Lesson 107 – Conduit Bending

What is the first objective of Lesson 107 – Conduit Bending?

• Outline the safety procedures for conduit bending.

• Label the points on a hand bender and list terms used in conduit bending.

• Describe the types of conduit materials and their uses.

• Explain the importance of proper conduit installation.

What is the second objective of Lesson 107 – Conduit Bending?

• Discuss the history of conduit bending.

• Outline mathematical calculations and apply them to bending conduit.

• Identify the tools required for conduit bending.

• Compare different methods of conduit bending.

What is a dog leg in conduit bending?

• A standard method for bending conduits in parallel

• A bending mistake where two bends in a raceway are not in the same plane

• A type of conduit connector

• A tool used for bending conduits

What is a kick in conduit bending?

• A bending mistake similar to a dog leg

• A tool used to hold the conduit in place

• A single bend in a raceway that changes the direction of the run

• A measurement technique for conduit installation

What are concentric bends?

• Bends that are made at varying angles to create a spiral effect

• Bends made in conduits that are installed side-by-side and need to be turned around a corner

• Bends that are made with different radius points for each bend

• Bends that are made in a raceway to correct a dog leg

Which part of the conduit has the shortest radius length when using a hand bender?

• The part closest to the radius point

• The part farthest from the radius point

• The part at the hook

• The part at the arrow

Where should foot pressure be applied when using a hand bender?

• On the hook

• On the star

• On the arrow

• On the designated foot pressure area

What is the purpose of the 'line of sight' on a hand bender?

• To indicate where to apply foot pressure

• To align the conduit for accurate bending

• To measure the radius length

• To mark the starting point of the bend

What is indicated by the 'star' on a hand bender?

• The point to apply foot pressure

• The starting point of the bend

• The end point of the bend

• The point to hold the bender

When bending 1/2" EMT, which position should the handle of the bender be in?

• Handle up

• Handle down

• At a stairwell

• No specific position required
