What will happen if the time is not taken to properly measure and lay out a job before
trying to bend conduit? - Answers- I. Additional labor to re-bend
II. Conduit may need to be bent multiple times as a result of inaccurate measurements
IV. Increased amount of scrapped conduit
The only viable method to reduce the material cost itself is to reduce waste, and the
only practical way of doing that is to be skilled in measuring, calculating, and laying out
the conduit bends. - Answers- True
, What tool can be used to prevent an off-axis between bends in an offset (dog-legs)? -
Answers- No-dog level
A lightweight metallic raceway without threads is called ? in the National Electrical

A "plumb 30" or a "plumb 45" bender will reliably produce an approximate 30°- or 45°-
bend when the conduit is horizontal and the handle is pulled up so that the handle is
vertical or plumb. - Answers- True
Note: There are too many variables to rely solely upon the position of the bender handle
to determine the angle of bend. Each bender should be checked initially to verify the
accuracy of the bender markings and the take-up value.
The recommended way to mark a conduit for bending is to place a short pencil or
marker marking where the bend will occur. - Answers- False
When fabricating a 90°-bend, the distance to the bending mark is equal to? - Answers-
The stub-up minus the take-up
Calculate the distance to the reference mark for a 12 3/4-inch stub-up length and match
it to the conduit size. - Answers- 1/2 " → 7 3/4"
3/4" → 6 3/4"
1" → 4 3/4"
1 1/4" → N/A
Choose the value that most closely equals the stub-up length needed for the 1/2-inch
EMT in the photo. Keep in mind that if the measurement is being taken to the side of the
box, instead of the inside of the connector, it will be necessary to subtract a slight
amount (1/16 to1/8 inch) to compensate for the ridge at the bottom of the connector. A
temporarily inserted conduit has been installed for a measurement. - Answers- Even
though it appears that the actual value required is 17 15/16", it is best to shorten the
