bend angle set Pipe end to near edge of obstacle Obstacle height (inches) Obstacle width (inches)

EMT. Pick the bend-angle set, then enter the distance to the obstacle, height, and width. Marks are measured from the end of the conduit.

Leg 1: connector end to back of 1st 90 Back of 1st 90 to back of 2nd 90 Strap gap off the surface (optional)

EMT. Mark 1 uses the ARROW (take-up subtracted). Mark 2 uses the STAR (no take-up).

Connector to wall Strap gap off the wall Run along the wall (back of 1st 90 to back of 2nd 90) First turn (walking from the connector to the wall)

EMT. 1st 90 turns along the wall, 2nd 90 turns up at the corner.

Stub height (inches)

Stub height = from the target tip to the back of the bend (the outside of the 90°). EMT take-up: 1/2" = 5", 3/4" = 6", 1" = 8".

Desired bend radius (inches)

EMT. Shots and degrees-per-shot are set automatically by the selected conduit size (1/2" = 3×30°, 3/4" = 6×15°, 1" = 9×10°). The radius drives the spacing between each shot.
