The first of the five steps used to determine bender take-up is:

Measure and mark ten inches on an appropriate stick of conduit

Subtract 10 inches from the stub length, the remainder will be your take-up

Step 1 of the four step procedure used to determine and locate the bend centers of an offset bend is: __________________

Determine the offset depth needed

Multiply the offset depth by the proper shrinkage per inch of offset depth value

Determine the angles of offset that will be used

Multiply the offset depth by the proper constant multiplier.

___________________ bends are often used to run conduit around a corner of a room

About this resource

This quiz focuses on basic conduit bending techniques and calculations, a fundamental skill set in electrical installation and construction trades education. The content is appropriate for post-secondary vocational or technical training programs, typically at the community college level or specialized trade school instruction. Students need to master essential conduit bending terminology including take-up, gain, stub length, and leg length, while understanding the mathematical relationships between these measurements. The quiz assesses knowledge of bending equipment components such as bender shoes, sight gauges, and hickeys, along with their specific applications. Students must also demonstrate proficiency in multi-step calculation procedures for determining bend centers, offset measurements, and conduit length requirements using industry-standard formulas and constants. Created by Shannon Honeycutt, a teacher in the US who teaches post-secondary trade education. This assessment serves as an excellent tool for evaluating student comprehension of foundational conduit bending principles before progressing to hands-on laboratory exercises. The quiz functions effectively as a formative assessment to identify knowledge gaps in theoretical understanding, or as a review instrument before practical examinations. Teachers can deploy this as a warm-up activity to reinforce previously covered material or assign it as homework to solidify conceptual learning between lab sessions. The content aligns with career and technical education standards for electrical construction and maintenance programs, specifically addressing competencies in conduit installation, bending calculations, and proper tool usage that prepare students for entry-level positions in the electrical trades.

The _____________ of a 90 degree bend is the longest length from the end of the straight section of pipe to the bend

The first of the five steps used to determine bender take-up is:

For larger jobs, it can be about ____________ percent more expensive to used connectors to change the direction of the conduit rather than bending.

The ______________ is the distance measured from the top or bottom of an offset parallel to the opposite (top or bottom) side of the remaining parallel.

The ________________ depends on the size and type of conduit used and determines the radius of the bend

A _______________ has a much smaller “shoe” and must be repositioned several times along the conduit in order to properly bend conduit.

The ______________ operates by looking straight down at the indicator and comparing it to the five calibrated bending degree marks on the shoe.

The first thing an electrician should do when beginning work with a bender is to determine the ____________ of the bender being used.

Step 1 of the four step procedure used to determine and locate the bend centers of an offset bend is: __________________

he formula ______________ can be used to determine the length of conduit required to bend a 90 with proper leg and stub length, where: LC = The length of conduit required to make the bend LL= Desired leg length of 90 degree bend, LS = Desired stub length.
