Conduit bending calculators
Conduit bending math, one page per bend: the marks and the shrink as tape fractions or millimetres, the working shown, the procedure at the bender under the number. Start with the offset — or, if you are new to it, start from zero →
- Geometry, not tables. Every figure is trigonometry on what you type; take-up comes off your own bender.
- Inches or millimetres. Tape fractions to the sixteenth, or whole mm — one switch at the top sets the whole site.
- Free, phone-first. No sign-up. Works with gloves on; email the marks to yourself or print them for the bender.

Enter the height you need to clear and your bend angle. The marks and the shrink update as you type, the diagram redraws with them, and the "Do it" list under the number is what to do at the bender. Every other bend has its own page below.

Calculateurs
Offsets
- Conduit offset Rise and angle to the distance between marks and shrink.
- Offset angle finder Rise and the room you have to the exact angle, marks and the chip angle that fits.
- Rolled offset Rise and roll to the true offset and roll angle.
- Box offset The small step that seats a connector in a knockout.
- Parallel offsets Keep a rack of conduits even through the jog.
- Conduit shrink The length an offset pulls out of the run.
- Bending multipliers Every angle: exact multiplier and the shop rule.
Saddles
90s and stubs
- 90° stub-up Height and take-up to the mark from the end.
- Kick 90 A 90 stub with a kick in the tail to lift the run.
- Back-to-back bend Two 90s a set distance apart, as a squared U.
- Bender take-up Find your own take-up from a test bend.
- Deduct and gain Your bender’s deduct and gain to the cut length and marks of two 90s.

Pipe, tools and your bender
- EMT, rigid, IMC and PVC What bends differently, and what stays the same, from one pipe to the next.
- How to bend PVC conduit Heat, form, cool: hot box or blanket, plugs, and holding the shape.
- Measure your bender Take-up, gain, notch and springback from four test bends — your table, not a chart.
- Your bender card Your own take-up, gain, notch and springback printed as a pocket card per pipe size, stub marks worked out.
Reference
- 3-point vs 4-point saddle Which saddle for which obstruction, and how the marks differ.
