Multiplier and shrink
–
Add the shrink to your measurement to the obstacle so the offset lands where you want it.
How to use it
- Measure the obstacle
Its height from the conduit’s run, in inches or millimetres.
- Pick the bend
The angle your bender is marked for, or the saddle’s centre bend.
- Mark and bend
Mark the distances shown, and add the shrink to your measurement.
Tips
- Smaller angle, longer offset
A 10° offset is gentle and pulls easily; a 45° one is short and tight.
- Same plane
Keep both bends of an offset in the same plane, or the pipe dog-legs.
- Check the angle
Lay your phone on the pipe and read the bend with the level while you pull.
