Conduit Bending is a conduit bending calculator for electricians: 17 bend calculators for offsets, rolling offsets, 3-point and 4-point saddles, 90° bends and corners, with your bender's numbers built in. Pick your bender, enter the measurements, and get the marks for the bend. No bending chart, no working it out on the back of a box. Switch between imperial (inches) and metric (cm) at any time. OFFSET BENDS • Offset: Basic • Offset: 1st Bend Critical • Offset: 2nd Bend Critical • Offset: Parallel Adjustment for parallel runs ROLLING OFFSET CALCULATOR • Rolled Offset: Basic • Rolled Offset: 1st Bend Critical • Rolled Offset: 2nd Bend Critical SADDLE BENDS • 3-Point Saddle: Basic and Critical distance • 4-Point Saddle: Basic and Critical distance 90° BENDS • 90°: Basic • Back to Back 90° • Kicked 90° CORNERS • Corner around a square obstacle • Corner around a rectangular obstacle • Corner around a round obstacle BENDERS AND UNITS • Choose from more than 30 predefined hand, Chicago, electric and hydraulic benders • EMT, IMC, rigid (RMC) and PVC conduit, from 1/2" to 5" • Work in inches or centimeters • A built-in calculator that handles fractions and converts between cm and inches, from the makers of Calculator+ Whether you bend conduit every day or are learning how to bend conduit, Conduit Bending puts every bend in one pipe bending calculator on your iPhone.

Upgrade when you need more. The optional 24-hour Pro trial starts when you choose to start it. After it ends, Pro tools lock unless you buy the one-time unlock; free tools remain free. Nothing is charged automatically. CutRight helps with calculations, not full electrical code compliance. No NEC ampacity or conduit-fill tables are reproduced; conduit fill is worked out from manufacturers' published sizes. Verify measurements, your bender's markings, equipment instructions and applicable codes before installation. Bender chart values come from maker references; geometric calculations and trade approximations are labeled in the app. Manufacturer names identify included charts only. CutRight is not affiliated with Greenlee, Klein Tools, IDEAL, Gardner Bender or Current Tools.
